      Nobody mentioned Sanctuary, yet?

      Closest we will get with a remaster I guess.

      Nobody mentions sanctuary due to the retarded shit they tried pulling off with FAF.

          Nobody mentions sanctuary because it's not a remaster.
          Not sure why some people try establish a stab-in-the-back myth regarding to Sanctuary.
          Everybody is free to choose a project he likes. Many people left FAF before sanctuary even existed and many people will leave regardless of Sanctuary for all kinds of reasons.

            Trying to use both main FAF discord servers to promote and gather funds for their own game is a rather shitty move in my books.

              Then we lost 1 mio. $ and damaged the rts genre and sup com as a brand, making sure there'll never be a commercial successor.

              Wait, these guys are already doing it XD:

              I envy the developers of Sanctuary. Raise a lot of money on Kickstarter. It doesn't matter if they make a good game or not, the main thing is that they will be engaged in a high-paying hobby. They don't have to go to boring full-time jobs.

              Dear @brutus5000, Sanctuary devs do it and don't whine about it being impossible.
              I wish them to raise $ 1 million dollars on kickstarter.)

                Sanctuary would tell you it was impossible to do anything in your OP. You don’t understand the expenses involved with ip rights.

                    Would have better luck with an fps supcom spin-off where you play as some sort of a human piloted mech marine than a proper remastered rts supcom. I’m picturing that with the Titanfall engine and now I kinda want it.

                      @Exselsior how about this game, it is made by a single developer at this moment. See also this interview

                        Is this a joke or do you really have no clue how indy game development works? Sanctuary work is not high paying. The founders basically brought in all their personal savings to bring it into a state just good enough to attract investors.
                        This is a high risk investment for everyone. And even if its successful in the end, the majority of the margin will go to these investors.

                        They don't "do it". The do something entirely different. The try something new. Different game mechanics. The difference between a remaster and something new should be obvious.
                        The remaster needs to be as close as possible to the original. But the original was commercially barely successfull and the market has declined.
                        So the potential customer base faces this situation: You like SupCom the way it is. Now you either play the original game for 2$ or buy the remaster for 50$.

                        For a new game in a different universe with different mechanics you either buy it or you don't. There is no alternative. Also people don't have the same expectations, as they don't know how it should be.
