Is Feargus Buying anything in the Acclaim "sale"

I was looking at that list today and I was wondering why noone had picked up the Bard's Tale International IP..

Oddly enough that one caught my eye too.

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.

It's like watching my childhood being auctioned...

Wait, what does publishing the rights to a game actually mean? Do they just get the rights to republish the game, or the right to use the name to publish an entirely new game, or what?

 

I'm just wondering what a Hentai game company would be able to do with the rights to "Mary Kate & Ashley Magical Mystery Mall". :)

Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

I wonder how much some of those useless rights go for. Like Batman Forever.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

I've got some cash lying around and I'm tempted to put up a bid for Double Dragon.

Watching them burn makes me very very happy :p

I hope Hades or Volourn get here before all the WWF titles are gone

People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

Why would anyone bid on games that other companies have already continued? (Burnout, Narc, Simpsons)

 

Wizards and Warriors was a smart pickup.

What if I wanted to kill the other bounty hunters but still have the Twi'leks chase me?

*Sigh*

 

Fond memories of Re-Volt tournaments... not to mention Bubble Bobble :p

I saw a version of Bubble Bobble recently. It was on one of the Nintendo hadhelds but I dont remember which one. There only two so you have a 50/50 chance.

It depends if its an IP or a franchise. If its an IP then the publishers usually owns EVERYTHING, from the doodles of the koncept artists to the patented "technology X" engine and every idea the designers put on paper during development. ( yes, the dev studio basicly sell their souls to the publisher )

 

If its a franchise then they own everything except that which is part of the license that they bought which is still the property of Warner Bros. if its a Matrix game and so on

If there is no clear indication, asume the post is written in jest. This notification is meant very seriously and its purpouse is to avoid misunderstandings and the consequences thereof. Furthermore; I can not be held accountable for anything I write on these forums since the idea of taking serious responsability for my unserious actions, is an oxymoron in itself.

At times I think you are more dark and morbid than myself. :)

Hopefully a good company will buy Mortal Combat.

Bioware should buy Mortal Kombat, then replace all the characters with Bioware characters so they can face each other in fierce combat!

 

Minsc and Boo versus Darth Malak!

 

Fatality! Boo Wins!

Bastila vs Jaheira. Flawless victory Bastila wins!

Jaheira has some of the best in game quotes :)

Doesn't Midway already own rights to publish new Mortal Kombat games?

 

Nevermind that though.

 

The high bid on Bust-A-Freaking-Move is low enough at one time I could have boughten it!

 

*sob*

Jaheira has some of the best in game quotes :)

I disliked Jaheira. Too manly for my tastes.

You know, I have always thought there was something weird with Jaheira and Khalid. Khalid came off as some gay guy who was still in the closet while jaheira was a "butch" lesbian. It was just very very odd yet not. :)

She was "doing" him. :)

I think Bubble Bobble came with Taito Legends on my Playstation 2. I wonder what Acclaim are selling, really :)
