To celebrate the five year anniversary of the original Angry Birds trailer's release, Rovio founder Niklas Hed, and founder of animation studio Kombo Lauri Konttori (who is also current game designer and games team lead at Rovio) were interviewed on the developer's blog. In the far reaching discussion, Hed was asked where he sees Angry Birds in 300 years time.
SEGA plans to buy Angry Birds mobile game developer Rovio in a sweeping deal for $771 million because of a number of reasons. Here are a few of them.
I never played Angry Birds, never seen it live, and i'm proud. I won't eat the cereal. Birds with eyebrows i can do without.
Sega has wanted to make it big in the mobile space for the past decade anyone remember that nightmare called sonic 4
SEGA has just acquired Angry Birds studio Rovio Entertainment for $775 million, and looks to use the studio's expertise in mobile gaming.
Sega upping their own value if anyone wants to acquire them! Not just getting console expertise but mobile now as well.
Nice everything in finland is for sale. We even sold nokia and our own electricity network so global corporations can charge us from something that is made with taxpayer money.
The Japan-based entertainment conglomerate is expected to pay about $1 billion for Rovio Entertainment.
Wait, have they even made anything since then? Thought they were a one-hit wonder lol.
I like angry birds my son is mad over it.. But 300 years ?
In 300 years we will have hopefully survived a couple of zombie apocalypses and started to piece our civilisation back together. We might have to hand down some of our knowledge through verbal stories. Hope someone can remember the names of all the birds.
Seriously though, Angry Birds is a classic that whilst it may have peaked some time ago, will always hold some fun memories for those of us back in the day who excitedly bought our first iPhone 3G and went to App Store looking for fun stuff to play. AB was perfect for the early touch screen days.
So much has changed in such a short space of time.
Some of those AB toons are pretty funny too.
