Meni to su nesto nije jasno:

Ko sad ima prava na Darskiders?
Ok razumem da otpustaju tim koji je na njemu radio, ali gde sad idu ta prava koja niko nije kupio?

Izasla je vest da su Bayonetta developeri zainteresovani za Darksiders licencu...

Jup, rekoh ja da ce Nintendo da uskoci, ovako ili onako. Platinum je trenutno u bliskoj saradnji sa Nintendom na dva projekta, dve Wii U exkluzive.

Evo sta kaze jedan od shareholder-a:

relic $26.5 million to sega
Homefront to crytek $547 thousand
South Park Viacom $3 million
Montreal to UBI $2.5 million
Volition to Koch Media $22 million
Turtle Rock games $10.5 million to TTWO back up bidder turtle rock $250k
Metro.....

We tried to keep company together. Our plan was to to keep volition sell everything else to pay creditors, keep cash to run Vigil and Voliton. At that point burn should be cut to near zero with incoming cutting catelog sales and cash keeping operations going until Saints Row 4 launches.

I said we have a plan for the company for Chapter 11 where as management only plan submitted was sell assets.

Obvious the turtle rock game were completed or near completion with value of $10.5 million. Not promoting and keeping game secret did not enhance the perception of THQ in the market. I believe this was done to keep valuation low when they tried to take company private.

Relic sold for $26.5 million shows that a lot of money was spent on company of heros and that game is ready to launch.

South Park for 3 million? don't have an answer.

Volition 22 million. If I had the money I would buy that studio in a heart beat.

Clearlake and management trying to seal records and managements contracts that were made with clearlake. I objected.

Called out bondholders(hedgefunds) as criminals for selling shares when they found out the company will go into BK before official. anoucment of BK.

Told Court I have talked to US attorney General about managements attempt to steal company(putting the co in current situation) and as of now my compliant has been forwarded to the SEC and a have schedueled follow up with DOJ and intend to pursue illegal trading of Stock by hedge funds(bondholders).

Called out management for engineering bankruptcy and destroying company.


Dirtbags sat in front of me in court. I wanted to smack Farrell and Rubin in the back of the head. Stayed civilized and fought the fight on my dime and time. Unlike about 5THQ executives who flew in on THQ monies. Bingo wanted to hire lawyer but $35k was just to much. Previous case law suggested we had a slim shot but we tried. Let's hope US attorney General office from NY 3rd district persue
my allegations of fraud and illegal trading. I would like to see justice served.

I am sorry for all who believed in this company and lost a lot of money. I lost a lot. It was a good investment until management started f-cking up more than usual by delaying games, not supporting the stock and shareholders. Deciding to take company private through BK was last nail in coffin. John from twitter pointed out the obvious, when management thinks they own the company and disregard shareholders run for the door.

Good luck on future investments and in life.

Over an out,

Paul

Da, baš dobra vest. Serijal koji je do sada bio multiplatform do postane Nintendo ekskluziva, ura
Darksiders 3 kao Wii U ekskluziva bi bilo gore nego za Bajonetu 2, to je i bio Platinumov IP, on su stvorili tu igru od nule i fer je da rade sa njom šta god žele ali ovo bi bilo baš lame... Kupiš tuđi IP i pretvoriš ga u ekskluzivu za jednu konzolu, konzolu na kojoj se od prethodne dve igre iz tog serijala pojavila samo druga. Ne, hvala.

[dragomix]

Surov je svet, sta da ti kazem. Nintendo trenutno ima novca da ulaze u dosta stvari, a studiji im trebaju kao i igre ko leba. Platinum je bukvalno na korak da postane Nintendov, Sega vec duze vreme zivi od mrvica koje im baca Nintendo (sa Mario + Sonic igrama).

Nadam se samo da ce osnovati neki Platinum West studio, Japanci ima da sje*u serijal ako oni budu vodili glavnu rec.

Sad nazad na temu...i zvanicno sud je potvrdio/dozvolio prodaju THQ assets

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/24/co...q-asset-sales/

Sad ostaje da vidimo dalji razvoj sada vec bivsih serijala pokojnoga THQ-a

[dex3108]

Patrice mozda nece nazad u Ubisoft. U narednih par sedmica ce se znati da li ide dalje ili se vraca. Takodje 2 IP-ja je Ubi kupio kupovinom THQ Montreal-a ali aljda svi zaposleni prelaze u Ubi Montreal studio (drugi najveci studio na svijetu).

[dragomix]

Homeworld nije bio ukljucen u Relic kad je kupljen studio, IP ce biti na prodaji krajem meseca. Mozda tad bude bio ukljucen i Darksiders kao IP, pa vidimo zasigurno sta se dogadja.

THQ Bankruptcy Update (23 January 2012)

The results are in from the first round auctions at THQ. Homeworld developer Relic is now part of Sega! We wish Relic and all THQ studios and employees the best of luck at their new homes and during this challenging time in their careers. We hope the future holds continued creative opportunities for you all.

During preparations for our campaign, we began filing the paper work necessary to have participated in this auction. We were then notified by a banker involved with the proceedings that certain legacy properties including Homeworld were not actually a part of this auction, and were to be sold later in the month. We will be reaching out to contacts during the week to confirm that this is still the case, however, this language is mirrored in THQ CEO Brian Ferrell’s letter to employees stating, “Some assets, including our publishing businesses and Vigil, along with some other intellectual properties are not included in the sale agreements. They will remain part of the Chapter 11 case. We will make every effort to find appropriate buyers, if possible.” You can read the full letter on Kotaku, http://kotaku.com/5978429/this-is-the-letter-th...

DDInvesting further clarifies this language stating, “THQ: Total proceeds of auction close to $100M Estate retaining cash on hand, accounts receivable, legacy library, to name a few” https://twitter.com/DDInvesting/status/29418273...

Pa logicno bi bilo jer tesko da ce Ubi da drzi dva studia u istom gradu...da fuzija THQ Montreal-a i Ubisoft Montreal-a deluje kao sasvim sigurna stvar.

Ne znam gde moze da ode, jedino ako oce da ga primi Take 2. Licno mislim da mu je najbolje resenje da okaci neki Kickstarter projekat, to bi bilo najbolje resenje i za Vigil ako Darksiders ne bude prodat i ako uspeju da ga otkupe za neke sitne pare.

Uf, budžet za pravi Darksiders nastavak bi bio mnogo veći od bilo čega što je do sada skupljeno na Kickstarteru.
Jedino ako odluče da treći deo bude 2D top-down u maniru starih Zeldi, bez voice actinga, cinematica... To bi moglo da se napravi za neka dva-tri miliona, nema šanse da skupe više od toga na KS.

[dragomix]

Ne bi im Kickstarter bio svo finansiranje, kao sto nije ni recimo Star Citizen-u! Samo bi bilo pokazivanje drugim investitorima da ima zainteresovanih ljudi koji hoce da kupe igru. Mozda bi imali najuspesniji kickstarter projekat do sad.

Inace vec su se udruzili neki likovi da prikupe novac za Homeworld. Hoce da izbace prve dve igre na mobilne platforme i krenu u izradu trece igre. Koliko potencijala ima ta igra, moglo je od toga da se izrodi svasta, od space kombat do TPS i FPS igara, ali na kraju nije ispalo nista.

Darksiders zajedno sa Homeworldom (za sada) krajem meseca na drugoj rundi. Nadam se da ce neko kupiti prava za ove dve fantasticne fransize koje itekako imaju zivota u sebi!

Relic je usao u dobre ruke, SEGA je izjavila da nece menjati nista vezano za tim. Jos nije sigurno dal su pokupili i Warhammer 40k licencu sa studiom!

like a baws.

Crytek otvorio studio u americi, na celo postavljen co osnivac Vigil-a David Adams. Kazu da ce biti zaposljeno 35 iskusnih developera, verovatno bivsi zaposleni Vigil-a.

[dragomix]

Crytek zaposlio skoro ceo Vigil, verovatno ce kupiti i Darksiders IP. Crytek ce gotovo sigurno izbaciti i PC verziju svake svoje igre!

Wauuu Darksiders f2p FPS dreams come true...
