Beside from the fact that there was a Black&White 2 (which I didn't like much) , I think the reason B&W 'fails' is like of Maxy Payne's . Without incorporating a good multiplayer playing environment, these games are prone to 'quick consumption'.

Also for your question of why there are no more games likes these is simple, with these budgets, a game has to be designed for being sustainable. Even a legend like Simcity waited a decade to find its way again with a DLC and multiplayer based (terrible imo) gameplay.


Btw, what I don't like most about RTx type games is it being relatively fast pace , I mean fast for checking everything, I never liked idea of poor micromanagement. Not to mention terrible camera angles. I am a bit old-fashioned when it comes to 3D strategy.

I agree with you on the RTs kind of stuff about the new stuff coming out, for the Prime of RTS was age of empire 2. My dream RTS would be huge world similar to Civ 5 but played like a regular RTS, on slower pace. Still, i am going a bit offtopic here, I was more asking the God concept, and using multiplayer as one of the biggest focus on the game, since thats what it lacked the most for me, although in black and white that was dificult to pull of without turning it in a fast paced game. I think the game should be more autonomous in way that you don't really need to pay much attention to the small details, but you can if you want.


I think that managing to acomplish that and making the game fun would be difficult though.
