Forums - Gaming - Sadly another one bites the dust Krome Studios has closed down

MaxwellGT2000 on 19 October 2010

Saw it on IGN http://wii.ign.com/articles/112/1128470p1.html Krome closed its doors and it's yet another developer that has went down this gen, these guys actually put out some fun games, nothing that was AAA gold but anyone that played the PSP or Wii versions of Force Unleashed knows these guys can make something worthwhile, their version was in development for less than half the time the Lucas Arts product was in development for and still came out better in the end, but having a hit with that game wasn't enough to save them this gen.

I'm guessing their more recent titles are what did them in since nothing since Star Wars Lightsaber Duels on Wii has sold over a million copies, you have a couple that made it to 500k but everything else is below that.

If you want to check out their titles/sales you can check them out here http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/browse.php?name=&keyword=&console=&region=All&developer=Krome+Studios&publisher=&genre=&boxart=Both&results=50&order=Total+Sales

With the AUD gaining over the USD, Australia isn't the prefect "sweat shop" were big American Publishers use to send game production here, as it was cheap and very high quality. Now its all to India, EA has moved there and many are sending it to China and other Asian nations because its cheap. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Its sad when GOOD studios close. I'll dance on their grave I will!

I really hope something is done about that it really hurts things in the end, they gain a little more now only to lose in the end, businesses are using quick fixes rather than long term solutions but really that's how third parties have been acting this entire gen so why expect them to change now?

Blade Kitten is a fun game but you hates kittens >_<



I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure...
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...
