Rich? They would've made no money at all. Action-RPG != Money, and console game != money ESPECIALLY. I mean, come on, if that strategy worked think of how much money Interplay would be rolling in right now.
Well, no duh. I played the game because it had a great combat system and interesting base management and such, not because I wanted to be the Chosen One and collect the Four Orbs of Planetshatter and then defeat the Alien Horde. Like Rosh said, in some games (Like Adventure games) story does...
Eh, what the hell, might as well join in.

Played a bit of the older version of the game, isn't much. Shitty interface, wacky controls, very slow and uninteresting combat. There's a lot more to fix than just the graphics.
