40,000 SouthPeak Games Seized By UK Court

Ex: The bitter struggle between game publisher SouthPeak (Two Worlds II, TNA iMPACT!) and distribution partner CDV has taken many unexpected turns, but today the outlook for SouthPeak begins to look especially grim.

Let's get everyone caught up first. Try to follow along as it's a bit messy.

That's alot of crappy games.

killyourfm5022d ago

and for a huge publisher, not a big deal. But for a publisher who didn't even clear $200k in Q3, pretty devastating.

Queasy5022d ago

Yeah, they were barely in business as it was.

Neco5125022d ago

Ah, stop hatin. Dementium II was actually really good. So was...um...hmmm....

Spenok5021d ago

You forgot the first Dementium lol.

Christopher5022d ago

That's also a lot of people who might be unemployed soon... and after all that work on making up for Two Worlds with the sequel...

killyourfm5022d ago

Agreed, the sequel does honestly look pretty awesome.

Spenok5021d ago

It does. Lets hope it at least gets released. It looks to be something at least worth playing.

shadowdancer5022d ago

This company has consistently put out crap.

killyourfm5022d ago

Well, there's still real people involved who probably stand to lose a lot after this.

PirateThom5022d ago

The downside is, they're distributing 3D Dot Game Heroes in Europe. An already rare game becomes impossible to find.

AssassinHD5022d ago

You could always just try importing it. PS3 games are region free after all.

monkey nuts5022d ago

I'm looking at a copy of it right now, albeit standing next to my tv. Looks like my initial investment of £30 may appreciate greatly in the next few months. Capitol!

"A UK court ruling found in favor of CDV to the tune of $3.4 million. In a move that could be hailed as evil genius, Southpeak responded by purchasing development studio IRP which was owed money by CDV. Then, claiming that CDV now owed them $6 million,"

LOL thats brilliant

RockmanII75022d ago

Oh no, what will we ever do without X-blades 2. Seriously though, its a shame that people will likely get laid off for this.

After Nine Years, Two Worlds II Gets Final Single-Player Expansion Next Month

Topware Interactive will deliver the final piece of single-player DLC for its 2010 RPG Two Worlds II early next month.

winter_hill1616d ago

I enjoyed this game on my X360, much better than the first one. Sucks we have to wait so long for TW3. I hope they port this game to PS4/X1 in the meantime, especially after all these updates and new expansions. Would certainly help build some hype for the third entry, at least a little.

rawshack1615d ago

Yes it's a very underrated games I'm all so hoping it gets port to ps4 one day

MadLad1614d ago

Guess they're officially done milking the only passable game they've released. They can always rename Raven's Cry again and pull a couple more sales from the unknowing public.

Played this on PS3 it wasn’t bad for a B game but in no way did it “offer an array of unique approaches to classic game elements” and sure as hell didn’t push any envelopes. Why release this multiplayer so many years later ? They should re-release for this gen consoles for 19.99 with the updates

winter_hill2065d ago

I enjoyed this game, much better than the first one. With Two Worlds 3 coming next year, I would love to see a remaster of this on current gen.

lol what ? i thought this 2010/2011 game was dead already and now they are adding micro transactions ?? at least as the article said they are adding dlcs.

MadLad2496d ago (Edited 2496d ago )

From the same people that provided me a review copy of Raven's Cry then, when I gave the game a 1 due to the fact I found it unfinished, threatened me with defamation (nothing ever happened there).
Then, when they re-released the game on Steam as "Vendetta" claimed everything was fixed (even though it wasn't broken in the first place, right), but then refused to give me code for the re-release.

That re-release sits at a highly negative status on Steam, with most claiming they can't even run the game.
Just saying.

TheColbertinator2496d ago

Raven's Cry was broken. Everything gaming shouldn't be.

MilkMan2496d ago

Huh? I thought this game was done and done?
