Activision Blizzard has apparently stumbled across the rights to the Redneck Rampage games, though a new title is unlikely.

 

"My feet stink, my head hurts and I don't luuuuuurve Jesus"

 

Any game featuring the song 'Hey baby I got a pig' on the sound track deserves sequels. Many sequels. And maybe a tractor pull bonus stage.

 

I loved that game it was so fun multiplayer. I figured VU killed the series when they bought it over an indie developer.

 

They probably spent the $300,000 as a mercy kill.

 

Redneck rampage is a lame game. Stupid as postal. They could invest their money in something more interesting... Perhaps a remake of "pac-man" wich btw will turn 30 next year

 

Yeah, because there aren't enough remakes of pac-man in existence already...

 

"Easily forgotten"? No way! It was an instant classic. Which other game has the distinction of letting you progress in the game by requiring you to hit Bubba over the head with a crowbar.

As for Postal, I've never played the original, but Postal 2 (with or without the Share the Pain patch) was an instant classic too. Politically correct it is not, but I'd say that's what made it a classic.

Back on topic, I'd be really surprised if Blizzard would work on a sequel. Have they ever done anything FPS-like? But if you ask in the context of Activision Blizzard, then perhaps it is possible.
