"Forget it. She hates you. You ain't got a shot in the world with Ms. Splosion Man. She hates your guts with every bit of her unstable and explosive body." - Eduardo Reboucas, GameRevolution
Meta announced it has acquired developers Twisted Pixel, Armature Studio, and Camouflaj.Twisted Pixel is known for The Maw,‘Splosion Man,Ms. Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, LocoCycle, and Wilson's Heart. Armature Studio developed the virtual reality version of Resident Evil 4. They also recently released Where the Heart Leads. Camouflaj is the studio that developed Marvel's Iron Man VR and Republique.
I always said that MS should have purchased Twisted Pixel way back when they made MS Splosion Man.
Not sure what they have been up to lately, but I loved the humor found in their games.
But MS actually *DID* purchase them close to Ms. Splosion Man's release. Later, both parties came to a mutual split around the mid-2010s and Twisted Pixel moved their attention to VR.
I believe you're right! I vaguely recall a story a while back of them parting ways. I probably left a comment here on N4G way back of how disappointed I was to hear it.
@crxss: yeah.... The article says that too. But doing this sort of adjustment isn't at all good and especially in the specific arena of Meta's VR teams.
Oh no. We need Microsoft to look at what Meta is aiming to purchase so that they can buy 'em before Meta can so that they can save us from Facebook.
Lol. But in all seriousness. Companies better start looking, or should I say, should have been looking years ago in getting VR developers that are already knowledgeable in VR. I always thought Sony should have been looking at Survios. They can crank out multiple types of games at a decent quality. With help and more time to cook, they could really be a great catch. And not rush things.
Camouflaj did well in working around PS Moves lack of 360 tracking. Shows initiative and creativity. Twisted is a good catch too. Armature did what Capcom is already capable of doing. So, I'm not as impressed with that one.
But it took Facebook long enough. Pushing music DLC and Ready at Dawn not making anything yet for Quest wasn't going to work for long. The race is on and let the competition begin.
A popular and former Xbox 360 exclusive is free for a limited time on Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and if you still have one, on Xbox 360 too. What's the catch? Well, the offer is limited to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, however, the free game isn't through Games With Gold. It's unclear why the game has been made free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers, and we don't know how long it's free for, but at the moment of publishing, all subscribers can download it free of charge and play it as much or as little as they want as long as they maintain an active subscription.
A new trailer accompanies the announcement.
ahhh,, constant deaths and resets usually make me turn a game off.... but humor sometimes makes up for it. She looks so creepy!
What in the hell did I just look at?
Still haven't played it. I'll download the demo tonight.
Explosions are always a plus, I gotta play now
Aaaallll the single ladies!... blow up?
