Well nice to see them expand platforms for the franchise as it has a chance to be a pretty big platformer.

But it's simply irresponsible to state that when something YOU release isn't YOUR fault why it doesn't do well but it is always someone else's flop. These publishers need to get over themselves and learn that this is a sales market. You release the product and you guarantee its success or failure. Too much lately we've been hearing them making excuses of it's the userbase or the economy or whatever. Those factors do play in, but by not knowing that they have no one to blame but themselves. Guess no one else finds it rude and disrespectful to the owners of a system that are constantly getting blamed for THEIR failures.

Yeah, it's very irresponsible, and I would say immature, to blame others for your failure. People blaming their customers will never get any respect points from me.

Its starting to appear that no Wii third party title is safe. THQ must have been busy with Arc and Natal to make it multiplat. E3 can't come fast enough.

"Deadly Creatures was a fun experience. Critically well-reviewed. "

Hahahahahahahahahaha.

No, just no.

It hit as low as 4/10.

De Blob had an amazing art style, I'd like to see it translate onto an HD console

Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

Translation: another developer who did nothing much on the Wii is complaining that his lack of effort didn't succeed because of the customer base. And yet another quality interview by Matt whatshisname from IGN that shows his clear lack of agenda and his strong sense of professional journalism by asking fearless questions like "Why didn't you try to advertise Deadly Creatures" and "Do you seriously think Deadly Creatures would have been a success on the HD consoles, or would even have broken even?" !!! Way to go Matt !!! .... Oh wait, he didn't.

Guy is way better then the activision guy, but still shouldn't they really port deadly creatures to the HD twins since the wii was the games only problem?

Yeah, that should be the logical choice. Unless he's lying.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Pixel Art can be fun.

ugh. Cry me a river. People who are saying THQ didn't try with their titles are just bitching for no reason. There were a lot of advertisements for de Blob and it was pretty hyped as well. It outsold the Nintendo first party effort that came out the exact day that de Blob came out.

I don't see a lot of whining about de Blob. Deadly Creatures is a different story though.

 

@SmokedHostage

It's ok, men can cry to! Just make sure no one sees you.

He unlike others was not making excuses at all, he made it clear that the market for the HD is different than that of the Wii and promise to bring games that matches that audience which only Ubisoft and sometimes EA understands.
