Acclaim's dead. - A Black Falcon - 1st September 2004 http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/543/543219p1.html Quote:Acclaim to File for Bankruptcy poor Acclaim... not too surprising given their money problems and how they lost all of their major franchises this year, but still sad. This is how these things usually work... company gets in trouble, sells off some assets, tries to survive, fails to get funding, and closes. It's sad. :( Acclaim doesn't have much recent IP left, after losing Turok, MLB (though someone might buy the 'All-Star Baseball' name), etc, but I wonder if what it's got left will sell (other than those two games)... like their older games (though of course not counting the ones that other people developed, like Midway's NBA Jam or Mortal Kombat). Or Extreme-G. Interplay, of course, has gone through all of those stages except for the final closure... their CEO can't pay his employees, they sold IP, I don't know if they even have an office, etc, but keeps talking about making more games. And it's been going on for so long now. Honestly, Interplay, either go like 3D0 and Acclaim and die or make some kind of magical return, waiting for some final death is getting pretty old... Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 1st September 2004 Yay? I hope someone else gets to make a good Turok and Shadowman game. Acclaim's dead. - Great Rumbler - 1st September 2004 It's kind of sad, because they used to make some great games, but not recently. Acclaim's dead. - A Black Falcon - 1st September 2004 I liked XGRA... :( Acclaim's dead. - big guy - 1st September 2004 old yeller died once actualy he was taken out back and shot in the head for saving a little boys life. Acclaim's dead. - Great Rumbler - 1st September 2004 Circle of life, man. Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 1st September 2004 Amen. Acclaim's dead. - big guy - 1st September 2004 bullshit man. if those negligent owners had been keeping him up to date on his shots instead of polishing that damned rifle the whole thing could have been avoided. this is a classic example of people trying to blame the victim and i for one won't stand for it. Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 1st September 2004 Pfft, it was totally the dog's fault... for being a dog. Acclaim's dead. - Dark Jaguar - 1st September 2004 I've never enjoyed an Acclaim game, ever. Keep in mind I never played Shadowman, which I hear is their greatest game, but what I have played always bored me. Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 1st September 2004 The first two Turoks were pretty good. And the first two Extreme G's were somewhat decent. But yes Shadowman was the best. Acclaim's dead. - Great Rumbler - 1st September 2004 NBA Jam Tournament Edition was pretty fun. Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 1st September 2004 NBA Jam was the shiznit. Acclaim's dead. - Great Rumbler - 1st September 2004 The cheat that let you dunk from anywhere on the court was awesome. Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 2nd September 2004 I loved playing as George Clinton, aka PFunk. Acclaim's dead. - A Black Falcon - 2nd September 2004 NBA Jam was awesome and TE was even better, but I'm pretty sure that Midway actually made those games, not Acclaim... though Acclaim definitely published them. I'd say that XG1 was good, but too short and easy. XG2 was great, one of the better games in that crowded genre on the N64. XG3 was okay, but totally different and not as good. And XGRA was ridiculously easy, but fun. :) Oh, and Acclaim also published the (first two anyway) quite good Burnout games, also in the racing genre... Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 2nd September 2004 Remember how Jordon wouldn't allow his likeness to appear in any video games for all those years? Something about not wanting people to be able to beat his virtual self. Acclaim's dead. - A Black Falcon - 2nd September 2004 I don't remember that, but yeah, he wasn't in NBA Jam was he... Acclaim's dead. - OB1 - 2nd September 2004 I think the first regular b-ball game he showed up in was a late-90's NBA Live game. I'm probably wrong though. |
