That's good news, but I wonder if the shuttered studio will still get money from the pc version...

ATi_Elite4312d ago

What money? No one is interested in Prototype 2!

The first one was mediocre and this one is just a crappy console port.

I suggest they make some great mod outta Prototype 2 then maybe they will garner sales and get back into the business as an Indie dev!

Getting released from Activision is a blessing cause now they are free to create.

Mariusmssj4311d ago

I will buy Prototype 2 with pleasure!

Skate-AK4312d ago

Man just like Bizzare Creations. Their game drops then Activision dumps the studio.

Psychotica4312d ago

Hope it doesn't need a patch now that there isn't anybody to create it

dazzrazz4312d ago

100% it will, I can't think of not even one game released in last couple of years that did not needed patch after release date

Basjohn4312d ago

While you're right for the most part I think the major hope is "NEED". The real fear arn't common bugs but anything game/progression breaking and that's what we need to be worried about.

On the plus side, many games have gotten community patches over the years so if worst comes to worst we'll wait on that miracle.

Reborn4312d ago

Of course not. They put money into developing it. If they wish to have a chance of getting any of it back (we all know what Bobbys like) they'll continue with it.

A shame the studio had to close, jobs lost. However, soon all Activision will have is Blizzard, and COD studios. (if they don't already o.o)

Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.

MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.

Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.

Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.

Abriael72d ago

Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."

Eonjay70d ago

"Microsoft allowed to probe Sony and Ubisoft"

Sounds hot...

ApocalypseShadow71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.

Abriael71d ago

Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.

S2Killinit71d ago

He is pointing out how corrupt MS is, and how money talks. I think.

KwietStorm_BLM71d ago

I would say read between the lines but it's pretty damn clear as it is.

Bathyj71d ago

You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.

TornRaptor71d ago

The games will become the best things ever all of a sudden.

Bathyj71d ago

Yeah I really doubt that.
I'm struggling to think of one I really cared about missing.

Hofstaderman71d ago

Bwhahahaha. Ain't that the truth.

Mr_cheese71d ago

The only exclusive im personally interested in from Microsoft is Elderscrolls and that's not even got s release date.

Everything else is genuinely of none interest.

OtterX71d ago

Microsoft never waits for the probing to be consensual.

derek71d ago

This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.

Sephiroushin71d ago

they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
