"Dungeons" announced

[Trass3r]

Well actually DK2 didn't do too well sales wise, which is partly why EA believed a third one was too big a risk :/

They also wanted to concentrate on new consoles at the time.

Sales were partly down to EA, due to them not having a big marketing push. The game is amazing, as you all know, and review scores were pretty high. Much like Activision have done a bad job of marketing Blur and games that aren't COD, EA did a bad job with DKII.

From what it seems, you won't be making the heroes happy lol. Basically, it seems like you will have to make a magnificent dungeon which will attract heroes from all over the world. It's quite obvious that the strongest adventurers won't bother with invading some crappy old tomb where the only thing that could be considered treasure are the dead bodies of some rats which have died from the stench of rotting bodies. However, if your dungeon is rich, with a library full of forsaken magic and treasury full of gold and ancient artifacts, chances are, some of the world's best heroes will try to invade.

It also seems to have similar sort of humour as DKII... which is good

If you ask me, some people at Kalypso were fans of the two first games and wanted to make a sequel, but couldn't/didn't want to acquire rights so they made their own game

this pretty much confirms it :P

Looking at some of the in game creatures gives me a somewhat strange feeling of slight optimism, but mainly strong disappointment that it won't be exactly like DK :/

They seem to be pretty cool, mixture of some classical style while being quite original at the same time :P

Game looks like it will be good in a different way from dungeon keeper.
