English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Sensible Soccer & Cannon Fodder makes a comeback

Unfortunately, only for the mobile market, but it's still interesting. What's more, the team creating these titles consists of veterans from Sensible Software and Bitmap Brothers, including John Hare and Mike Montgomery.

Here's an in-depth interview with them: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=56179

A few quotes:

Eurogamer: How faithful to the original Amiga versions will Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder be?

Jon Hare: Remarkably faithful, Sensible Soccer is already playing incredibly well and we are squeezing as many of the tactical and game type options in as we possibly can, yet again it will be the football game written by football fans for football fans and it will piss all over FIFA.

Eurogamer: Would you consider reviving other lost classics from the Sensible archive, such as Wizball and Megalomania?

Jon Hare: Yes we would consider this, either as the developer directly or as the overseeing design/production company, although as I have already stated we do not want to get caught in the trap of just reproducing golden oldies.
-snip-

Edit: Mods, feel free to move this thread to retrogaming & general discussion if it's more appropriate there.
