How Luke Hodorowicz Banished Sim City

Dan Grilipolous interviews Luke Hodorowicz, the one-man developer of indie hit 'Banished'.

“I think what helped us most is that all the press was there for Sim City and maybe because it was a disappointment to all the people who played Sim City 4 that they were looking for something new to play to fill that gap.

Need for Speed as well. Here's to hope that the new one will be a return to form for the franchise.

Dead Space was the worst ruining... micro transactions in a full price game, with co op that was mandatory to get all the story and access to certain areas. Sure Rock Band was oversaturated, and Burnout was basically killed off even though it sold a ton on PS3 back in the day.

Wow kudos EA! no one can kill a franchisee like you can kill a franchises.

lptmg2802d ago

Sadly, Rock Band died because of Activision shoving one Guitar Hero every 3 months

Madden Football 2006-2018 2018-?

showtimefolks2803d ago

PhoenixUp2803d ago

Dead Space, NBA Live, & Rock Band

I really liked Burnout and Need for speed and thought no one will able to destroy this game.....I was WRONG!
