When do NPD come out today?
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
Sometime after six. Neogaf will implode, and we will probably have to get them from a different source like gameindustry.biz, next-gen.biz, mcvuk, or gamasutra.
Hurrrr durrr huurrr? DUR HUR DURRR? DURKA DURKA DURKA!
To continue the last thread,
"Dear Midway, I've heard that you're fucked. It was nice knowing you, thanks for all the shovelware and mediocre games."
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
Ah yeah, forgot about them.
How'd those sell? I heard Blitz was fairly good I think. Not a sports-game fan though, personally.
Blitz League II came out last year, iirc.
When did the last Hitz game even come out?
Steam ID: slashx000______Twitter: @bill_at_zeboyd______ Facebook: Zeboyd Games
I don't think I'm as harsh on Midway, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why Blitz would be considered Midway's saving grace.
If it is, they truly are fucked.
IIRC 2005 was NHL Hitz Pro.
They revamped the game to play 5 on 5 instead of 3 on 3 and managed to ditch a lot of the features in the process.
That was also the year of NFL Blitz Pro (before EA bought exclusivity to the NFL) which also had gutted features and player models that took up 3/4's of the field and could jump 20 ft in the air making every pass an interception.
Neither game sold all that well.
Blitz sold horribly.
Derp derp derp.
Really? They've done several versions these past 10? years. I like football and Blitz was a great alternative to Madden. It was much more arcadey. It felt a bit like Mutant League Football.
It was good multiplayer, and the ability to hit your friends players whenever you wanted for whatever reason and not having to worry about a flag was awesome. Blitz: The League was what kept my XBox around for well after it would have been relegated to the closet.
It will be sad to see Midway go. I wouldn't be surprised however to see them sell of lose everything, but Mortal Kombat around. I think that franchise is still making money. Have there been any good games for it these past few years?
"Read twice, post once. It's almost like 'measure twice, cut once' only with reading." - MetaverseNomad
Some of the Blitz versions may have done okay, but they were never a threat to Madden (or 2K Sports, for that matter) and the most recent version was a huge bomb.
Damn raisins.
No, they weren't a threat, but they were fun and could have done well.
So, Midway filed for Chapter 11 this morning. The question still remains of what studios they end up getting rid of. I'm sure that Midway itself isn't going anywhere and the MK team in Chicago is probably not moving.

Yow. On the plus side, fiscal 2009 should look pretty awesome.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Durka durka.
All they have to do is get that and Epic Games...
And then they can be Square-Enix++

D3's ability to release dozens and dozens of mostly crappy budget PS2 games (and some great ones) has always had my respect, and I hope that they are able to draw upon the dev and marketing prowess of Bandai Namco to reinvigorate their budget game lines.
As for the Sega arcades closing, I just hope it's a consolidation of things, and not a sign of the whole arcade scene dying. When I was in Tokyo, we visited quite a few Sega arcades and it was a lot of fun ... and still pretty popular!

Well, I'm a huge fan of Dave and Buster's. Then again they're only in bigger cities.
They're also stupidly expensive (unless you know of some deals the rest of us can take advantage of.)
NintendoID: Nailbunny 3DS: 3909-8796-4685
Half-price Wednesdays, my friend. Then things are downright reasonable as far as games go.
I dunno, their food's a little pricey, but most of it's actually good stuff.
Then again silly me is on a quest to win enough tickets to get a PS3. All I need are 98,000 tickets, how hard could it be? :P
Edit: What a horrible top of page. Curses.
Yup.
Been referring to it as that for the past month or so.
Cool.
Unless Activision is stupid enough to put the hammer down at Blizzard (and I'm guessing there were enough provisions put in the buyout contract to keep that from happening), they won't.
"Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits?" Are they really that goddamn desperate to rape the franchise?
This is what's known as a rhetorical question, right?
Do not engage the Watermelons.
We're already starting to see greatest hit shit when they merely doubled the number of Guitar Hero games. What can they possibly do to milk it more? Guitar Hero: Tony Hawk?
It'll never happen.
I'm playing Apollo Justice and whenever he double takes I associate it with you.

No, I want respect. Which is why I'm now associating myself with a mutant cartoon monkey grinning like an idiot.
(Actually, I was getting sick of the constant movement.)
Boo-urns.
Anyway. NPD day, and I don't expect much out of the ordinary. I think the biggest news will be the establishing of a hard trend for the PS3 via YoY sales decline.
