Interesting.  If they don't do another Sins expansion, does that mean a new game/IP/Sins 2 development begins?

As a casual gamer, I really enjoyed Sins, but I'm not sure that my enjoyment would be increased by another expansion, unless it did some really unique and cool stuff.

Heh, popularity would definitely be guaranteed for a 64 bit redesign of the engine (requirement for getting rid of the 2gb memory limit), however that would skyrocket the cost of development as well and couldn't really be expansion-priced.. especially since the poll doesn't make clear if they're thinking micro-expansion like the previous ones, or a full blown one.

That said, there've been plenty of ideas posted around the forums for cool stuff to add, with some making recurring appearances, so there's plenty of fan suggested material to draw from.

Good thought on opening up a more public thread. I probably should have done that in the first place with mine.

I'm kind of stoked about the possibility of a new expansion as the possibilities for this engine is still very viable. In regards to the Windows 32 bit 2GB per process limit imposed on all games I can only hope that they will make improvements to streamline their development process (TSOP mod showed what is possible with their existing game assets and addressing this limit). Personally I would be more psyched for a full expansion and not a third micro expansion but if they think they have the right recipe for either I'll give them a shot.

Honestly I want a new game more then another expansion. Sins is great, but Ironclad can do a lot if they're freed from the existing constraints... including making a 64 bit version. (Seriously that's not something you do in an expansion unless it's a $40 expansion.)

Yeah, but they're also working on their next game, which is Not-Sins. They're definitely not big enough to do two games at once.

Well, I said "new game", not necessarily "sequel". I'd like a sequel too, but Ironclad doing something else doesn't worry me. They do good work.

But another Sins expansion? Honestly with the current engine limitations in CPU power on a single thread and memory limits, I'm not sure what you could add to the game that would be worth the effort. Seems like it's best to leave it as the gem that it is and let the new game break those limitations down.

Well, if it include that we can have more than 2 opponent I'm in .

I want an expansion that fixs all the lag, allows multithreaded support and more ram support i am all for a new expansion if they fix the key aspects of the game that show its age. While an awesome game some of these aspects show its age. But i would love to see some more expansions. IF Ironclad can update its engine while making new expansions im all for this game staying alive indefinatly i have seen many big companies do this eve online for instance while its not the same type of game they have upgraded thier engine without making an eve 2 so if Ironclad can pull off changes in an expansion im all for it otherwise if they cannot they should move on to Sins 2 imho taking all they have learned from sins and add it into the first game meaning all the expansions added to sins 2 and more.
