No sequel?

Why isn't Introversion making a sequel to Uplink?
Well, let's take a look at Uplink. It came out and was generally proclaimed to be original and good and all that nice stuff. Basically, it rocks!
Now, when a game, book, or movie comes out and is a huge success, the sequel generally fails to complete it.
Even it does complete it, it is a huge task. Look at The Terminator, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and especially The Matrix.
That's why I think that Introversion is not going to make a sequel, it simply cannot be done adequately.
Your thoughts?

Well they aren't making a sequel as they are working on <the next game> and <the next next game>.
Now they are keeping what they both are under wraps, so maybe one of them is a sequel.
But Chris said no to a sequel so that would appear to be the end of it. But Uplink is original, so keeping it that way is better. Uplink 2, would have to be pretty damn spectacular to keep up to how Uplink was viewed. But that's jus tmy opinion.

Good point, hackerboy. If Introversion will release a sequel to Uplink, there is a small chance that they will mess it up. I am not saying that Introversion cannot repeat the succes of Uplink, but if they mess it up, lots of hardcore players will be really upset.
I think it's better just to keep on releasing some new patches and just improve the game thru these patches.
Any comments, hackers?

You could create a LAN for the company. The game will then create a new corporation depending on the name of the LAN.
For example, I created a LAN called I created a LAN called Local Area Network. The game will create a new corporation including the Internal Services Machine, Public Server or Access Terminal or Bank since there is only a limited amount of them.
All you need to do is to create a LAN called NASA Local Area Network. A NASA Public Access Server, NASA Internal Services Machine, NASA Access Terminal, NASA International Bank will then be created. The Access Terminal and Bank may not be avaliable.
Conclusion: You do not need a Developer CD to do this. Just follow the LAN guide or use the LAN Creator. Unless you are talking about a new storyline or some special event like the Mole mission, it will be a different thing.
Edit: Second Conclusion:
You can do this by yourself.

I did defeat Epyon, on Hard Mode but I used up lots of continues.
tominb: Of course they can make a sequel if they want to. But they don't. Chris, the lead programmer, the person who helped for Introversion Software, and who coded Uplink while in Uni, has categorically stated that there will be no Uplink sequel. So I think we can assume that there will be none until they decide otherwise.
For now IV are working on some different games, original games, that they would like viewed in the same way Uplink was. New, different, not done before.

But would graphics such as that really improve the game Charlesc83? Just being able to walk around your office or check a journal or calender seems rather useless, and would be a waste of memory and programming as it really would not affect gameplay.
That being said it is a matter of opinion if it would improve gameplay.
