Seems Atari gets the rights to make a revamped TA to adapt the engine for the newest Windows out there (from XP to Seven)

have a look here :

WHAT THE HELL O REALLY?!

WE GET TA2 NOW?! OH WOW!


to be honest TA should be Open-source or at least be Free-ware i mean that Game is damn old!

and that sucks.. to be honest because they ruin it with DRM and other crap

Not really, there was a few re-edit like "platinum collections" and such but with no work at all on the engine, so it was running so-so on newer systems.
Remember TA is a DirectX 3 game ! (or was it 5 ?) I have experienced things like so sound in game, some sound but no victory gong at end of a map, etc etc

What I'd like is the possibility to download only this new game engine (let's say to get a patch) but hey, business is business

Damn 14 Year old and it Cost 9$..
with hardly any much improvment


are they sick or what? for 9 buck you can get games wich is much better (modability,graphic,etc..)


also TA uses D3D5 not D3D3..

Am i right that they added a new launcher mainly? If attack stall bug is not fixed there is no sense in new revision.

Hi everyone,

not only Impulse (http://www.impulsedriven.com/totalannihilation) but now also Gog (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/total_an ... ander_pack) proposes our drug on the wild ;) and cheaper !

The game contains all the extensions, no DRM, plus the game engine have been modified so that you don't need the CD in the tray anymore to play or have the music playing and runs perfectly even on newer Windows systems like Seven 64bit.

If you don't have it already or have an not-so-legitimate copy, just get it. It's only a few bucks, man !

I'm having Chris Taylor as friend in a social website where he shortly (and vaguely) spoke of TA2 as his own project.
I'll quote him there if I can put my hands on his publication.

EDIT: You may know that C.Taylor brutaly stopped the development of Kings an Castles (in pre-production), given he signed with Microsoft for developing Age of Empires Online.
This means he won't start to work on TA2 so soon...
