With the death of Pandemic and Electronic Arts not exactly putting its marketing weight behind the thing, a sequel forThe Saboteurseems unlikely. Nevertheless, EA has said that a sequel could come … provided enough people buy the first game.
“We’re hoping they’re going to want Saboteur. I think they will,”says EA CEO John Riccitiello. “Then we’ll probably sequel that too.”
Bit of a Captain Obvious, here — since when has EAnotwanted to make a sequel of something that sells well? Even so, it’s nice to see Riccitiello so keen on the idea ofThe Saboteurdoing well. Perhaps the publisher could stand to promote it a little better rather than just throw it out there with no fanfare. The only way something will sell is if a publisher actually, y’know,sellsit.
I personally hope the game succeeds, as I liked it a lot.Our review gave it an 8.5, which made a lot of people who haven’t even played it angry for no good reason (one even calling me a “f*cking snake” for daring to like the game), but it’s a worthy title and one that deserves far more attention than it’s gotten. Also,it has boobs in it, which is always a plus.
