Sonic Drift isn't that bad, considering it's an 8-bit racing game released for a handheld. Labyrinth isn't all that great, mind.
I'd quite like the old Bizarre Creations back, if I'm being honest. I'm sure Lucid Games will keep Bizarre's mantra going and everything, but it'll never be quite the same.

Ah! I forgot about BBR! That was pretty cool too. But their big name titles never really did anything for me. Perhaps they might have had more success as a smaller, XBLA/PSN/cheap Steam focused developer?Gavvie wrote:I quite liked a few of their games.

That might be the direction Lucid goes in, who knows? I don't think being bought out by Activision really helped them in the long run.
Reminds me a little of SEGA Racing Studio actually. Made one game (SEGA Rally Revo), get bought out by Codemasters, don't do a lot, get disbanded. Least, I think it was Codies...

Has being bought out by Activision ever been a good thing?Gavvie wrote:That might be the direction Lucid goes in, who knows? I don't think being bought out by Activision really helped them in the long run.
Sounds like a "If you can't beat them, join them" scenario to me. Codies make the Colin McRae/DIRT franchise. Rival publisher makes a rally game. Buy developer that made such rally game. Disband them. One less rival in the market.Gavvie wrote:Reminds me a little of SEGA Racing Studio actually.

I'm trying to think of a developer who have been bought by Acti and are still making good headway. I can't really think of one, though Infinity Ward do spring to mind. Not sure if Acti bought them though, or if they're a 3rd party who just so happen to develop games exclusively for them.Kaito-kun wrote:Has being bought out by Activision ever been a good thing?
