Kind of nice people are still making Black And White 2 mods this far after the game came out. It would be awesome if somebody could actually make a Black And White 3, but I doubt it will ever come although modern day graphics would lend itself quite nicely to a god game. Especially the hair-tech on the creatures that is available today.
I would buy it, but no studio or publisher would invest in making that kind of game nowadays.
That’s pretty true sadly. Especially since Peter Molyneux has next to no credibility in the gaming world now, and he sort of did everything he could to make sure he never would be respected again by making himself out like a borderline con-man now.
Whats the best way to go about getting this game on pc now days?
