Good news for Orv as Winged Cloud, the makers of highly acclaimed western VN titles such as Sakura Spirit and Sakura Angels have their next title on Greenlight already. Seems like they're sticking to their true and tested formula.

Considering THQ had reportedly been working on the sequel when they went into insolvency, if it was halfway done, might as well finish it up. Nope, Crytek actually brought the Homefront IP. THQ contracted Crytek UK (previously known as Free Radical) to make Homefront 2. When THQ died Crytek brought the IP (probably cheaper than re-working the game they had been working on into something other than a Homefront sequel). Then Crytek started making GBS threads the bed and they shut down the UK studio and sold the IP to Deep Silver (who I believe had signed on to publish the game before they brought it from Crytek).

I always knew Deep Silver as the crappy middlemarket budget title publisher and I don't think Saint's Row is going to last much longer.

More or less but they have been trying to go bigger since Dead Island made them stupid amounts of money and Risen series not being a complete failure, plus they also bought the Metro series at the same time as Saints Row. With that name recognition I wouldn't be surprised if they could get some investors for at least another Saints Row title, assuming that Dead Island 2 doesn't bomb completely.

ookiimarukochan posted:Deep Silver is owned by an international, they're not some tiny little company like the people in this thread seem to assume. I know but Saints Row is a title with more expectation behind it, which means it requires more money than Deep Silver has probably been handed before. Before Dead Island their biggest game was Risen which isn't something you can use to convince a $30+ million budget. They also published a little title known as Ride to Hell: Retribution not too long ago. Risen 2 wasn't really that good and Risen 3 is... okay-ish. Of their 4 biggest franchises, Metro and Saints Row are the creation of entirely unrelated studios and publishers, and I'm not sure Deep Silver even owns-owns the Metro series. They're nowhere near the size of even THQ was, even when the the latter was circling the drain. But all I'm really getting at is that those franchises do mean something so I have to imagine they're going to use them to try and springboard themselves to bigger budget games, starting with the next entries.

Pretty sure Deep Silver(and THQ before they went bust) only handles distribution for the Metro games.

Metro series, Dead Island series, Risen series, Ryse, Sacred 2 and 3, SR4 and Gat out of hell, STALKER Clear Sky, The Guild 2, most of the X games, those were all published by Deep Silver. Which ones are hits or misses is up to personal interpretation.

Deakul posted:Respect for Traveller's Tales has dropped considerably, doesn't help either that their support of past games has never been stellar, all of the DLC for LEGO Batman 3 is loving garbage. Did the season pass finally finish up? If they managed to actually complete that I think it's time I go back and replay the thing to see how the extras turned out... although this does not sound stellar.

Which ones are hits or misses is up to personal interpretation. They also have very little to do with the actual making of some of "their" bigger games. Metro and Saints Row are both properties they bought after they were already nearly complete and Ryse they only handled the distribution of the PC box version (ie. in Europe). Dead Island is still the only series they did on their own that managed to become a big success and the studio that actually made Dead Island went to find a different publisher for Dying Light. Turtlicious posted:Is Kentucky Route Zero fully released? Is it worth buying into? Is it good? It's good as it is right now but not done yet and probably won't be for some time. Hard to say if its worth actually getting right now though because its a game that very much needs to be continued.

I don't get people who say stuff like "Saints Row 4 was too crazy and not serious enough and I didn't enjoy it". The game is bonkers, super heroes and lovely people being dicks and saving the world sorta while murdering millions. Good stuff. Very video games.

I've got a theory that the people who enjoyed Saint's Row 2 were those who liked getting into a GTA and completing the game, exploring the whole city etc, and those who enjoy 3 and 4 were more into flipping all the cheats on and messing around.

I also liked the fact that in spite of your character being an inserted creation you actually seemed to act like you were part of the plot. Felt like a man or woman of action, instead of the bog standard protagonist who just gets dragged everywhere and through everything. Granted I think that has to do with morality - that if your character "never asked for this" it's okay to shoot like 500 people in the face, whereas the SR boss was like YES! Shooting people in the face rules! Give me the tank!

What I mean is, Saint's Row 3 normal is like Vice City or San Andreas with cheats on. (My own problems with the game relate far more to how obviously unfinished it is, but that's the impression I get.)
