Would anyone still want H&D3 with the way Mafia II turned out? I'll admit I would be curious but somehow I feel like it would end up like MOH Airborne with some gimmick or sell point.
Or it may even go modern  no_02

It is sad where the video game industry is going. Honestly, I still use an XP computer (except for my windows 7 laptop which I use for schoolwork) mostly because I still play a lot of old(ish) games (ie. Sid Meier's Civilization, M1 Tank Platoon II, Transport Tycoon, Worms, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy video game) because, I find anyway, they are way better than a lot of new games. A lot of the video game industry is becoming a cash grab, selling "The electronic equivalent of banging two rocks together" to amuse the large crowds.

Really, if we want a Hidden and Dangerous 3, we are probably best just to do it ourselves... grin01

I'd like to either finance the development of a H&D clone or actually have a hand in developing a H&D clone (hell I'd even try to get the original lead guys to throw some ideas in if they were willing to take my money :lol: all dreams at this stage). Of course if I had the money to finance the thing I would try to buy the IP, my hope is that it would be "cheap" any way since they are no doubt working on Mafia 3 only.

Mafia III is in the works?

Also, the Invasion44 mod for Arma II has an H&D tribute commando campaign. The models are quite excellent. Although the level of immersion is not as good as the original in terms of enemy AI behavior.

Mafia 3 has to be in the works, has to be. They don't have anything else they can make, all their other projects/new IP went under and abondoned years ago. H&D was so long ago it would be like launching a new IP and publishers dont like doing that.

"Invasion44", looks like they are making it for Arma 3 as well which is great because it controls so much better than Arma 2. Will keep an eye out for that :grin:
