Neocron Reloaded is not Neocron 3. It's a port of the Neocron content to a different game engine, with "the best of NC1 and NC2." They're not just giving NC2 a spitshine and slapping a F2P label on it.Originally Posted by elGringo
Without the old code, the current hacks and netcode problems will be gone forever and they can actually develop the game without having to deal with the current messy code. This is why people are optimistic, not because they're expecting a shiny new world to explore.
The whole point of Neocron Reloaded is that they can finish it in a fraction of the time and cost it would take to make Neocron 3. (and I think NC3 would be the logical next step once NCR is done.)
Worst case scenarios: they manage to ruin it with F2P cashshop shit, or don't even get funding.
