On one hand, I'm sad that the studio that created Full Throttle, Dark Forces and Jedi Knight, and many other games from my childhood is gone.
On the other hand, they haven't made a great game in a very long time. Even The Force Unleashed was just okay, but not stellar.
- eropple 14y agoThat studio disappeared a long time ago, though. In the mid-00's it transitioned to a licensing group and only fairly recently started making games on its own again.
- doktrin 14y agoAgreed on both counts. I purchased TFU 2 at full retail ($60), and regret it. It is hands down the worst title I own.
- potatolicious 14y agoYeah, I for one am not weeping that hard. MicroProse was stagnant for a long time and then finally went under - the resulting sale gave us, finally after so many years, a great X-Com game (with another on the way). The death of a game studio can have a (pretty thick) silver lining. When THQ went down it auctioned off its franchises - and forced a changing of the guard for some franchises that have been stagnant.
- bmeckel 14y agoTrue enough, but I was REALLY looking forward to SW 1313, it looked magnificent. That's what I'm really upset about here.
