 The sad truth is that a new Clock Tower game will never be produced unless there is a public interest for it. Not just a couple hundred internet fans - the GENERAL public has to be willing to shell out $50-60 on a new game in order for them to even THINK about producing another. I've seen Clock Tower 3 called a "financial failure" on more than one occasion, and it sold at least a couple hundred thousand copies.

The only other way would be for a smaller company (smaller than Capcom) to *somehow* receive the rights to the game. Because in that regard, even if the game didn't sell all THAT well, it'll be easier for them to make a profit because 1) they wouldn't be spending all that much money on producing the game to begin with and 2) they probably wouldn't be manufacturing as many copies, learning from the previous releases... BUT - how stupid would Capcom be to sell the rights to Clock Tower? The series has potential to be better than the last two games, and they know that. So if THEY'RE not going to spend millions developing another title in the series, then why on earth would they give the series to another company? It would be too big of a risk on the off chance that another company would do better with the series than they did and it would only create competition for their own horror games in the long run. They're smarter (from a business standpoint) to sit on the series until they *feel* like releasing another game, if that ever happens.

The BEST chance for another Clock Tower game (and I say this in all seriousness) is the movie. If the movie turns out to be good and does decent at the box office, then maybe interest will return to the series, demand for another game will increase, and MAYBE we'll see another game. And Capcom HAS to know this as well - otherwise why would Haruhiro Tsujimoto be attached to the project?
