BonusXP is working on Servo, a sci-fi strategy game. Half of the development team are real-time strategy vets who used to work at Ensemble Studios.
Publisher Stardock today announced Servo, a fast-paced real-time strategy title being created by ex-Ensemble developers BonusXP.
OXM UK: "It's heart-breaking when a development studio responsible for a game or series that you love closes down. Often, you'll remember them for the good times - the stand-out, stellar high points of their career - and not the decisions or titles that ultimately doomed them. Inevitably though, some studios come to be defined by their final release."
Is Team Bondi really a "celebrity developer", though? Granted, they received the automatic extra-enthused approval that anything remotely Rockstar-related seems to get from the press, but they only created ONE game before falling apart ~5 months later.
IDK, that just seems a bit hasty, calling them "celebrity developers"
Looking back at the RTS maker in light of Age of Empires 2 HD's release on Steam.
This will be on Xbox i guarantee thanx to MS efforts to bring PC games to Xbox and vice versa. Love that whole one eco system thing
Awesome....At least the used to work at Ensemble, so there are original people connected to it.
Bruce Shelly involved is good and comparisons to Age of Mythology + Warcraft 3 is also good.
