Poor United Front Games. Got only their second game canned. Oh well. Maybe Sony will buy them :D

After how MNR sold, I can't really see this happening.


It was also released in mid-summer, which is like the worst launch time possible. Not to mention no advertising at all. It has pretty good legs though, still selling. I don't think they are that disappointed TBH.

It was early summer, and it had a print/viral campaign.  It was also tagged with the "Play Create Share" brand that LBP has... I think if Sony had been interested in UFG, they'd have snapped them up by now.  Media Molecule was bought pretty quick.

People complain that companies milk sequels...then the say "guitar hero killed" because its missing a year. Make up your mind people!

Just cause its missing 1 year release doesn't mean its killed.

500 people are losing their jobs.  Sounds dead to me.

I thought this thread would be a lot bigger for some reason.

i actually liked DJ Hero, but this needed to happen, people, "casual" and core alike were getting tired of putting down money on a 50 to 60 dollar disc and the instrument 2 times a year to keep up with GH, that crap was stupid. WHat should have happen is one disc and just keep adding on DLC songs. Only make a new game if there were actually legitimate changes to gameply (IE from GH3 to World Tour)

So, Guitar Hero, DJ Hero, True Crime are gone. Spyro and Crash are not worth even mentioning, and I think they've given up on them too. Singularity, Wolfenstein and Blur flopped hard, putting them off new IP. Their crappy movie games don't sell too great, Transformers, Spiderman, Bond, Clash of Titans ... Tony Hawk sells like crap ..

All they have left is Call of Duty, Blizzard, Bungie game and Prototype .....

Can't believe Bobby said there are no decent indepenent studios out there except Bungie ... they're in NO position to talk about quality.

Ahh so much truth to this post.

VV is only losing 50 people of the 500.   I think GH is more likely just taking a year off...

I hope CoD doesn't take long  too.

 

If Call of Duty goes the way of Guitar Hero, what will be left with Activision?  Will they need to change their name to Blizzard?  I personally don't know what else I need in a Call of Duty title now.  I have special ops with MW2, and Bots and zombies with black ops.  Hard pressed to think what else Call of Duty needs to add.

One step back for casual gaming, one step forward for hardcore gaming.

Soon it will be Call of Duty that gets dropped

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
