dylanjosh Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Has been a WWE game as good as Here Comes The Pain? I also loved the first SD vs Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante77 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Here comes the pain is by far the best wwe game. I don't think any of the raw vs sd game comes even close in every department even the graphics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I don't think any of the raw vs sd game comes even close in every department even the graphics! Since SVR 2007, the polygon count was increased way more than HCTP. So yeah, even the PS2 WWE SVR games were better looking than HCTP, and we are not considering current gen games at all. But HCTP still remains the best WWE game. WWE 13 comes a close 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWolf Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Through this generation, we’ve seen many developers come and go. Over the past few years, THQ has been in financial trouble, and declared bankruptcy recently. A few days ago, their franchises were auctioned off to the highest bidders. It’s a sad day for the gaming community, as the body of THQ was thrown to the vultures and picked clean. Even in the midst of losing their jobs, the employees of THQ kept their spirits up. Today was the company’s last day of operation, and in its final moments, they paid tribute to Saints Row. This one’s for the homies I’ll let the video below speak for itself. In their final moments, the employees cracked open a 40 ounce drink and poured it out on the front steps of the entrance of the building, “for all of you… and the THQ and Saints homies.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoken Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sony Santa Monica Is Also Interested In Vigil's Employees http://n4g.com/news/1161132/sony-santa-monica-is-also-interested-in-vigils-employees I think Sony Santa Monica will make a better Darksiders game than Platinum..Platinum is all combat and style everything else is ok in their games...Not fit for Darksiders...Darksiders needs a western developer.... You do realise that "Everything else" you talk about costs like a bajillion dollars right? GOW costed even more to make than UC2. Whereas PG games cost very less. Darksiders already proved that the high budget/ high sales thing doesnt work out for it. What if the new steambox is actually the new Dreamcast? http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID15166/images/m-night-shyamalan( :rofl:/> ... Steambox shall kill playstation and exact Sega's revenge. Ummm... they were pretty strong since the day they backed Creative Assembly, it is a niche player and very respected amongst its followers. They also did a few shooters, ALPHA PROTOCOL comes to mind, was a shooter-RPG with some very flimsy shooter principles. Now they are doing ALIENS with GEARBOX lets see how that ends up. Ummm I think you didnt get the point. I hope you know SEGA were originally console developers behind Genesis,Saturn,Dreamcast. The fact that they are now focusing more on PC and moving away from Console games is pretty ironic. Even PSO2 is exclusive to PC and thats like the first RPG on consoles ever. Their recent PC ports have also been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Darksiders already proved that the high budget/ high sales thing doesnt work out for it. That was under Vigil/THQ. In different hands, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadoken Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 ^^ True , but quality was never an issue with the game. IMHO , I think the action genre is just Niche genre more focussed towards hardcore. The mainstream high production value thing has just been failing too much or a lot of games. Heavenly Sword,enslaved,Castlevania (pretty low sales , only thing that saved it was the name) and now DmC. I think its better to make a game with low budget and get like 1.5m-2m sales instead of attempting to pull of a GOW. I mean even for GOW it seems like money can be better invested in Shooters. GOW costed way more than UC2 , but UC2 sold a loot more. Either way hope they get bought by someone, dont wanna see em die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 , but quality was never an issue with the game. DS2 was good but first one was ok.....Santa Monica will take Darksiders to next level with jaw dropping graphics and awesome GOW style combat..... GOW 3 sold around 5million copies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 ... Steambox shall kill playstation and exact Sega's revenge. Ummm I think you didnt get the point. I hope you know SEGA were originally console developers behind Genesis,Saturn,Dreamcast. The fact that they are now focusing more on PC and moving away from Console games is pretty ironic. Now that would be ironic. SEGA's folly being absolved by Valve almost a decade plus later. I know that they were one of Nintendo's biggest rivals in the early pre-PS console generation but since the Dreamcast turned turtle they reorganized their core speciality to become a publisher and one of their first PC franchises was TOTAL WAR done by Creative Assembly (originally paid for by EA). Now they were strong from that point onwards, every TOTAL WAR game that has been released since is graphically and technically sound, has a ton of MOD support. Last year they shut shop in the mainland EU territory, they have only one office and that is in the UK alongside Creative Assembly and relic now. I never felt they were weak OR an unknown factor in games, at-least they are stable and well received from the RTS P.o.V. EMPIRE TOTAL WAR sold better than relic's DoW II (they shared the release date). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Vigil Games Crafts A Fitting Tribute To The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword http://mynintendonews.com/2013/01/26/vigil-games-crafts-a-fitting-tribute-to-the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword/ The artwork above was crafted by Darksiders II developer Vigil Games. On its Facebook page, Vigil Games says it made the artwork as a tribute to one of its favorite video games, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Since its inception in 2005, the developer made two games – Darksiders and Darksiders II – both of which were inspired by The Legend of Zelda series. Although Vigil Games is defunct as of January 23rd, 2013, Platinum Games’ Atsushi Inaba expressed interest in purchasing the Darksiders franchise.

NitroNeo Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I Hope Santa Monica get DS , that way they can expand GOW , i hope they find a way to merge both GOW & DS worlds in future , makes sense to merge heaven n hell , the combat of DS is similar to GOW anyway Hmm must have skipped the WWE to take-two , wow that's epic , now people will get the WWE PC Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemosabe Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Take Two is getting WWE licensing is the best news of the entire THQ bankruptcy saga. There are too many AAA games released now a days and in the current economy every game is not going to sales like COD or GOW. Publisher and Developer has to very careful in planning their game release and should focus on limited and good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Santa Monica will just use the Devs from Vigil to churn out more GOW games. I never liked the art-style of DS (personal preference, I dont like those Starcraft like graphics in games for eg Fable, Amalnur, DS etc) and combat was alright. DS 2 bored me with pointless fetch quests as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroNeo Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 ^^Play fable 2 on your xbox & then call fable names , all the fable games are pushovers compared to fable 2 , best fable by far & for me the best RPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanjosh Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Fable 2 was almost unplayable with those utterly horrid menus. I prefer Fable: TLC to Fable 2. Loved that game so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroNeo Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well in that sense there are many great games out there which might be considered unplayable , the top one would be NBA 2k12 , though i could care less about it , anyway fable 2 had a good Ol co-op system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
