It's Activision. How many chances would you see to have them working on what are generally perceived as niches with low profit margins just to please nostalgic gamers?

Why did Activison put a Sierra website up?

I still remember seeing that logo on Half-Life when I first purchased it.

Oh man, if this is a sign of a revival of Sierra/Vivendi Games, HNNNNG!!!
They were awesome IMO during last gen before they were eaten so to speak, they actually gave a shit about Crash and Spyro.

There is like a 0% chance this isn't a nefarious F2P iOS game right?
I want to get excited about the prospects of new Sierra stuff in 2014 but its still Activision. Best to temper that hype I guess.

Bunch of old Sierra games coming to iOS would be my guess.

Eh? Are you for real?
What makes you think those games you just mentioned, beside being flops, were "niche genres" to any degree?
You listed third person action games, shooters, racing games.
Eh, beaten you to that prediction:

Half Life 3!
FWIW, Hi Rez pulled the plug on the servers. It could be that they sold the IP.

It's not to announce a King's Quest series co-developed by Telltale, that's for sure.

Thread is making me feel really old.
Get off my lawn, new Sierra logo.

New Quest for Glory series, c'mon!
In the original QfG using text input to ask questions and figuring out what to do next, or who to talk to was amazing, their responses and learning about the world and people. Then there was climbing trees over and over to level up climbing(which actually mattered), throwing knives at the targets to level up throwing, joining one of the guilds, most notably the thieves guild was so memorable. Drinking Dragon's Breath... always a great idea! And the combat was fun and well done. The game had so much humor and many memorable characters. If they could figure out a way to make the game work again without betraying the core mechanics, I would be all over that.

Whatever happens, I want the DOS versions of Thexder, Slipheed, WiBARM, Zeliard, Fire Hawk, and Sorcerian to go up on GOG. I suspect Activision still holds the rights to these conversions, which is a bummer. Square-Enix is unlikely to bring Thexder Neo to DD and CD Projekt would have to fly through hoops to get untranslated emulated versions of the Japanese originals working.
I like the logo. when's Crash

Would be interested if it's some sort of return to form, especially in the RPGish Q4G fashion. Point and clicks/similar have certainly had a bit of a renaissance.
My man.
Edit: Earthsiege...that's a name I've not heard in a damn long time. Man, what happened Sierra. What happened.
