Ken Rolston has admitted that former partners THQ didn't have the money to fund Reckoning, or at least, the project that would become Reckoning.
In an interview with Strategy Informer, Rolston mentioned how before being bought by 38 Studios, BigHugeGames was working with THQ on a number of titles, including at "massive" single-player project.
Many overlooked RPGs lie dormant in the catalogues of gaming, but players can pick up their swords and shields with these amazing JRPG hidden gems!
Electronic Arts has announced a number of server closures in the coming months, including Apex Mobile and the 2012 Syndicate reboot.
Syndicate's big saving grace will soon be erased for good. I'll give *some* credit to EA in keeping servers up for 10+ years.
Oh yeah, an actual cyberpunk game. I have fond memories of the old bullfrog Syndicates.
Syndicate was a fun and high quality late PS3 fps that got swallowed in the sea of fps at the time. It was short and it didn't innovate but it had good visuals and fun combat. Starbreeze i believe. Rip Torn and Rosario Dawson.
Alex & Mike talk Biomutant, a game from Experiment 101/THQ Nordiq you likely have not heard of. While the AAA side of the industry tends to homogenization and imitative, cinematic presentation, “AA” games remain creative and innovative in 2021. Drawing on inspirations as varied as Dark Souls, third person shooters & kung fu cinema, Biomutant is Ratchet & Clank on acid, developed by a team of 20 people.
THQ couldn't but EA sure as shit can.
Can you blame THQ? BigHugeGames is an unproven dev filled with big (and expensive) names like Todd McFarlane and RR Salvatore who haven't done a damn thing in this industry and they want millions of $ to develop an uninspired looking hack and slash RPG...AND a MMO?
Going by the trailer and screens, its no wonder THQ walked. There isn't anything eye catching about this game at all.
From what some gaming press got to see behind doors of this game it sure sounds fucking awesome. Especially with the names working on it. Definitely keeping my eye on it.
