Morgoth Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Prepare for a dumbed down, I mean casual facebook game with anime graphics. To "broaden the audience", of course. Rain makes everything better.
Drowsy Emperor Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Prepare for a dumbed down, I mean casual facebook game with anime graphics. To "broaden the audience", of course. God I hope not. AC was a perfect game, the only thing it needs is a nice 3d graphical update. I can already see Morgan, Santiago and Miram rendered in CIV4's idiotic childish portraits. Its a nightmare. И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
Morgoth Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I just wonder who's supposed to be the developer? There are hardly any competent strategy game developers out there anymore, besides of Firaxis. Rain makes everything better.

There are hardly any competent strategy game developers out there anymore, besides of Firaxis. We still have no reason to believe that there will be a new AC. The first one didn't sell, that might keep the suits at bay. Although with the rampant necrophilia of the industry...

Bendu Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) I just wonder who's supposed to be the developer? There are hardly any competent strategy game developers out there anymore, besides of Firaxis. BioWare San Francisco? Soren Johnson is working there. He was the lead designer of Civ 4.

Malcador Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Well it shouldn't be too hard to screw up, just don't make dramatic changes and ta-da. SMAC with updated graphics and some of the stuff from Civ 4 would be good even if it's not revolutionary. But then again... Heh, maybe Shafer will work on it Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Malcador Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Well naturally it'll be streamlined and made accessible. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Morgoth Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 It's like Relic isn't allowed to do anything else anymore other then WH 40K. Rain makes everything better.
Drowsy Emperor Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) It's like Relic isn't allowed to do anything else anymore other then WH 40K. Reminds me of Bungie and Halo. Although to be honest, Relic people themselves have mentioned that of the former Homeworld team, there's almost no one left at Relic. Sad really, 3D has just gotten to the point where H3 could look glorious. Provided of course the same designers work on it, or at least keep the spirit of the game alive.

Morgoth Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I know there's a fair amount of ex-Relic designers now working at Blizzard. Rain makes everything better.
Bendu Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Hopefully, Space Marines (or whatever the game is called) will fail bad and Relic can concentrate on another RTS game.
Drowsy Emperor Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I know there's a fair amount of ex-Relic designers now working at Blizzard. Blizzard sure ain't stupid about hiring. Pity they're going to stick to the "Craft" and "Diablo" IPs till hell freezes over.

Nepenthe Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Hopefully, Space Marines (or whatever the game is called) will fail bad and Relic can concentrate on another RTS game. Nah, the studio will just get closed down and everybody gets fired. Can anyone point to a failed game release that lead to anything good? You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Morgoth Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 THQ just recently layed off 200 people (mostly in Australia). I think that fix will do for this year. Rain makes everything better.

As for Relic: It's not like they are making unsuccessful games right now.

Tale Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I'm actually really looking forward to Space Marine. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Drowsy Emperor Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I'm actually really looking forward to Space Marine. I would be too, if it wasn't my favorite RTS developer making it. I fail to see why Relic was even chosen to make this, their one and only action game was a miserable failure.

pmp10 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 It's like Relic isn't allowed to do anything else anymore other then WH 40K. They are supposed to revisit COH in the near future. But aside from that I wouldn't expect any new IP form them. THQ won't be taking risks right now. I know there's a fair amount of ex-Relic designers now working at Blizzard. Blizzard sure ain't stupid about hiring. Actually Blizzard hired mostly people that had a reasonable chance of creating serious competition for them. Dow1 designer was hired long before that game could unseat starcraft as a dominant RTS e-sport. As for Relic: It's not like they are making unsuccessful games right now. The problem with relic is that they specialized themselves in PC RTS. If they can't transition successfully to more modern genre/platforms they will be closed down before long.
