Total Annihilation 2

Liberator · April 14, 2006, 12:19:29 AM

One of the games I usually come back to playing every now and again is Total Annihilation. Nothing seems to have the same appeal that TA provided, C&C Generals has come the closest so far and the original C&C stuff used to have me and my flatmate sat battling each other for 2-6 hours at a time.

Anyway, TA, it's old.

Very old by gaming standards and since the collapse of 'Cavedog' it looked like a sequel was never going to appear (There was Kingdoms, but that was fantasy based RTS). Then there were slight noises about a company getting the rights to produce TA2 back in 2004.

They died a death, but every now and again I "Google" it, just in case.

Today I noticed a new "what happened to TA2" thread on one of the old TA2 fan sites that sprang up under the rumours, so I had a quick glance, it mentioned a new game called "Supreme Commander".

Looking further into it I found that a website is up and running for it.

Supreme Commander

A little more poking around revealed this on IGN.

Its by the same bloke as TA, with the same sort of big robots and carnage, but it can't be called TA2 because they don't own the rights.

So it is TA2, but under a different name.
