Redtribe isn't a development company that makes too many headlines, but the relatively new studio is one of the biggest in Australia and has just finished work on Looney Tunes: ACME Arsenal for Warner Bros Interactive. VideoGamer.com caught up with Chris Mosely, Chief Executive Office at Redtribe to discuss how the new studio is getting on in this most tricky of industries.
Some questions from the interview:
- Can adults enjoy Looney Tunes: ACME Arsenal or it is a kid's game?
- Has it been hard to create a game to the strengths of X360, Wii and PS2?
- Is the lack of a PS3 version anything to do with budget constraints?
- From a game development point of view what makes for better games: increasing power of hardware or new, innovative controllers?
Cars Mater-National
"This game will leave you feeling hollow, miserable and longing for the days when it all MEANT something. If you're a small child add two points. Or, if you really REALLY like talking cars, six."
Score: 5/10
Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal
"When you're not engaged in rubbish combat you'll find yourself endlessly jumping over gaps, solving tedious puzzles and bashing open crates. Visually the game is flat and lifeless, the graphics seemingly inspired by the dullest of the Looney Tunes cartoons."
Score: 3/10
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
"The Eternal Night is too difficult for kids and too frustrating for adults, and should be avoided by everyone."
Score: 4/10
Ben 10: Protector of Earth
"There's nothing here to appeal to adults, or anyone who isn't a Ben 10 fan. But if you know one of those, this is a great present - and at under GBP 20 it's a reasonably priced one, too."
Score: 5/10
Yeah it was my first post ever here. Why is it annoying to people / worth a ban? With all the flaming and console vs console stuff I read on here, a simple FIRST! should be the least of peoples concerns. Jeez... already getting in crap and haven't been a member for a day yet. Glad I joined! Thanks for the heads up n e ways.
Gemaga counts down the ten worst games of 2007. These appalling games have earned the lowest average scores at GameRankings during the year.
Look at the consoles of these games (From the pics):
1.Wii
2.DS
3.PC
4.Wii
5.DS
6.Wii
7.DS
8.DS
9.DS
10.PS2
The analysis:
1. No Anubis 2 or Balls of Fury.
2. Wii and DS have the biggest number of games on the list and are the best selling consoles ATM. So, to have your console sell better than rivals, make as many ZZZ games for it as possilbe (Common beliefe that AAA games help sell console are proved to be wrong here).
Millions of dollars in marketing bribes to gaming sites saved Halo 3 from making these lists:
* Sub HD graphics - can only run at 640p and not 720p like real next gen games
* Crappy last gen looking graphics - oh look! Gaudy shiny coloured metal!
* Jaggies all over the place
* Huge framerate problems
* No dedicated servers
* Laggy P2P networking
* Can only manage 16 players per online game
* Only 6-7 hour single player
You have to imagine Bungie knew that Microsoft was going go nuts with the marketing bribes for review scores and didn't even bother trying to make a decent game.
but i guess there are far more games that suck than that. and 80% of that list are nintendo games. what up with that? are the only good nintendo games mario and zelda related?
[edit]nvm, thats a 2007 list
Redtribe is one of the leading developers in Australia and is responsible for Warner Bros Interactive's Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal. Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Chris Mosely, Chief Executive Office at Redtribe, offered his thoughts on next-gen development.
"Redtribe was one of the very first in Australia to develop for next-gen and we initially spent two years developing our engine," said Mosely. "The move for us was very smooth, as our engine is constantly developed and refined on pc and then is ported across. Our engineering teams have been working on the PS3 for a year with very few issues."
The absence of ACME Arsenal on PS3 is said to be nothing to do with performance issues, with Mosely citing the console's smaller install base as the deciding factor.
this game got a 10 from 1up !!!!
out of 100.
at there's one platforming game available for 360.
Good riddance!!! we dont need last gen games like this, interfering with real Next-Gen games like Killzone 2, Uncharted, etc..
