>No EA

This is the best thing to come out of these dark times.

Huh. Sega with Relic? I like it, considering Sega has TW under its belt. Still, rip in piece THQ

>>172891814

The reason THQ went under is because of WWE.

They paid too much for the license compared to what they were getting from the WWE games and wound up in some serious debt.

I'm genuinely surprised EA didn't actually buy anything

I was expecting them to pick at these things like crazy

Did they even bid on anything?

>>172892485
nope.

i don't even know if they were there or not

>>172892460

Source? The general consensus was that It was UDraw along with most other games flopping.

>>172892249
THQ was a shit company with shit management

>>172892485
No but Zenimax almost got Relic. SEGA beat them by 300k

It was that, the uDraw and the millions they used to marketing Homefront

Wasn't Double Fine in to buy something too?

Crytek was going to develop Homefront 2 to begin with.

>>172893309

But they already started making 4 new games

>>172893054
I can only hope the shitlords in charge of Dead Island stay way the fuck away from Metro and Koch acts only as a publisher, then tries to get involved some more with STALKER concepts in a third metro

>>172893161
well heres the thing, won't these 2 series end up cannibalizing themselves?

I hope they don't end up combining elements from each game into themselves.I also don't think they could release the games as often. I will feel a bit like call of duty.

Please help me feel better about this

>>172893642
Eh not really.

Total War doesn't play like Dawn of War and vice versa.

>>172893563
>>172893054

since when Deep Silver made Stalker?

>>172893850
They publish STALKER.

Now they own the license and the devs get to make games for them.

What about Saints Row?

According to /wooo/, 2k got their hands on the WWE license.

>>172894043
Kosh Media got it too.

>>172894187

>>172893642
> won't these 2 series end up cannibalizing themselves

No.
In fact, they compliment each other.

40k is set in the future and is well suited to squad based units.
Meanwhile, Warhammer Fantasy is set in the past and is well suited to regiment based units.

CA and Relic are the men for the job.
We might even see Battlefleet Gothic (the closest we'll ever get to a Homeworld sequel)

>>172894162
>>172894352
Nice.

>>172894164
I have no idea what that means though. I can't recognize anything they have made. I don't know how to google

I surely hope they can improve on Saints Row and not continue down the path Saints Row the Third started

>>172894458
Koch Media owns Deep Silver, makes of Dead Island.

>>172894557
Fuck

>Koch Media agreed to purchase Volition and Metro

they purchase the rights to publish Metro. they don't own Metro.

my worse nightmare came true today.i was wishing EA didn't get the rights for Metro. now Koch Media owns it.

Koch Media only has Deep Silver aka the people that made Dead Island. they also just make shovelware all the time.

why didn't Crytek buy it !!! or Ubisoft !!!.
fucking Ubisoft went straight for THQ montreal like everyone said they were. they wanted the project AC creator was working on.

I agree that Link should always remain the straight man but, imagine a Zelda game where everyone and everything is cuh-rayze but him.

But Zelda games aren't meant to be high intensity action... Even if it were just the enemies.
I'd let Platinum do any other Nintendo franchise, just not Zelda or Mario proper.

It's kind of been hard for me to look at them in positive light in a while, but honestly I don't like the AC games as much. I want Splinter Cell or something else by Tom Clancy that isn't casualized, so I'm still shit outta luck. Gears of Ghost Recon didn't sate my thirst.

You guys know that the story of Homefront is written by the guy who wrote the original Red Dawn right? That and, North Korea was probably chosen because it would cause the least international ruckus.

If they chose China, China would be mad. It's the same reason they changed the Red Dawn remake's villains from Chinese to Best Koreans.

>>172895820
>But Zelda games aren't meant to be high intensity action

It's a fairly stagnant series that's gotten a bit too casual at this point.
Though the Platinum gameplay style wouldn't suit a main series game, it could be cool in a spin-off title.
But mostly I just want a Zelda game that's more in the spirit of the original, that doesn't hold your hand and lets you explore a hostile wasteland on your own terms.

>>172895407
Horrible DRM
Rehashing AC for so long now, new games are just retarded gameplay wise
Splinter Cell. This alone should convince you.

>>172896787
let china be mad. if it got into the news it would create a huge amount of free PR.

The only people you cant get mad are the terrorists if you are dutch. Otherwise it just gets you on talk shows and makes you money. Homeland and Red Dawn would have been sick with Chinese invasions

>>172896978
WWE was brought by 2k.

>>172896787
The problem is that Best Korea invading USA is dumb, dumb as fucking hell.

Original red Dawn actually has a slight sense of plausibility.

>>172896996

>complain about AC being rehashed
>complain about SC not being rehashed

muh double standards

>>172897136
Both are being dumbed-down, basically.

AC1 was hard, AC2 was easy, AC3 was even easier.

>>172896787
When Red Dawn came out, the USSR was still in existence and Reagan himself called it an Evil Empire. I'm pretty sure a videogame wouldn't spark any real tensions between countries; that'd just be silly.

>>172897112
Actually, Best Korea invading isn't the problem.

The problem is that Homefront was boring.
Flat out boring.
They dangled Red Dawn in front of us and talked about "guerrilla warfare," but gave us a shitty CoD clone.

Few were tricked by the ruse.
Homefront was a failure at a fundamental level. It wasn't interesting and nothing about it made you want to play it.

>>172897136
>complain about SC not being rehashed
hurrrr

>>172897573
It wasn't even a CoD clone tbh if they had worked a little harder on the graphics and polished the game a little it could have been great.

>>172897573
Meh, I would buy if it has something to tell.

Best Korea invasion is just so out there it makes the whole premise of the game falls apart, and they actually take the invasion seriously and not a joke.
