EA trademarks ancient classics, internet touches special place
EA’s applied for new trademarks for Populous, Theme Park, Wing Commander and Road Rash, as you can see on superannuation.
This has caused “the internet” to have a small paddy, and rightly so. Syndicate’s a little conspicuous by its absence though, isn’t it?
Worth noting that EA mentioned revitalising Bullfrog IP earlier this week.

Well, it’s nut unusual to renew old trademarks, isn’t it?

A tarted up Theme Park for XBLA would be sweet. Loved that game.

In my opinion, “Populous : The Beginning” was the worst of the series – by far!
I’d really much rather like something more consistent with the first two episodes.

“Protip – don’t google “road rash” with safe search turned off.”
… and like the little boy who reads the “Stay Off The Grass” sign, guess what I want to unsee

Syndicate is Starbreeze’s game. But that might be what you were alluding to.

if they release a new road rash in HD – SHIT WILL BE FUCKING WIN! Also, will wing commander be a shmup or another gay flight simulator? hmm. DO A SHMUP, EA!
