... and following your point of view, all games should be available in all platforms, so that the companies can get even more $. That's just not valid.

Well, if we ignored the costs of doing a quality port to other platforms, it'd stand. But even porting a game to another platform (with maintaining the same quality) costs $$, and it might not worth it in the end...

Most time the PC games work out fine?? Nono! That's not quite true

Howcome Acclaim went bankrupt then? Along with 3DO and many other PC oriented developing studios...

For a long while now. Maybe even a year.

Heroes of Might and Magic is one of the best turn based fantasy strategy game, btw... if not the best

here is what i don't get: Midway was made rich and famous for a few simple things - excessive blood, gore, and hardcore violence

guess what? all of these things are at the very heart of Drakan gameplay!

therefore, it is logical to conclude that Drakan + Midway = the perfect match!

maybe one of you guys who is good with Photoshop etc. could create some flowcharts that demonstrate this concept, and then mail them to Midway!

and if the problem is that Sony stills own the IP rights to Drakan - i'm sure they'd be willing to sell them to Midway if the price is right (a dead property shouldn't cost too much, one would think!)

"excessive blood, gore, and hardcore violence" - outmost games today are based on this, not only Drakan... why would midway pay anything for a dead property, actually?

i find that very few games feature decapitations/severings and fountains upon fountains of blood like Drakan

yes they have blood and violence but not to the same extent

then again, maybe i'm just "out of touch" with the latest games since i don't play consoles and could be wrong about all this

in any case - i'm sure if Surreal made some concept art of the OOTF version of Arokh biting off some guys' heads - Midway would buy back the Drakan IP [:D]

Wha?

Blade of Darkness - Severance
Blood
Blood 2
Soldier of Fortune
Soldier of Fortune 2
Mortal Kombat 1,2,3,4
<ANY other beat em up games>
Unreal 1,2
Unreal Tournament 1, 2003, 2004
Quake 3

These are which I can get right off my head.

For a neat decapitation, try picking up a Chainsaw on UT1 [:P] Of course, you can do it with a Sniper, or athe Reaper, but it ain't half as fun.
Messy remnants of human corpses, 6 rockets on a foe. You can try it at point blank range, and that'll make two messy remnants of corpses.
And yes, I was addicted to UT. Until my copy got scratched.
