Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios has no plans to develop games for the Wii U due to the small install base, according to studio founder Christofer Sundberg.
After six months of negotiating, Avalanche Studios staff have successfully unionized with a new two-year collective bargaining agreement.
Avalanche Studios co-founder has revealed new information about the canceled Iron Man game that was in development for two years.
Damn ... now that he mentioned it, Avalanche would've done an interesting job with an Iron-Man open world project.
They don't have the best writers, but they know how to make an enjoyable and engaging open world game.
They feel a lot like Obsidian back in the day. Great developer that's always scraping by and constantly getting screwed by publishers.
Well the most enjoyable part of just cause for me was the jet suit in 3. Played exclusively with it.
Stuff like this just happens. This game was cancelled, there was a Superman game that was cancelled, Justice League, Flash game, 2 Batman games, Avengers game, Daredevil game, Spider-Man 4, Marvel Universe Online, etc etc.
I don't doubt that there will be more in the future cancelled. And more future super hero games released that will be great.
From Gematsu: "Elemental Games, a Stockholm-based studio formed in August 2021 by founding members of Avalanche Studios including co-founders Linus and Viktor Blomberg, has officially announced its establishment.
The studio, which is privately held, has a mission to create “high-quality open-world experiences from a creatively and financially independent position.” Its first title, an original intellectual property, is currently in development."
We'll see what comes from this.
Always considered them a middle of the road developer.
Avalanche always made fun games, just nothing truly impressive.
Uh, I am just saying. If you look at the 360/PS3 sales the first year the install base (more so for PS3) was not very large. So if developers choose to do this that is their mistake. Even if Wii U has only sold 5 Million by the time PS4/720 come out, well that is 5 million more consoles already owned when the others will have to play catch up for the install base. Also when those systems are released Nintendo will FINALLY have some better AAA titles that will make people want to pick one up. It will be an interesting Holiday season for sure.
smh... Wii U isnt getting any kind of support it seems
it'll pull threw!
Yet they're making games for PS4 and Xbox 3 which currently have no install base...
Wii u will be fine I think. They won't have as many 3rd party heavy hitters as ps4 or 720 tho. I really believe the wii u will produce some great looking first party titles. I'm not saying mario will save the day but I think when the wii u shows a game that looks stellar people will come around. I'm looking forward to a new zelda and I'm sure it will be better than any zelda before it.
