Australian dev house IR Gurus is one of the country's oldest and largest studios, and was recently purchased by US-based Red Mile Entertainment in August this year. The developers -- who are best-known for Heroes Over the Pacific, Heatseeker, and various AFL games -- have also recently undergone a name change to Transmission Games, and are now working on games based on the Sin City series of graphic novels. GameSpot AU talked to CEO Mike Fegan during the recent Game Connect Asia Pacific Conference to find out more about the recent takeover and how Sin City development was progressing.
Tidbits from the interview regarding the Sin City game:
- It is pre-production at the moment.
- The storyline is completely new, because they "want to create something unique and a new experience for people. And Frank [Miller] is pretty keen to expand this into an interactive experience."
- It will come out to PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
- It uses the Unreal 3 engine. It will be a third-person action adventure game.
- It will retain the graphic novels' art style.
Sony is to blame for Helldivers 2 getting brutally review bombed, so why is Arrowhead still catching strays?
i feel like a majority has been blaming Sony and not Arrowhead.
just what ive seen.
Arrowhead's CEO is awesome and so transparent; they're demonstrating they're a gamer-first studio and will stand by our side even with a publishing partner as big as Sony.
I haven't seen anyone blaming Arrowhead except the dumb "but you knew!" takes... Which are useless, it's still the publisher that listed it for sale in unsupported countries.
I think we've already moved past it but hey gotta remind everyone what direction to throw shade where they were already throwing it.
Remedy and Tencent announced today the cancellation of the cooperative multiplayer game known as Project Kestrel (formerly Vanguard) to focus on Alan Wake and Control.
Hades 2 developer Suoergiant Games has possibly hinted at future DLC in what would be another departure from tradition for the developer.
Retaining the art style YES. I'm picturing it looking like La Noire/Okami hybrid with some awesome NPR techniques.
