Strange developer, one of those where the graphics and such were fine but it needed better game designers and game directors. Hopefully the talented ones remain in the industry where as the others move on into another sector. Just because it's your dream to make games doesn't mean you have the talent to do so.
All I know about them was that Lost Planet was "meh" and Yaiba was terrible.
Always said to see another studio close or get absorbed into EA... then closed.
Yaiba and Legendary were awful. I recently purchased Lost Planet 3, which seems okay. Cant say they will be missed.
AKA sad to see people lose their jobs. Good luck to them in their future endeavors.
Low-quality western outsource team goes under. I cant say that Im sad. Never the less best of luck to all people in need for a job :-)
Good
I wish the workers luck in finding their place in an industry.
Meh, they never put out anything great, imo.
