GS:Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford says "Sega's got to figure that out" regarding upcoming Nintendo version of first-person shooter.
Too many games aren't given a second shot. We at VGU choose which games we would love to see receive a sequel.
The Saboteur - criminally underrated and a fantastic mechanic of bringing colour back to Nazi-occupied Paris.
The article lists Bulletstorm, Sleeping Dogs, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Player 2 takes some quiet time to look back at some of the most hyped failures of the past 10 years.
Can't argue with any of those really, but I would add Resident Evil Operation Racoon City and Metal Gear Survive to that list. Both terrible games from good franchises.
Bulletstorm, I actually liked the gameplay but the atrocious writing and characters made me despise the game by the end of it.
Thanks to a bustling mod community on Steam, Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial Marines actually has a stellar multiplayer experience to offer these days.
I doubt it. If I was Sega, I'd be more interested in deciphering what went wrong with the other versions first. I'd also want to know what happened along the development cycle, and with the money they were issued.
Is this satire? Please tell me this is satire. I did NOT just read what he said. Seriously does this guy have any honor at all?
If Sega would be willing to take a few million and invest into fixing what went wrong with the other versions, they could technically save themselves and the game, but I think a name-change would be needed to clean off the slate a bit. If I knew that the Wii U version fixed all that was wrong with the other versions (like Team Ninja did with Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge), I'd still buy it for Wii U.
But the chances of that happening are slim to none, in which case, I'd hope Sega just cans the game.
Don't bother Pitchford. Even the Wii U doesn't deserve that terrible game.
I love how the commercial shows a Wii U version, yet now it's at "We'll see" status.
