ivar R'dhak STK Scientific M. PIRE	Posted - 2007.09.14 22:07:00 - [1] Edited by: ivar R''dhak on 14/09/2007 22:16:57 FASA Studio has closed its doors /me awaits Uwe Boll buying the franchise for a couple of bucks and r*ping it for another idiotic flic or two. Edit:Ah, looks like only the game company folded. The Mechwarrior and Shadowrun licenses have been sold out a long time ago. _ Mal-`Appears we got here just in a nick of time. What does that make us?¦ Zoe-¦Big damn heroes sir.¦ Mal-¦Aint we just.¦
Multras Caldari D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.09.14 22:17:00 - [2] Microsoft owns the rights to mechwarrior. Thanks to EVE Art Store for the sig.
F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2007.09.14 22:45:00 - [3] It's wonderful how they close down a few months after releasing Shadowrun. Glad I never bought the game. I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.

Hopefully the next time Microsoft tries to get companies to support ONLY their new operating system (in an attempt to force consumer downgrades) those companies will tell Microsoft where they can shove it. ATI and FASA learned the hard way...hopefully no more will follow.

Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.14 23:13:00 - [7] No more Mechwarrior? Ever? Patch sad ------ Originally by: CCP Prism X There's no such thing as playing too much EvE! You all obviously need more accounts!
Reiisha Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.09.14 23:20:00 - [8] Edited by: Reiisha on 14/09/2007 23:21:00 Originally by: Patch86 No more Mechwarrior? Ever? Patch sad There's been some projects in the running for like, forever concerning a new Mechwarrior... To be honest, i'd be planning a UT3 total conversion for it. And if MS gives me trouble i'll just rename everything na dkeep it looking the same - It's not like they haven't been doing the same ;) edit: on the bright side, microsoft treats it's employees a lot better than EA does.

Tauscha Vald'or	Posted - 2007.09.14 23:21:00 - [9] Originally by: Patch86 No more Mechwarrior? Ever? Patch sad Since MS handed off development of MW3 to Ripcord and some other company I can't remember did MW4 (horribly), no doubt MS will once again find another upstart company to completely F up the rest of the series....if we get any more. After the acquisition of FASA Interactive around...what, 2001 or so, MW played fast and loose with the FASA material they acquired and has done nothing to advance the games at all. Sure, sequels came out, but they didn't have half of the storyline that MW2 did. Until then, there is the fan supported MMO using the MW4 engine. Eventually.
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.09.14 23:46:00 - [10] I died a little inside; first Microprose, than Bullfrog, than BlackIsle, than Troika, now Fasa. Why do big companies buy out cult-followed series just to suck them dry? Why goddamn it?

Catalyst games is the current license holder for Shadowrun. And if you think it's been on the market a few months... boy, do you have some learnin' to do.

Why do big companies buy out cult-followed series just to suck them dry? Why goddamn it? Dont forget, Maxis and Westwood who where assimilated by EA. the Sim City series sucks in the EA era, 2k was the last good one.

And TSR, if we're allowed to spill over into print products.
Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Worms Corp	Posted - 2007.09.15 04:53:00 - [16] well atleast Bungie's Halo series didnt go totally to **** post assimilation like Sim City did though when Maxis got toasted.

That's debatable. Halo was originally supposed to have RTS-like gameplay, with a focus on small squad combat. Then Micro$oft started writing the checks and lo and behold, it changes to a FPS.

That's debatable. Halo was originally supposed to have RTS-like gameplay, with a focus on small squad combat. Then Micro$oft started writing the checks and lo and behold, it changes to a FPS. Agreed. Bungie was a fantastic game development house till MS got their grubby hands on them. I can't blame the Bungie guys for selling out...lots of cash on the table would make most of us bend over but was still a tragedy. Halo never lived up to the hype which, sans Microsoft, Bungie probably would have managed to live up to. I blame consoles and the need to appeal to gamers aged 8-80 in one game. Bungie would've ignored that and done their own thing. Microcrap suits of course ruin everything.
Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Worms Corp	Posted - 2007.09.15 08:01:00 - [19] wow never knew halo was suppost to be more RTS the FPS. the storyline could have made for a good RTS though.

Yup. Think Force Recon with a 3rd person chase camera. The plot was going to be slightly different, as well. Microsoft came on board and said, "Nope. Half Life in space. With a super-soldier. That'll be freakin' sweet!" Not that I dislike the current incarnation of Halo. I just know that Bungie sans Microsoft could've done 10x better. See also: Marathon.
