Grin Goes Under

[matnatz]

I love the logo, reminds me of the Cheshire cat.

Hey, you've been here since 07, so that means you were here when the 'cake is a lie' phase swept over these forums.

Which was basically my point . The only time any large company will take chances is when that chance is bundled with what their investors considers a done deal.

Aha, I see! Your mind is quick, and cunning like a fox. Mine is inert, and comatose, like someone who is awake at 5am and should go to bed.

I promise you this. If you think that my mind is any of those things, you haven't known me long enough .

But thanks regardless.

Hey, I'm pretty tired. At this point I'd tell you that Bobby Kotick is the best thing to hit gaming since John Romero. ;¬D

This gen is too costly. R.I.P.:

Free Radical

GRIN Studios

3D Realms (DNF Team)

List Pending.

i think the amount that died in the last gen was a lot bigger, this happens all the time with development studios

as for 3drealms and their demise, that was more of a several generations ago, they took well over 12 years to make one bloody game

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Grin does SOO MUUCH stuff! 3 kinda bad games (well, ok Terminator was atrocious) is all it took to bring them down?

 

[Raptoricus]

Well, after the downturn in quality of games later on in the studios portfolio, I think it's not a bad thing, especially as some of the company has split and formed a seperate one, and the resume of the lead programmer guy was pretty impressive.

 

[KDR_11k]

So is that why they didn't just let themselves be "bought out"? They figured it would be better to file for bankruptcy and start anew?

Maybe noone wanted to buy them?

 

[Xvito]

A tear shed for the lost.

Now I'm going to sing Sweden's National Anthem. *Starts singing* *Realizes that he's not very good* *stops singing* *:-(*

Their grin is now a sigh.

They also took eleven years to make Prey. Yeah.

This kind of sucks. I have only played 2 of there games, but I did love how they handled the mechanics of shooters. I still enjoy Wanted, and Bionic Commando was entertaining for the 4 hours it took to beat the campaign.
It kind of makes me think though. When I got those games (At separate times) they were both during special sales at Game Stop for $20

 

[Jaebird]

I have a theory: Grin = bad games; Outbreak Studios = possible better games. And lets hope they don't slap they're new logo on things that make them look ultimately less intimidating, and slightly creepy.

 

[Markness]

Well I'm glad to see that the movie games preformed badly. Now maybe developers will think twice before making a shitty movie cash-in. I don't really know Grin as a company before now.

 

[SMOKEMNHALO2001]

Admittedly Wanted sucked, but I still liked the company for making it cool and not just some crappy cash-in game, that showed they actually care about licensed games (and no I did not plat the Terminator game.)
Good-bye Grin....Hello Outbreak Studios
