He said Ballistic, so he meant Ballistic. (Windows, Mac).

It's useless. Take2 is only interested in large-scale projects that will bring them a lot of money. Like a big giant who can not get enough of the six or seven digit zeros which they are presented.

Chances to collect the amount you want to Take2 for selling the rights to a series of Myth, negligible. Even Kickstarer not bring such a sum. . . and we know this from personal experience.

We'd almost have better luck convincing Bungie to buy the rights back and license them out freely to us.

Has anyone tried this in recent years? Since they've broken their contract with M$?

Take 2 also likes to mine IPs they have from time to time. The last one they mined was X-Com which got a fantastic reboot, which is faithful to the original in style, difficulty and gameplay, and was quite successful.

It wouldn't surprise me if one day they made a new Myth, but you'd really need the right team for it.

Mumbo Jumbo isn't going to have anything new. You wanted a myth3 editor, I already linked you to one in my previous post. Besides, Myth 3 hasn't gotten updates in years. Some people can't even run it on their latest operating systems. There is no server to play it either anymore.

Ballistic was the better tool. I hated Flying Flip and what they believed in for the most part, but that editor was a godsend for anyone wanting to mod M3. Vengeance sucked hard. At least Ballistic was more or less crash-free.

Except, as Pyro stated, it won't work on more modern operating systems.

Well, what's wrong with the M3? Why not to make a TFL or M2 company on that engine? Is it have a some problems, or it just so different, that he will change original gameplay, or some other reason? Why nobody interesting him?

Many Myth fans did not like Myth 3. There are many things different people did not like about it like the story, the gameplay, the blocky 3D models, the dark colors, etc. The Myth 3 engine is old and while it was newer than Myth 2, its 3D engine still had lots of issues. Some people can't run Myth 3 even with the last update made for it. Some of it is similar to Myth 2 but other things and even the gameplay are different. Also, Project Magma has updated Myth 2 many times which have helped keep the game working for many operating systems.

No one can just make a game using Myth 3. Take Two (or some branch of it) owns the rights. Need to buy the rights first or have them license the game to a company to make a game.
