Brütal Legend Dev Counter-Sues Activision
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Lots and lots of WoW money, and they want more, but really good for Double Fine, I cant wait to play this game!GodsOneMistake said:
If Molyneux actually changes his toon and not only lets his ego, but releases a fully realised game void of cliche, the world will end, plain and simple...HardRockSamurai said:
And Activision, slow down on the crack, grow up just a bit, and leave one of the best fall releases alone dammit!
Yeah, next time we look Valve will be pumping out third-person movie adaptations every Thursday and Blizzard will be making sports gamesHardRockSamurai said:
Agreed, I really don't think this game will live up to Pyschonauts standards, or any other of his games. I'm just not hot with the whole metal thing... the style just seems pretty restrictive in terms of imagination and originality. Of course, I could be fatally wrong, but this game still seems a deprature from the sheer wackiness of Schafer's previous games.romitelli said:
Also, your avatar is brilliant.
Go Double Fine ^o^
I don't know what sticks are up Activision's ass, but they must be pretty big, fat, rotting ones. They passed on Brutal the first time. They also dropped Ghostbusters along with a few other great titles, all because they "didn't see potential for yearly releases." Well, no shit. Something that doesn't suck doesn't come out every year. Look where Madden is, and where Guitar Hero is going.
I hope Double Fine wins... and I hope it does give Guitar Hero a run for its money. Then they might actually put some thought into #6 (since #5 has already been announced and is basically just giving you all the freaking songs instead of making you fight for them ~.~) instead of rehashing the same bloody game, changing the songs, and tweaking a few settings >.> And I used to like GH, until it sold out... Now its just ripping off Rock Band.
Also, last I checked, Tim Shaffer did the story, created the properties, and *cough*DEVELOPED*cough* the game, not Activision. So in this case, Activision is being the whiny little *****.

*ahem* Have you noticed that Yahtzee doesn't like much in the first place? That pretty much speaks volumes right there.Triforceformer said:
Actually Activision decided to drop the game during the Activision Blizzard Merger because they said they wouldnt be able to franchize-ize it, as in turn out a sequel every 9 months.Kwil said:
So no, Activision are not justified, they dropped it, EA picked it up, and now that EA are doing well for themselves with it, Activision are throwing the toys out of the pram.
They officially reached that point when the head of UFC told them to get lost (you can read the news article somewhere on this website.) They treated him like crap and then wanted to snake his hard-earned profits away.Onmi said:

Consumer [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/psychonauts?q=psychonauts] idiocy [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbx/psychonauts?q=psychonauts] is no fault of the game [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/psychonauts?q=psychonauts] designers.Fumbles said:
Reaching an 85-90% ranking on Metacritic across three platforms shows it to be a top contender amongst games. Beyond Good and Evil [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/psychonauts?q=psychonauts] suffered from lower sales than it should have got and that got 80-90% ratings as well.
Just because it doesn't sell doesn't mean it's a good game; conversely a best selling title does not constitute a good game either. Equally, a best selling title is by no means automatically not a good game and a poorly selling title is not automatically an impressive title in and of itself.
Judge a game on its own qualities, not on how well it sold. I would have thought such a concept would be obvious to everyone.
i remember when game companys made games because thay wanted to and dident act like the mafia but with out the pigs head in your bed
