Sounds like a smart move.

Codemasters......just stick to racing games, you make those brilliantly but your shooters just suck.....really badly.

perfectCarbonara5329d ago

That's the state of game development these days. You only have one life.

Unless your Mario that is.

I remember Black (one developer honcho) called Killzone 3's graphics an ass.. Karma's a bitch..

He said the controls were, not the graphics.

DARK WITNESS5329d ago

the irony of it is that bodycount had some of the worst control schemes for an fps.

the zoom function on the guns just felt off. why not just have a full iron sight. and then the whole crouch and lean thing but you could not move forward or back.

whoever created those controls, they really killed the game.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr35328d ago

He also left the project shortly after those comments. So only him and Codemasters really know if he got a dose of ironic luck called karma.

I always have mixed feelings when I read about studio closures. On one hand, I'm glad there will be fewer developers making lousy games, but on the other I realize that these are people who have to make a living and may even have to support families.

labaronx5329d ago

these are trying times for developers

create something original and it's met with caution

create something similar in an overcrowded genre and expect it to be judged hasrshly

someone has to come up with something for these devs to target, maybe have them focus on vita and 3ds titles before full closures

Runs okay, but textures look like an Xbox game.
