I guess Amazon either sees something in these guys or else just bagged a nice bargain in them and hopes they can turn them around.


Damn, when you look at it that way, DH is really a mediocre studio at best..

They did make Front Mission Evolved and Silent Hill Homecoming which were pretty cool games, but yeah they've been caught up in a sea of movie tie ins for the past couple of years.

lol they bought a small team with an ok track record. No reason to expect them to go after much larger publishers and dev teams.

They were the devs for the new Strider game I believe. This may explain why there hasn't been any news on it in quite awhile.

I agree, its a bit misleading because of the movie tie-ins. And the tie ins are on multiple platforms thus adding even more negative/mixed reviews for every IP.

Honestly aside from the tie ins....... between KI, SH and FME I think they have a pretty solid track record.

That's a well timed announcement from Capcom. I missed that, thanks for the link.

Wow, this is certainly interesting. I guess they are serious about their own console. Let me guess, the 'Kindal Play?'

Can the industry support 5 consoles plus PC?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
