Hasselback writes: The game industry is constantly evolving where trends come and go while the names typically stay the same. Despite the players always jockeying for first place in the eyes of the consumer, most of those players stick around once they enter the industry. EA, Take 2 and SouthPeak are examples. But thanks to the latest evolution (or trend) in gaming, the face of the gaming world has changed so fast that many of those players may disappear very soon.
Trine is being sold for a limited time at the ridiculously low price of $1.25 on Amazon.com. Yes, a buck and a quarter!
alan wake off amazon for $2 for the download card but it cost me $8 shipping. funny how that worked out. Still, $10 for such a really good game.
Trine for $1.25 is REALLY good. Especially when you dont have to pay shipping.
Thanks for the heads up. Just bought this game and browsing for others as we speak.
GPT: "It appears that another recognizable name in video game publishing is bordering on shutting down. This speculation of a shutdown comes as news of the publisher delaying future releases has started trickling down through distributors and retailers. Sources at multiple retail giants are reporting that the publisher’s upcoming PC title Stronghold 3 is being delayed indefinitely."
I liked Two Worlds and 3D Dot Game Heroes a lot, but I don't see this being a loss. They screwed over so many companies. They spent more time in court than making games. Someone else can localize the 3D Dot Game Heroes sequel here in the UK.
As sad as it's to see people lose jobs, and to see publishers go in a dwindling industry like ours, I see no loss. They've struggled from the get go, and have yet to publish a SOLID title. All the whiles they've lied, and screwed gamers over.
"It appears that another recognizable name in video game publishing is bordering on shutting down"
Really ? aside from stuff they didnt develop , they have only released crap
Two Worlds II is a sequel that has suffers from a rare problem. Before its release, gamers were already convinced of the game’s inferiority based on the original which came out three years ago. So many gamers were “crackin’ wise about its momma” that the decision on Two World II’s quality was quickly made before the game even had a chance to even prove itself. However, the game actually ends up turning the tables on those expectations, improving the broken mechanics and raising the quality on everything its predecessor failed with. Well, not everything, I won’t get ahead of myself here. But the basic fundamentals such as graphics, gameplay, quests, etc. have been improved enough to make time with Two Worlds II surprisingly enjoyable.
I think EA has more to worry about with that 10 dollar online second hand deal
what game or games did they make?
to publish such awful games, why would you want them to stay aloft? I understand there are entrepreneurs behind that venture but come on, you expect to become rich by selling second rate products?
SouthPeak publish a good game now and then like Mushroom Men, Dementium and 3D Dot Game Heroes.
Most of their games are trash though.
