Nihilistic: There’s no bigger cliché in the videogame industry right now than to say that a studio is re-organizing itself away from retail game development and toward the new challenges of downloadable and mobile games. Everyone knows retail sales are down, publishers are hurting, independent developers are suffering, blah blah blah. With this in mind, Nihilistic is announcing today that (OMG!) we are re-organizing our company after 14 years of working with retail boxed game development, and re-forming as nStigate Games, a new company focused on downloadable, on-line, and mobile games.
So is this newsworthy? Well, honestly it probably isn’t, except that we are making this transition without any planned layoffs or leaving any debts behind. Nihilistic will fade into the sunset the way it started; a collaboration of talented folks dedicated to transparency and respect for employees.
Nihilistic the developer behind the canceled Starcraft: Ghost and a bunch of PlayStation Vita shooters were also working on a God of War space for PlayStation Home.
Nihilistic..... May as well have let the late night crew at McDonalds develop the God of War space for PlayStation Home.
Dont let Nihilistic software taint the God of War franchise in any way.
Nihilistic are such bad developers that Sony should prohibit them from developing games on their system.
Do i need to remind anyone of this game again?

Poor Starcraft Ghost.... come on Blizz, Platinum would knock that out of the park. time to revisit Ghost.....
“Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified” is just one day away from launch. So where are the reviews for the Playstation Vita exclusive title? Greg Miller of IGN today revealed why his website has not yet review the first-person shooter in addition to urging gamers to “proceed with caution.”
I think we've already established that the publishers don't want the sub-games (or whatever you want to call them) interfering with the main course, that's despite Need for Speed getting great reviews and AC3 Liberation getting decent reviews and better sales.
im glad about this actually and would love it if all games were like this where a game would mostly need word of mouth and a few previews. major reviewers have a stranglehold on the gaming industry and sales most times and a lot of them need to go. id love sequels to a lot of games but sales were hurt by reviews. i cant tell the last time ive played or seen a game that warrants less than a 6 out of 10. most games cant be a 10 and most dont deserve it but a game should be pass a 5 if its playable with tight controls, good enough graphics and some semblance of a story or point to gameplay
Well if other Vita games are anything to go by the reviews will range from 4-7/10.
Eh... If they still haven't sent out review copies yet, that probably isn't a good sign.
IGN will give it a 1-4out of 10. IGN is worthless for vita reviews,so look to other sites for that. Sony has not been catering to ign.
Declassified Q and A right here.
YouTube user stricktmachine1 has been able to get his hands on the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified early, and has uploaded a number of videos containing gameplay with his phone. We asked him a few questions.
this game looks amazing like a ps3 game. i cant wait to buy it first day its out. i hope reviewers dont destroy it because its not exactly like the console version and can only see the negatives where it doesn't measure up
I've seen enough gameplay of both the 'hostiles' & 'Operations' single-player mode as well as the multiplayer for me to confirm that this is a must-buy for any owner of a Vita that is in anyway interested in CoD, first person shooters, or who wants a decent MP shooter in general for the system. :)
'Operations' mode is best suited for quick-play sessions when on the train/bus from work or something. More or less what the SP in the console CoD titles are like, just linear & very short missions that you can continuously replay to gain a better score than your friends. Most certainly not the 'meat' of the game but still nice to have anyway.
'Hostiles' mode is suited for same quick-play sessions but can also be played in much longer in-depth sessions due to an never-ending continious wave system. See how long you can survive, ya know :)
'Multiplayer', It's Call of Duty MP on the Vita. Need I say more? tons & tons & tons of hours of gameplay time here. & even when you've unlocked everything, you can then prestige like on the console CoD titles & do it all over again.
I'm telling you. if you own a Vita, pre-order or purchase this title asap. You don't want to be missing out on this! very well made title, runs like a champ at locked 30fps, props to Nihilistic! :D
@Akuma-
Like a ps3 game WTF?....no,like a good ps2 game and 30fps not 60fps.

No different?...fanboys,fanboys..
They should leave development all together
Hopefully they go out with a bang with BLOPS:declassified
Good, I was not impressed with their work. Amazing that COD of was given to them...
Good. The only time I hear their name is in hushed tones accompanied by the words "garbage" "s**t" and "who?".
they know black ops is gonna be just like resistance burning skies so they are bowing out early.
