Raithe Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 And Square Enix is announcing profits after selling 2 million Deus Ex units... Mayhaps this will mean we'll see some more dlc..or potentially another DE game... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 And Square Enix is announcing profits after selling 2 million Deus Ex units... Mayhaps this will mean we'll see some more dlc..or potentially another DE game... If you look at DLC sales, they basically start plummeting immediately after release - It'd have to be a standalone xbl/psn game, if not a full-blown sequel. The latter (a full-blown sequel) is my guess, whether they target this generation or the next is going to be the interesting part. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Humanoid Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 It's being given away with AMD cards now, lost value pretty fast so I'm not convinced anything is forthcoming. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Because I pre-ordered Hitman Absolution, I got my special promotion code for this "Hitman Sniper Challenge" thing.. which you redeem at Square Enix for a code you can plug into Steam.. Of course, then Steam tells me I need another product activated first, but I can't activate Hitman Absolution because I haven't got the bloody game yet.. This seems a great setup for the promotion so far.... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undecaf Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) There was a rumor in one of our local gamingsites that Microsoft and Lionhead have teamed up for a "next gen" RPG. Sources are Linkedin with a message that "This discussion is no longer available" and this twitterpage, which also doesn't seem to have anything anymore. Has there been anything about this elsewhere? Wasn't project North Carolina to be a Microsoft "next gen" title?

Wow, the main bit that stood out in that article is that 38 studios employs 378 people full time. That seems way too big for a studio like this. It's a shame because KoA is a solid game and I think they have potential, but they basically put all their eggs in one game and hoped it turned into a blockbuster. Bad business. They really should be running with about 100 employees, I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So has anyone noticed increased quality from the giant budgets arising over the last decade. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 So has anyone noticed increased quality from the giant budgets arising over the last decade. Sure, in presentation. The CGI videos, sound and voice, and overall art of today's games have definitely come a long way. Of course this doesn't replace a solid game play experience, which has little to do with giant budgets and people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'd hazard a guess that given the plan was to move on to an MMO based on the Amalur IP, maybe they overreached early on perhaps an overoptimistic schedule.

Very true, I'd say the MMO is to blame for that overly large team. Turbine manages multiple MMO's with a team of about 100. It should be possible to run one with a reasonably sized group, they don't all need to be WoW/TOR sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I recall reading that part of the reason they got the loan is because they promised to create 400 jobs. So having that many employees might have been required. That just makes it sound doomed to fail. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Gorth Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 I wonder how close/far from the mark the NPD sales figures were. 330000 sold copies (for pc and consoles combined) doesn't sound like a lot for the level of ambition and investment put into the game.. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
