Ensemble: Is Halo Wars going to suck now?

28
Via Official Halo Wars wesbite:

"That's a totally fair question. The Ensemble Studios' closure announcement certainly affects the perception of Halo Wars. Despite that risk, we put our people first. Telling our employees ASAP was the right thing to do. I give Microsoft quite a bit of credit for letting us do that.

Finishing the game will be harder now, but it will get done and be great."

1 - New company forming....
AKA, MS has their new console RTS division. Look for Console version of Age of Empires in the future and kiss the future PC versions goodbye.

Ensemble hasn't made a sucky game yet, I'm sure it will be something worth playing, however, they haven't made an "AAA" game since the first Age of Empire, IMHO.

Microsoft made announcement like that in economic times like this is just fuccing wrong even if it biz as usual. Have the damn grace to let these guys work with some piece of mind and security instead the threat of a pink slip...

Be a gamer...Not a hater

Did you read Microsoft's announcement? I don't think so...

"Microsoft is working to place as many Ensemble employees who do not move to the newly formed studio into open positions within Microsoft as possible."

It's good Microsoft is doing this ahead of time, rather than just cutting everyone off without notice after the game ships.

13 - "That's a totally fair question."
IT sure isn't, because there was never any guarantee that the game would be good. When reputable studios with a good track record like Factor 5(Rogue Squadron) and Free Radical(Goldeneye, Timesplitters) can make bad games, anyone can.

This bullcrap about taking a rep for granted has destroyed games and devs alike. Let's stop expecting stuff to happen like we're clairvoyants. Open minds, please.

13.1 - free radical
did not make goldeneye.

Rare made goldeneye, just because some of the staff from rare started up free radical does not mean it was the same team. Infact only about 1/4 of the original team from rare went to free radical after perfect dark, so that's very much untrue.
