I think the DEDA comments are the same as what we were told just prior to the month of Dec. I will have to search it out to be sure...basically nothing has changed, lets get ready to rumble:-P

Of course it is not official information.We wan't get any until announcement.

But I find this source very respectable.

Deda is Andrey Samoteikin author of this great series.

For me no official news does not mean "nothing has changed" it means "We don't want to give official news".

IvanK is a very respectable source too and his thread got deleted.

Nothing will ever make you negative nancy's stop, the mods will close your negative threads as they do nothing but feed your desire to see the worst in anything. You can easily discuss this news on ATAG or SimHQ to your hearts content, this is the companies website so you have to expect different things. The moment some good news comes along you want to shut that thread down so you can continue with your pessimism.

Its quite possible IC has been in discussions for many months with an investor like their own government to help sponsor work on a series of historical Russian fronts. These talks could take months and they don't need alot of negative speculation coming from the forums as "everything", however small, is taken into consideration when making deals. This would be free money to help finish the game engine, and provide a historical account of the sacrifices and courage of the Russian people during the Great War. A win win situation. You gotta love positive speculation, hate negative speculation. ;)

Since everyone throws in their speculations, here's one scenario that's possible based on fragments of info we've picked up here and there on this forums and my wilde speculations just for fun.
I think 1c is going to bring new Eastern front content, on CLOD engine, but they'll shake the company a bit before going forward.
From what I understand, they didn't aprove Luthier's "Project Galba" and the proposed med/Africa addon, so Luthier,(maybe together with some of the programers he brought into Maddox games) will be out of the team. Since Luthier and Jasson are good friends, I wouldn't exclude seing Luthier's Project Galba (Koreea) being made on Rise of Flight engine.

Of course, this are wilde drunken speculations and I could be barking, not only to the wrong tree, but to the wrong forest. :lol:

It's all a fair point and this was IvanK's post:

"We all know something is up inside 1C with respect to CLOD and the planned Moscow/Stalingrad sequels.... which I believe have been cancelled. I base that on hard information provided to me by trusted independent sources. These same sources also say that an "arrangement " has been made between 1C and 777 studios. Exactly what this arrangement is not clear. I say not clear because a third credible source provides a slightly different story.

Two options have been suggested. The first a new WWII Sim based on the ROF engine with unique new content. In this case all models and content from the Moscow/Stalingrad sequels will be trashed. The second suggestion is the porting of 3D models etc from the cancelled Moscow/Stalingrad sequels into the ROF engine to be part of the new 1C/777/ROF WWII Sim.

Foobs touched on all this in his Blog not so long ago. Many have lambasted Foobs scoop as garbage however it does actually closely agree with the info I have received from trusted knowledgeable sources.

So what is the TRUE situation ? the community are enjoying the current "Final" release patch of CLOD. It shows the awesome potential that CLOD has to offer. There is still work to be done however. The community anticipation is that improvements that will come with the sequels will flow through to CLOD. Of course if the sequels have been cancelled (which I believe to be the case) then what we have is it !

So 1C please tell the community what the True situation is. At present the community is in a Vacuum still awaiting that Official "sequel" announcement that was supposed to have been be made a couple of months ago."

All these threads are pure speculation, so let's speculate?
