SEGA acquires what's left of Relic(Company of Heroes, Warhammer 40k) for $26.6 million. Nordic acquires Supreme Commander, Red Faction, Darksiders, Destroy All Humans, Summoner, et al for $4.9 million. Koch acquires Metro for $5.8 million and what's left of Volition(Saints Row, FreeSpace) for $22.3 million. Crytek acquires Homefront for $500 thousand. Ubisoft acquires South Park for $3.2 million. 505 acquires Drawn to Life for $300 thousand. Take2 acquires L4D dev's newest project Evolve for $10.8 million. Which of these is most likely to get ruined?
Damn, EA isn't there for a free answer. I'd probably shoe in SEGA and Relic, on account that I don't know how they'll shape DoW or CoH in the future, and SEGA doesn't seem like it'd have much experience in it. Purely a guess. I'd also hazard Nordic to mess something up, seeing how Red Faction and Supreme Pizza Commander aren't competitive in their genres. But I wouldn't know. Those were relatively unpopular in a grand scale, anyhow.
Metro just went from Instant-Buy status to Instant-Pirate status in my book. Ubisoft lucked out and played it safe with shitparkSouthpark, since that can't possibly get any worse than it already is. The last Red Faction game I played (armageddon) was utter crap compared to it's previous release, so that's ruled out. Not too sure about Take2, but I have a weird feeling Evolve might wind up bad given the downsizing and layoffs that it went through. However, I can't honestly say for sure on that because couldnt find Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler after one google search anything on it.
