This month, Jace Hall - the CEO of Condemned creator Monolith Productions - expressed his interest in leaving the future of the Condemned franchise in the hands of an interested indie developer. It's obviously a series the studio has no intention of continuing in-house, which is a damn shame as despite its relatively poor commercial success, it's a cult classic and rightly so. However, the idea of opening the door to an indie to continue it forward is mouth-watering, and it's certainly got us thinking.
Spoiler Warning
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
Gameplay footage from a canceled Batman game that was being developed by Monolith Productions has emerged online.
Monolith is currently the only dev that might save DC game's reputation. Wonder Woman likely to be a good game.
Hope, Rocksteady gets a light bulb moment from this leak and consults with Monolith regarding future Batman project.
My worry is that the Wonder Woman game is gunna be a reskin of Shadow of War and because they’re using the Nemesis system, their going to do the DC equivalent of trying to sell us orcs again. They eventually took the microtransactions out of SoW, but it’s DC, they’ll probably try it again.
Im a bit confused as to why they would have been working on this game in the first place? With wildly different mechanics than the arkham games. Just seems odd.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
I would be more than interested in buying this if it were to come out. I think the condemned series was really neat and have really wanted another one for some time now.
I could totally see Frictional Games taking this project on and doing a damn fine job of it. Simogo was a bit out of left field to me. I think the sort of game they would create may not fit the whole Condemned theme. But who knows? Regardless, I just want someone to take this bad boy on and continue the legacy!
Frictional Games should totally make Condemned 3. I really hope they've put their hand up for it.
what about the Outlast guys?
Wow Simogo is a really out of the box suggestion. Sometimes those are the best kind.
