Mana Games

[Hele.]

Hello

I haven't been here for a while, with those winter days a bit off to tennis. When I was around here I have noticed totally new project of Mana games - Dungeon Guardians which really looks amazing. Congratulations! As it is totally something new and unexpected I was pleasantly surprised to see it. I immediately came up to mind to suggest topic for some new projects maybe. As fan of winter and especially alpine skiing, I have used to play alpine skiing games before. Those days wanted to renew playing them but was so negatively shocked when discovered that last game for PC for Alpine Skiing was in 2007. It is Bode Miller Alpine Skiing 2007. Previously in 2006, was another great alpine skiing pc game - Ski Racing 2006 (featuring Herman Maier). Difference between those games is that Ski Racing was more complete in terms of disciplines, locations (tracks were identical and authentic as in reality, they used some GPS data system), races, more realistic world cup data while advantage of 2007 version was that it had more realistic game-style but everything other was drawback.
Basically, soon it will be almost decade since those games were announced. I know a lot of ski fans that would like to play some new ski racing games and it is really sure - market is desperate for it! To be honest, there is some bad alternative ORF Ski Challenge. But while both (Alpine Ski Racings 2006, 2007) offer full mode of playing full World Cup and to enjoy all disciplines (downhill, slalom, giant slalom, super-g and in 2006 version even combination), ORF Ski Challenge just allow to play downhill and is based online. So, maybe...somewhere in future this could be new project of Mana games as there is really big interest by winter and alpine skiing game fans (especially in Austria, Germany, France and Italy) in whole Europe and rest of the world, but unfortunately there are not indications some studio is going to make this game.
(I know that maybe there are not high chances that manutoo will do it because I know he is busy but after all planned projects regarding tennis (and maybe some other games) are realized, why not?) At least I tried with suggestion.

p.s. Maybe some other members also will have some cool suggestions for new games.

I am a console gamer and a tennis fan for twenty years almost. Anxiously waiting some good tennis game to play on my ps4 pro. Heard loads of good about this tennis elbow but after reading the blogs my optimism has diminished i mean another 4 years for it to be on the ps4 meaning it ill launch after ps5 will be on the scene. Cant you please somehow release the tennis elbow 2013 game on psn store and xbox store. As an indie sport title atleast meet up with those people and offer them your game i am sure it ill sell and inturn make people more excited for the 4th game. I for one will buy it on launch something is better than nothing:-(

Hassan,
the official announcement is that the release on consoles would be in 3 years.

Actually, if things go well, it could be before, but I still have not enough knowledge on the porting process to promise anything.

TE2013 uses an old engine that would be very hard to port on consoles and it would require a long time which would delay even more the release of TE4. Moreover, let's face it, TE2013 menu visual quality is awful by today's standards, and 3D tech is 15 years old, so it'd push away many people from the TE franchise and it wouldn't be a great warm-up for TE4 release...
