Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
I don't follow gaming studio news unless I read an article here and there, but was Lucasarts a money pit towards the end here? I thought with Disney's backing we might get Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max PSN/XBLA ports, at the least. Huh?abdominalpillaging wrote:Knew it was coming, but LucasArts basically shut down, Star Wars 1313 cancelled as well as that FPS they were developing, and pretty significant layoffs. End of an era.

I'm pretty sure they were profitable, or close to it. The force unleashed games seemed to well sales wise. Disney just doesn't want any internal development. They're turning LucasArts to a publisher ala Activision that is going to license out their ip to other developers. So were still going to get Star Wars games from external devs, but it's up to them what they license out and to whom. Disney seems to hate game development from the looks of it.The Bill wrote:I don't follow gaming studio news unless I read an article here and there, but was Lucasarts a money pit towards the end here?

Yeah, I guess it's like some realty company buying a skyscraper but removing the food court from it because they've never dealt, nor want to involve themselves with that sort of business. But they rent out space in front to a hot dog vendor.abdominalpillaging wrote:I'm pretty sure they were profitable, or close to it. The force unleashed games seemed to well sales wise.

Well maybe that's because the little bit of money they make off the hot dog vendors rent it worth more to them than the time and effort put into running their own.

4 is really fun, no doubt. I think it's funner than Dracula X, thought not quite as difficult. But I feel like 1 and 3 on the NES are better, more pure experiences.

A lot of people didn't like the MK9 demo, but that game turned out good. It'll most likely be the same here.

Super Castelvania IV is my favorite because they tightened up the controls and removed a lot of cheap stuff from the originals. Medusa Heads, Igors, and bird things are minimal.Friendly Goatus wrote: 4 is really fun, no doubt. I think it's funner than Dracula X, thought not quite as difficult.

There's room for one more.DR. THRAXX wrote: I'm still going to be a The Bill and buy it day one...
Speaking of, looks like I'm getting a bunch more Amazon credit rolling my way, so what to pre-order now? How about that Deadpool game? 360 version of Watch Dogs? Resident Evil: Renovations... Retaliation... Revolutions... Whatever? Not getting that game with Juno in it till I force myself to play Heavy Rain one of these days.
I beat Bioshock: Infinite tonight, so a new lottery for Fridays game begins again. I'm thinking Metro 2033. Hopefully they patched it.

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
Oh man, that looks great too. Thats fucking awesome that the game is pretty much finished and all they're kickstarting for is to hire a secondary team to fill the game with more content. Seems like that means it'll be released sooner than the others.Wang Mandu wrote:Wasteland 2 and Divine Divinity: Original Sin too!

Re: The Bill's Now Playing Video Game Thread (Now with Bames
Yeah, I like that too instead of funding the start of the game like everything else. It is a great studio too and their last game Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga was good but kind of rough in the animations and 3D worldspace. The writing was really good and it had some clever sidequests and dialogue. Not sure if I can back that one as I already pledged $50 to the Torment one but will purchase it on release.
