In an interview granted to the newspaper the Expansion, Jean-Claude Larue, delegated general of the trade union of the software publishers of leisure (SELL), explains the difficulties encountered by the French editors and stresses that the development cost of an increasingly high video game currently amounts with nearly 130 million euros to which "the bad management of certain editors is added", in particular concerning the requests for emanating refunding of the loans of the banks and to which the company cannot face "It is necessary to pay attention, bus Infogrames is the Titus of tomorrow".

Didn't they recently sell off its Civilization franchise to someone? Anyone know who bought it? was it EA?

Not that I like EA, but Sid and Will Wright kinda should be under the same roof.
 
The buyer of the Civ franchise was undisclosed (the rumor is Firaxis).


Does Infrogrames still have a crappy logo with a rainbow-colored armadillo on it? (Especially the old version)

Nope, Atari=Infogrames now.
 
I always thought it was INFOgrames. Now the name is even wierder.

Thanks!

Well, someone else'll want the Atari brand...maybe Jakks Pacific will buy it fully and just re-release branded retro hardware?

Yep, it was Firaxis. They are currently busy working on, wait for it, Civilization IV! Yeah, you heard it right, Civ is back with the guys it should've been with from the start.

And about Infogrames.... Tough luck I guess... Just as long as I get my next UT, Transformers, Rollercoaster Tycoon and Locomotion (expansion or sequel) games.

What's up with Melborne house at Infogrames? They were making some really good racers a few years back.
My Dreamcast made mad love to me when I slotted Le mans 24 under its hood.

True story.

they made the recent transformers game, which got OK reviews and people seem to like. i've personally rejected any positive opinions of it, however, because it's transformers and people really, really can't seem to be rational about that property.
 
Oh yeah... Midway has Unreal.... Just got that memory back from somewhere in the back of my head...

Oh, and Ferricide... Transformers is, even though you think people can't be rational, a really great game. It looks fantastic (graphically it has done almost everything right), sounds great (the voices and special effects fit in) and it plays right. The extra's are funny though, especially those Public Service Announcements. It's a pretty hard game though, even on easy, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Camera is not perfect, but gets the job done.. You should give it a try...

What a waste, from TDLE manns on DC and GPC F1 on PS2 to that?

WOAW! Let'em die then :lol

You should give it a try too then... There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.... It even does the ragdoll physics right imo... But there is no sense in bashing it without knowing how the game plays and feels...

I am not some crazy Transformers fan (although I do have a few figures and have Season 1 on DVD), but even without the TF licence it would've been a fun game. With the TF style it only delivers a lot better.
