C2B Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (Unconfirmed so far though) Top level employees at Relic have been informed that its over. The group of bids that will be accepted tomorrow does not include a purchase of Relic. It will be shut down in short order. The "Company of Heroes" and "Homeworld" IPs were purchased for a small undisclosed amount of money. Company of Heroes 2 will not be released. Company of Heroes 1 Servers are being dismantled as i write this. Good Luck to all Relic Employees in the Future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason someone wouldn't bid at all even if just to liquidate the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Company of Heroes doesn't strike me as a valuable IP without Relic, so I don't know why anyone would buy it. It's World War II, the RTS, but made by a popular developer. Take the developer out, what do you have? So I'm just going to be skeptical of that. Homeworld, on the other hand, that's something people can get hyped for on the name and promise of sequels even from someone else.

BruceVC Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Guys take a look at this introduction video to Elder Scrolls Online. What do you think? I think it looks amazing. But I am easily pleased so I wouldn't mind other more insightful opinions "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

AwesomeOcelot Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The source claimed that they had “witnessed Unreal Engine 3 demos running at a solid 60fps” on the device. Yeah, at 1280x720. I'm fine with sacrificing resolution for frame rate. I think this generation of consoles might actually start below the performance of a mid to high range PC. I hope that the CPU is powerful, and that 8GB is correct, that should mean better gameplay. One of the reasons I think games have been lacking is the push for graphics on ageing hardware, but not in areas that matter: resolution, frame rate, texture size, and sacrificing AI, physics, and map size. It will be interesting to see what effect having x64 and AMD in the Xbox has on PC ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
