Game News Game Factory Interactive tries to clear up JA3D commotion

Tags: Game Factory Interactive; Jagged Alliance 3D

<b>Svetlana Alexeeva</b>, PR manager at Game Factory Interactive, who seem to be publishing MiSTLand's Jagged Alliance titles somewhere, sent us this email to attempt to demystify the recent events surrounding the transformation of JA3D into African Alliance.<blockquote>Jagged Alliance 3D was not canceled! Its development runs according to the schedule and very soon the audience will see new details of the project. As it was stated before, Jagged Alliance 3D is the sequel of the famous series of tactical turn-based games, presenting the new level of quality and following the best traditions of previous games. The unique turn-based system, high game world interaction, true physic and well-know characters - everything to make happy even the most zealous fans of JA.

<br>
Moreover, Mist Land development team is preparing to start the Jagged Alliance 3 (logical JA2 sequel) development. This project is on pre-production stage now and more information on it will be available later.
<br>
<br>
At the same time Mist Land South is in developing real time tactical strategy titled African Alliance. The official presentation of this project will take place at this year E3 show. This project has original story-line, unique style and characters and it’s not related to Jagged Alliance series. As far as we understand, this unannounced project was the reason that brought chaos to news lines and provoked false gossips about “one more Jagged Alliance”.
<br>
African Alliance will be announced in the nearest time. And official page of this project, where you could find more info about the game, will be open soon and could be found on Mist Land’s website! So, watch for our news and wait for official press-releases!</blockquote>Yes... MiSTLand just spontaneously decided to make a game that's almost identical to Jagged Alliance except in real time... For some reason, I'm reminded of Killzig's <a href=http://www.duckandcover.cx/content.php?id=70>Fallout Fantasy</a> newspost way back when.

 

not 1 but 3 chances to play crap!

 

I'll just take a wild guess and say that African Alliance is probably Jagged Alliance 3D renamed. After SFI and the JA fans threw a fit over the Real Time announcement they probably scrapped JA3D and instead of ditching all of their production, they just renamed it.

 

So long as they use this new title as a vehicle to try all their bad ideas and just keep JA3D a JA game, then the game may just turn out alright.

 

Why have you invoked teh Killzig??? I was sleeping quite peacefully up until now.

 

Steve's been looking for you, Killz. I think he misses stroking you like a kitten.

 

I called him last week and left him my cell phone #. Dumb fuck. Been travelling for the last couple of weeks.

 

Yea well the message got erased...is it the same number you gave last time? Perhaps call again tomorrow (Tuesday) asshole.

 

Mistland has always been at war with Australasia
