Sega owns Creative Assembly, the Total War developers. Who have only really made two duds, with Empire and Napoleon.Quiotu said:
Bankruptcy Auction Ends THQ

Vigil is out of business? Damn, harsh, the Darksiders games were alright.
A Homefront sequel by Crytek. So EA can have another Call of Duty clone. Neat-o.
Ubisoft now has South Park? So I guess this means a shit PC port, then.
And Koch bought the Saints Row guys? Heh, can't wait for the shirtless Johnny Gat Statue. Wait, I would... actually buy that. Never mind.

I found that Empire was a major step down from the godly Kingdoms expansion, which I hold up as the most complete total war game ever. Empire isn't a bad game, but I felt it was lacking compared to the other titles.RicoADF said:
I know Sega publish RTS games, so I can see why they would grab Relic. Definitely far better than going to EA for sure. Games Workshop should have bought them I think, sure they have never published video games before but nearly every game Relic has made has been PC only. Publishing via Steam wouldn't need a supply chain and then Relic could have kept pumping out games for them, hell GW might have even made a Company of Heroes TT game.SkarKrow said:
I suppose I can qualify the statement and say that they ruined any IP they created that I liked. Never got into Total War, as I'm to busy to get into any RTS or TBS games anymore, but I have a few friends who gush over the series. Relic might be Sega's second acquired studio that makes them decent games if they play their cards right.Soviet Heavy said:
Sorry but in recent memory I know Sega as being responsible for ruining the Valkyria Chronicles IP and backstabbing Alpha Protocol before it was even released. Maybe if Sega of America can start helping themselves out and be allowed to make IPs less Japan-centric, I might start being optimistic again.
this makes me sad :/ no more Darksiders, but least Relic got a good home, unlike the South Park IP license, not sure if i should laugh or not, but then I dislike South Park *shrugs*
Ok,ok hold on a sec...
*breathing heavily*
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE NEXT SAINTS ROW?!
AND ALSO COMPANY OF HEROES?!
I swear, if I hear it's cancelled or 'postponed indefinitely' I will find them and fight them on the side of the street!
Damn stupid THQ couldn't hold on a bit longer. These two game alone would have got them out of debt.

It will all be worth it if they make a Valkyria Chronicles style 40K game.Soviet Heavy said:
Does Koch Media have anything to do with the Koch Bros? That would suck for Saints Row.
Damn right. Fuck those guys at Sega who will just crap on Relic's talent. Why couldn't someone like Ubisoft buy Relic and for that matter why wasn't EA involved in scavenging the remains of what used to be a dead horse?Quiotu said:
My only concern was that Relic remain intact, at least structurally. The bad thing is they can't make another Homeworld game since Activision owns the rights to that IP through Vivendi. Can't say I've played most of anything else THQ has put out. I have to love for South Park, so not too bad for me. Ubisoft has been kind of cleaning up its DRM act as of late (though it still has a long way to go)
Relic with Sega?
I can only hope the WH40K license got tranferred with them too, I'm still waiting for Dawn of War 3.
