Sad to hear this from such a talented studio.

Sad to hear this from such a talented studio.

All there is to say.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

That sucks. Hope the employees can find new paths to explore.

Microsoft acquisition incoming?

Probably on Wednesday

 

[Ozzie666]

Sega did warn us the other day, it's unfortunate and the developer deserves better, they deserve a better parent company. Viking battle for Asgard on X360 was a guilty pleasure.
The company has been around a lot longer then I thought and it's bigger than I thought.

 

[KyoZz]

CA is so poorly managed that it's almost unreal. Although layoffs are always sad to hear, I hope they get their shit together.

 

[LiquidJensen]

Oh no, what would we ever do without The Space Drag Queen Game?!

 

[Klosshufvud]

They haven't made a good TW since FOTS and Hyenas showed their true colors. They wanted an exit card into an early retirement.

 

[ahtlas7]

I remember when CA equalled excitement.

 

[rofif]

Talented studio. I personally hated alien game with all my souls as it was a hide and seek game stretched to 20 hours…. But it was still quality.

 

[Virex]

Microsoft acquisition incoming?

They belong to Sega. So Microsoft will have to buy Sega as well

Alien Isolation was one of the best games last gen, so sad.

 

[Sybrix]

Microsoft acquisition incoming?

Hope so.

Should have had Medieval 3 already.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I feel for the devs but this is like the third thread we're having on this lol.

 

[Virex]

Unless SEGA sells them to Microsoft

Like Squeenix did with Crystal Dynamics

Next Wednesday

 

[Facism]

it's a big shame. They've been fumbling Warhammer Total War 3 hard when it comes to DLC.

 

[STARSBarry]

Honestly I can't blame SEGA for this, they where currently working in HYENA's which from the trailer was just a rehash of Lawbreakers, even had the whole "gravity changes" gimic.

And it just looked soulless and fucking awful. I get it, everyone wants their own fortnite. But the era of shitting out a GaaS shooter has passed, the next big thing will be something different. You can't capitalise that by just chasing a now half decade old trend.

 

[RAIDEN1]

The bigger question is will we EVER get an Alien Isolation 2?

 

[Arachnid]

Sad to hear. They should have made it big with AI. One of the best horror games of all time and I'll be replaying it just like Silent Hill 2 for the forseeable future.

 

[StueyDuck]

phil spencer rubbing his pickle seeing this news.

 

[Hudo]

As long as I get my Total War: Empire II or Total War: WW1...

 

[Honey Bunny]

Rocksteady will be here in a bit when their shitty gaas shooter flops

 

[T_T]

Hopefully they get more hands on deck on Warhammer 3. Going from WH2 to that was a travesty.

 

[Elog]

I do not understand CA at all. The product that is making the most money for them - TW WH series - is seeing less investment even though good DLCs sell incredible well for them (the last DLC was shameful). They would furthermore make an incredible amount of money from a new iteration of TW Medieval with a more or less complete Europe+ map. The same goes for a proper bronze age game but then they do a weird variant thereof with Pharaoh.

Strategically there are some very strange decisions in terms of resource allocation. Feels like too many suits with powerpoint presentations calling the shots.
