Wait... seriously? Not to be a negative nanny here, but isn't it quite obvious what the results of this poll are going to be like?

Yeah, I agree. Having TfB make an "SC4" would effectively legimitize SC3 and make it canon. And I'll have none of that thank you. So I voted no, in the hopes that TfB will one day make a true sequel to SC II rather than build off the whole SC3 story.

But I see some of you have voted yes. that's fine, if you think SC3 is a worthy successor to SC II that's your business. Traitors.

Dont worry Luki, we all hate SC3 just as much as you.  :D
And that's all I got to say about that.

So if you want a Star Control 4 it means it's got to be a direct sequel of SC3 automatically? I don't see it like that. It simply implies another Star Control game.

Poorly-defined poll is poorly-defined.

Which is why I chose the adult-diapers option.

Adult-diapers for me too please.  I'd love to see any new official SC release but... it all depends.

Yeah, these yes's may not mean "yes, and canon to 3." 

Unfortunately, since there's already a Star Control 3 in existence, it'd be a pain in the toochus to call it that and make sense to everyone who buys the wrong SC3 online.  "Gee, only $3?  Wow, this game still sucked for that price!"

I don't care what they call it or what's it canon to, but getting TFB to make another Star Control is like tilting at windmills, seems like they're stuck with making disney games for now until eternity.
The times of TFB making games I want to play have ended. It's up to blizzard and bioware now to entertain me ;).

Four generally comes after three, yes. Making a four implies that there is a three. In fact, it strongly suggests that number four was preceded in good order by number three, which is an accepted part of the sequence 1-2-3-4. If someone gets SC4, they will not wonder which the two other games in the series are.

Now if it was five and a Sierra game, that'd be another matter.

He's referring to Larry, of which 5 came after 3 ;).
