Exactly how many studios has Activision actually closed this generation? THIS many

GamesRadar:

So Activision closed another studio last week. This time it was Prototype and Prototype 2 developer Radical Entertainment. It had been in business for 17 years before being bought by Activision. Afterwards, it lasted just 4. I wasn't surprised by any of this.

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville24d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Sierra made the games of my childhood. Are they still fun to play?

Get ready for some nostalgia.

Yes,
and I absolutely loved the logo of Sierra for some reason.
Maybe, mainly because of F.E.A.R. 😈

EXACTLY what i was thinking!! My thoughts immediately went to FEAR as soon as i read Sierra.

Eidolon28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Did they develop it? I thought it was Monolith.

Notellin28d ago

In video games there are two logos that appear before the title screen. One is the publisher and one is the developer.

In your question, Monolith is the developer so the logo they are speaking about is the one for Sierra, the publisher.

Hope this helps.

gurp29d ago

yes, everyone or at least most people should try to play some of them
I never played any 80s games, but played most of the 90's and early 2000's Sierra games

Played a lot of Sierra games as a kid and teenager. Fun times
