Will THQ make a sequel for Deadly Creatures?

How the sales are going??

I would love a sequel to this game. The first one was quite good and with a few improvements, the sequel could be brilliant. Unfortunately, the last I heard was that the game wasn't selling well. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

I highly doubt it, this game bombed and THQ lost money due to it.

i hope so....but i hope they pick creatures that would be more suited to a game.osan0

They actually picked a scorpion and tarantula because they thought those WERE the most suited for a game. The original idea was to play as the snake, but that didn't work out, so they changed to creatures that could do more (and different) things.

i know this will sound a bit cringe worthy...but i think the concept could really use a bit of edutainment. pick a couple of creatures that actively hunt (so not a trap door spider :P), who have good eye sight and who do have skills and abilities that would lend themselves well to a game. then basically make a game where the player exeriences a day in the life of one of these creatures (with a bit of drama added of course). the game should also focus a bit more on the survival side rather than the action side. u need to keep fed, u need to find a mate, u need to avoid any predators and you need to rest. these elements should be factors in the gameplay and design.osan0

In all honesty, that would ruin it, and I don't think the devs would be interested in that type of simulation style game. It might be cool as a different game from a different developer, but it wouldn't fit in the Deadly Creatures universe.

I'd like to see the same type of game in a sequel but with a different story and a different environment. Let's see some nasty creatures from the jungle or something, or even in a more populated desert setting.

Heh, in looking for an interview that explains why they chose the two creatures they did, I found this quote from the lead designer: "And then we can do another one. I'd love to do one that takes on the predators of a different ecosystem." So if we do get a sequel -- cross your fingers -- it'll probably be the same type of game but in a much different setting. Sounds good to me.

Maybe a water based one instead? That'd be pretty cool.

The biggest concern I have with the first one is the inclusion of voice talent from Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Hopper. I can't imagine that came without a substantial expenditure increase, and in thinking back over the game, it does seem kind of strange that they'd get such big-name actors on the project, given how few lines they really had. I imagine that will probably impede their ability to turn a profit on the game (which is ultimately probably the make-or-break question with respect to whether we see a sequel).

They could make another one.

While the sales havent been good, no game considers to bomb truly up until at least6 months.Normallyno company expects to recoup expenses in the first 3 or 4 weeks, thats ,from a business point, elegantly put, stupid.

There is a chance for it to pick up, like many other games.I wouldnt hurry on a sequel but i would be silly to condemm it after a month.There could be room for improvement just as well.

On a related note, has anyone seen any commercials for this game? They have a hilarious one up on game sites, and I'm sure some kind of commercial could be made of this. I think if those got widespread airtime, they would easily help it sell.

im getting that game for my birth day in may.
