Homefront to Crytek? that could be interesting!

Will they fix the Homefront problems? or just have their names in the game!

[Ps360]

Sega agreed to purchase Relic (Company of Heroes and Warhammer).
Koch Media agreed to purchase Volition (Saint's Row) and Metro.
Crytek agreed to purchase Homefront.
Take 2 agreed purchase Evolve (new ip not yet announced).
Ubisoft agreed to purchase Montreal and South Park.


EA is rumored to have the WWE license.

[MimiPRGameFreak]

EA can have WWE, but the rest they better not touch.

[Ps360]

Take two also bought the dev team behind darksiders.


take two is the same people who own rockstar by the way.

EA is rumored to have the WWE license.

That's not surprising at all, I expected EA to grab WWE, considering the fact that the milk the hell out of yearly sports games anyway.

On a side note, i'm looking forward to seeing how Saint's Row and Homefront turn out in the future. But i will say that Homefront does need more than a new game engine to make it a better game/series.

It looks like Vigil wasn't picked up by Take Two after all. Damn, I was really hoping to see more Darksiders. Maybe someone else will step in and take Vigil...

yeah i was expecting WWE to be part of EA Sports. Makes sense with all the yearly sports games they have and even more money for them.

Edit: Looks like Take Two is getting the WWE license

Well that worked out nicely

P.S. The South Park game should never be released because the show fucking sucks and it offensive up the ass.

Poor fool

Homefront franchise
Winning bid: $544,218 - Crytek
Backup bidder: None

That is all the Homefront franchise is worth? Most games piss that away on ad budgets. Odds are that it's going to need an entire revamp or it's just going to sit for a long time, since it doesn't sound all that profitable.

WWE Video Game License to be Acquired by Take Two - IGN

Glad to see EA doesn't advance in it's quest to create a monopoly on sports games. I'm kinda glad EA didn't get the rights to the WWE license. No game franchise should have to endure that.

FUCK YEA PLATINUM GAMES

[Mihalick]

Phew! Glad EA isn't getting WWE. I thought for sure they would have picked it up. It fits their bill for milking annually with little work and updates.

[STRANGEgenius]

South Park, Metro, Saints Row and Homefront went to developers i don't mind.

Although Ubisoft is shit, its better then EA.

[KingLazy]

FUCK YEA PLATINUM GAMES

oh god no, as much as I like Platinum games they hype their games and fail to deliver on them

[Mihalick]

Huh? You like Platinum Games but they just don't deliver on their games.

That's like saying is your grilled cheese sandwiches are your favorite food because you hate cheese.

[Undrey]

South Park, Metro, Saints Row and Homefront went to developers i don't mind.

I'm pretty sure they're all the same developers, but different publishers.

The developer of Homefront bought Homefront.

Sad to see THQ go, they've made a lot of great games, but one tablet cost them their company.

[DaRe_xLw]

Screw everyone else, I'll buy all of the IP's!

Their games such as Madworld, Vanquish and Anarchy Reigns failed to live up to their expectations and Bayonetta on the PS3 was a insult on how bad the port was.

EDIT: Forgot to add Infinite Space to the list, seriously if you ask any gamer that game they will be confused as much as the next guy.

Yeah i know Crytek are making the 2nd Homefront. But still... THQ built a massive company and some good series and now other companies are gonna get the profits.

IF THQ waited till the end of 2013 they would've been fine. South Park, Saints Row 4 and Metro would've sold like crazy.
