Rumour: Rockstar New England Working on 360 Exclusive

Split-screen: "Rockstar New England, formerly Mad Doc Studios and developers of Bully: Scholarship Edition and the Empire Earth franchise, have been having one of those years. While last month's layoffs hit hard, rendering 'at least 10 percent of the studio' redundant, they came after news that the company was working on an unannounced title. However, this is not the case."

"Created as a contrast to The Agent, coming exclusively to the Playstation 3?"

wouldnt be surprise

Applegate5393d ago

Great, now watch this come out even before The Agent.

Statix5393d ago

Mad Doc Software? Last I heard, Surfer Girl the rumor blogger said that they were working on SWAT 5. Unfortunately, the project was scrapped. It sure would kick ass if the project were on again, but I doubt it.

Not sure if this studio would've done the series justice like 2K Boston did anyway.

theEnemy5393d ago

PlayStation 3 - Agent

Xbox360 - Double Agent

;P

MGOelite5393d ago

at least give some evidence not just "our sources"

heroicjanitor5393d ago (Edited 5393d ago )

They should say "our guess", becaue we all know they thought it sounded reasonable and took a stab in the dark.

If they are right they will keep reminding us, if they aren't they'll forget they ever said it.

Edit: Ok then you're tracked, let's see how tomorrow turns out

Nike5393d ago (Edited 5393d ago )

Hence filed under "Rumours" and not "News". The man in question specializes in 360 development as good as PS3 and PC development. But yeah, there is another unannounced game from these guys.

@heroicjanitor: Cool. Won't disappoint.

Cajun Chicken5393d ago

Yeah, but isn't the main talented one; Rockstar North making Agent?

Xi5393d ago (Edited 5393d ago )

I would say the main talent came from David jones, the founder of the GTA franchise and lemmings who left R* to start real-time worlds.

Not to mention with how much of the fanbase of this site seems to think that GTA4 lacks much of the quality and polish of it's predessors, I wouldn't call R* north the talented one.

But in reality I suspect that almost all the studios work with one another to ensure a solid release of whatever it is they develop.

GiantEnemyCrab5393d ago

Tell me we are not going to start on that "b team" sh*t again with this are we?

Way to go Cajun!

Elven65393d ago

Rockstar doesn't work on a single project 100% anymore, projects are broken up into different pieces and farmed out to studios who excel at said piece.

Even a game like GTA 4 was developed by multiple studios, those who were better at one thing got to develop it, etc. If you look at Rockstar's track record this generation, it hasn't failed them by any means so more power to them.

The Xbox Empire5393d ago

If you had played Bully, you would know Rockstar New England is very good too.

Statix5393d ago (Edited 5393d ago )

All of a sudden, little-known Mad Doc Studios (before they joined Rockstar and ported Bully to 360) is as talented as the developers of the GTA series? Sounds more like wishful thinking to me.

Xi5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

But I honestly don't think R* north is half as talented it used to be.

The truth is I haven't bought a R* game in the last 6 years because I personally think they all suck nuts.

Jaces5392d ago

I played Bully and it was "meh" at best.

Fun but nothing special. Heh...would be funny to see them pull out Bully 2: The college years.

ginganinja5392d ago (Edited 5392d ago )

R* north has been responsible for all the GTA games, which is what they're known for.
GTA III, the one that really set them up and became the open-world game everyone's tried to copy since, was done after Jones left - not saying he's not talented, but to suggest the team without him are poor is a little myopic.
You might not have played a R* North game since, but millions have.

I was also a little underwhelmed by GTA IV. There's no denying it's a quality game, it was more the story and content felt too heavy for a GTA game. Too much Godfather, not enough Tom and Jerry.

maxcer5392d ago

wait a second... I thought i remembered back in February when Lost&Dammed came out that most fanboys said GTAIV wasn't any good? now that they are doing Agent they are considered the top tier developers at R*? i don't get it...

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Friendlygamer39m ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro5h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B3h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21833h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh2h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia2h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins3h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal2h ago

The first game was the best imo.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
