Sign Petition for Pandemonium 3Edit

Pandemonium. A PlayStation and Sega Saturn classic. A game I’ll keep coming back to, month after month for the insane gameplay, the beautiful locations and comic humour. Not bad for a game created 14 years ago!

It got me thinking that to recreate this game or the atmosphere of a great Pandemonium game in current-generation graphics would surely be something more feasible now, more than ever before.

The market is definitely out there for a third instalment of the Pandemonium franchise. Whereas a few years back making a 2.5D platformer for the PS2, Gamecube or Xbox would have suffered in sales - the introduction of Xbox Live and Playstation Network has changed this greatly.

Simplistic games that may seem outdated compared to the latest in gaming, fare well in PSN and Xbox marketplaces as nice little games to pass the time.

Creating a third instalment or recreating the original Pandemonium in current-gen splendour would surely make my year, if not decade. But the question is, what would it do for you?

Having recently contacted ToysForBob, the developers behind Pandemonium 1 & 2 regarding the subject, they were optimistic about a third instalment one day! The snag however was that they weren’t sure if Crystal Dynamics (the publishers), who were bought by Eidos, who have now been bought by Square Enix would allow devlopment of such a game.

Perhaps if Square Enix see the demand for a third game to finish off a worthy trilogy, they’ll give the rights to ToysForBob, or another worthy developer of late, for a third game to be made in our beloved series!

Its worth a shot. ;)
