Malfador Machinations hits Strategy First!

[douglas]

So Starfury's going retail too, eh? Makes me wonder if SEIV will also soon be seen on retail store shelves.

They need to update their game search section. They've added Malfador Machinations to the developers list, but I don't get any search results for current or upcoming games by MM.

Edit: "sizeable online component for extended play" is probably a reference to the game's moddability and the number of mods available for download. It's a misleading way to say it, but not strictly false. At least the review they linked to is pretty accurate.

I hope the version they put on the shelves includes the latest patch and applies it automatically. There are too many gamers out there that don't automatically go looking for patches for the games they buy, and some of the bugs in the initial release version could really put people off.

Personally...I just don't think it'll do well in the retail market. Not enough flash. Sad to say...

There is no reason to install an old version of SE4, and then patch... Since they're making a whole new batch of CDs it should be quite simple to directly install the latest stuff right off the bat.
