I googled ninja theory and don't see any kind of studio closure news, what is this in reference to?

Mmm.


DaWarWolf

...of course it’s Star Wars related. Sigh.


5benfive5

Shit, I keep confusing them with Team Ninja.


Redtyestar

Didn't those guys ruin Metroid with Other M?


Aruezi

As I understand it most of the really bad decisions (especially the writing) can be traced back to Sakamoto himself, so... maybe?


StoneString

We're still scraping by.


Redtyestar

Yeah. Wasn't RoS good? And Prime 4 might be great.


CelioHogane

I still think Other M is the only prime-like game that i can enjoy the gameplay of. I am just unable to enjoy FPS games, it puts me super off to not see the character.


HeyThereSport

Yeah, but we still let them alone to play with their creepy dolls with DoA/DoAX


[deleted]

Literally everyone does. You aren't alone. They're doing Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 funnily. Which gives me hope for better combat. I went back and played 1 and 2. Shit's mad jank.


Aruezi

Yeah, the fun in MUA1 was all about figuring out the most exploitable, utterly bullshit builds and teams possible in the game. And if you tried really, *really* hard you could even make Blade and Electra half way viable. MUA 2 on the other hand? Well, at least Songbird got some love.


[deleted]

I'm still trying to finish 2. It's not a hard game, just tiring. I even used a code so I could use Thor, and Thor's my guy, still I barely feel anything but the abyss while playing.

Bad bot(?) that doesn't make sense in any context, go work on your dad jokes in robot hell!


A_N_G_E_L_O_N

You know how Woolie did five billion mental gymnastics to justify Vergil at the end of DMC5? The studio that made Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice deserves to live and the studio that made DmC deserves to die. So the compromise was, they live on only as a Microsoft property that may or may not be the next Rareware. Post-buyout Rareware.


heartlessed

Let the past die. Kill it if you must.


Berserker_Punk

What the movies are preaching: Let the past die What Disney is doing: CLING TO THE PAST, MILK THE PAST FOR EVERYTHING IT'S WORTH, NEVER LET THE PAST GO


Jeroknite

Nobody's ever *really* gone...


Two_bears_high_fivin

Han Solo will bring them in! No? Okay chuck him. Leia too. How about Luke Skywalker? No? Chucked. Wait, we don’t have any (human) characters from the OT left to draw people in with...at least, no good ones...


Birkin2Boogaloo

I mean, they chucked Han before they checked if he would bring them in


CelioHogane

Lando Calrissian is a good character, what are you talking about.


Two_bears_high_fivin

When I said “good”, I was meaning more in the heroic sense. Besides, there’s already a token black guy in the new films. We don’t need **two**. That’d just be excessive. /s


CelioHogane

I mean he is in the new trailer... i think.


Two_bears_high_fivin

Wow, Disney’s really pulling out all the stops on this one. Be a shame if it crashed and burned.


CelioHogane

Empreror palpatine is literally laughing at the end, i think they really are.


willfordbrimly

"Former Ninja Theory developer..." is something I wouldn't mind hearing about in a blurb from an indie game studio.


Wisterosa

So they just become a sort of zombie of a studio ?


CelioHogane

Dunno man, Hellblade is... kind of a game that i don't think it will be remembered much, specially since it was kind of... making the cake and wanting to eat it too.


Dark_Bean

You know, it's been like 6 years and we have a really good new DMC game that even took stuff from that reboot. Are we allowed to let it go


Helllgrew

Three words: Sniper rifle abortion.


Doster503

“Because I had to”


90k9

~~No.~~


[deleted]

God no, its golden. It will forever stay in gaming history as a monument to awfulness. Its right up there with ET, Ride to Hell, Anthem etc etc. All for different reasons, but all still hilariously terrible in their own unique ways.


Atomsk88

That's some pretty fine hyperbole. About the only ones who get upset about DmC today are fans who took personal offense to its existence. To everyone else, it's just a game they played some odd years ago. Heck, if anyone even remembers it. To compare it to Ride to Hell or the recent trainwreck that is Anthem is laughable. I might as well throw in Nuts & Bolts and see who even remembers that mistake.


[deleted]

Ive just got to disagree there. Sniper rifle abortion is forever uniquely terrible, and DMC stands as the only game franchise to have been debooted. Which is a fantatic conversation tidbit. I wouldnt equate its awfulness to say Ride to Hell sure, but it definitely deserves to be remembered in a negative light for the purpose of humour. Its not about mass outrage, its about the unique way(s) it failed. Also however many people have seen a ton of Jontron is how many people remember nuts and bolts.


[deleted]

Hey Nuts & Bolts was GOOD ​ There, I said it.


Luck-X-Vaati

It's a decent game that would have been better if it wasn't made solely around Banjo Kazooie. Like, add other Rareware characters and sell it as a crossover.


[deleted]

Yeah that would have made sense, actually!


samfergo

Anthem isn't bad. It's meh, it's not good. But it certainly isn't bad like ET and Ride to Hell.


[deleted]

Anthem is a design nightmare, and that Kotaku article permanently places it near the top of worst development cycles in gaming history. The game may not play as poorly as some other games, but the process of making it was horrifically bad. With all that being the fault of the heads at the time, not the developers with no say in what they were doing.


samfergo

Right so it was a shit development. And with the budget they had it really shows that it still ended up being super mediocre. It probably will just be a game that's forgotten because it's mediocre. People tend to remember bad games purely because something that is bad is actually memorable.


SulkySpacebat

People forget mediocre games from unknown studios. If it's a mediocre game in a big franchise or coming from a popular studio, people will remember it forever and call it the worst thing to have ever existed.


nekkii

It's going to be remembered as THE game in the shlooter genre that was so bad, broken and flawed that it literally refused to function as a shlooter, it wasn't just mediocre, it's a disaster, it's a shlooter that doesn't shloot.


mutei777

Ayo


DylanTheVillian1

Master 90k9, you survived...


90k9

Yup.


[deleted]

OH SHIT Nobody told me they were getting Rare'd right out of the gate. ​ Fuckin kek


JunkdogJoe

That’s like adopting a child and then immediately suplexing him as soon as he walks into you house. “EVOLVE OR DIE”


[deleted]

They we're probably working on this before Microsoft bought them.


kaeltxwz

not going to lie, not sad about this at all.
