Warner Bros. registers URLs for Midway games presumed dead

Publisher stakes claim to Gauntlet DS, This is Vegas, and Criminal Web addresses, indicating previously abandoned projects may be revived.

Last year Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment purchased Midway for $49 million, instantly establishing itself in the fighting game genre with the Mortal Kombat series. Along with the fighting franchise, WBIE also picked up Midway's extensive back catalog of arcade and console games, as well as a few more recent titles that never saw the light of day.

how about the suffering and psi-ops?

Cajun Chicken5106d ago

This is Vegas is made by same developers as Suffering.

As for Psi-Ops, WB would be mad not to do anything with that IP.

vhero5105d ago

They announced they were still working on TIV ages ago its not a dead project and hasn't been for some time..

They really mean they are pivoting to slot machines on mobile devices.

I don’t think there ever was a time for GaaS. Its entire resistance is revolved around making a game that generates recurring revenue constantly throughout its lifetime. It’s straight up a corporate scumbag design.

I watched the video seeing if anything changed since the initial Suicide gameplay vid before the delay and it looks the same. So weird watching all the characters just start a gun to their back and bounce super high shooting with no kick-back animation in an empty dead world. The voice acting is cringe and there doesn’t have any sense of atmosphere or immersion like the Arkham games.

And they expect you to pay $70 to $100 for this and then pay more for Battle Passes and items to make grinding less a chore. Yea, no thank you. I hope you learn a hard lesson with this one.

yea, because thats what people want, especially after those games sold millions and are not live service games haha.

so dumb haha.

Genius executives at work. "hey, what we're doing is working great. Let's change it."

LOGICWINS177d ago

"Invasions" is technically free live service game with new content every 45 days. It's the best mode MK has ever had IMO. As a single player gamer, it gives me a reason to stick around after the story mode.

garos82176d ago

You have a terrible taste in games

-Foxtrot176d ago

I feel like their whole approach relies on how the Suicide Squad sells

Oh great, looking forward to the sh*t future of gaming. Thanks industry!

PunksOnN4G176d ago

New mk sold less then the last in the same time frame the NEW MK is legit a live service game with its horrible monopoly board. I just wanted a normal title...

FatalityX77176d ago

It's not on older hardware, so that's why it seems less. No ps4/xbox one versions.

Sgt_Slaughter176d ago

I doubt older hardware would make a difference, given the ratios of sales of other multi-gen games

PunksOnN4G176d ago

Nah the new MK full of live service shit even the singleplayer monopoly board they gave use instead of a normal kyrpt says enough and sales reflect that also this MK is very combo heavy it not noob friendly what's so ever like others

Flewid638176d ago

Wasn't the last one a live service game?

MehmetAlperTR176d ago

More live services.. LOL.. i hope you ll see the deep.
