After Midway,it seems even Acclaim realized making at least decent games is a better way to survive.

Legends of Wrestling and Combat Elite seem like ok games,Juiced and Red Star are even great,100 Bullets still sucks probobly.

With even crappiest publishers delivering buyworthy(Red Star will be mine) games,ATARI is the only big one with bad track record on consoles.

How can they afford not to?

Well,they could still try to go 19.99$ way Crave went,or something.

I ment big/middle sized ones,plus Titus is bankrupt and laid off most of thier staff

Murph I believe Titus is dead now.

I don't know if Acclaim should get credit for Juiced... wasn't it being worked on before they picked it up? Unlike Namco's SRS which seems to be showing some nice improvements since Namco picked it up I'm not sure what Acclaims involvement with Juiced has done.

 

[drohne]

the red star kicks ass. internally developed too.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Speaking of Juiced, it'd probably be a good time to change that name. You know with the OJ thing and all.

Juiced is being made inhouse by a new team made up by former Rage employees,or so i think

Yes I know but I thought Juiced was being worked on by that team before Acclaim picked them up?.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Juiced is being made by a developer called "Juice Games", at least thats what the site says.

 

[Meier]

Juiced was AWFUL at E3 -- I have no clue where you got the idea it was great. The Red Star was pretty rad though.

Bring back the glory days of Turok 2 and Rage Wars

IF they made a good Turok 2 game on the new consoles i would be hooked.

 

[bishoptl]

Red Star wasn't bad at all. Showdown is still their best upcoming title. 100 bullets was painful to watch, let alone play - let's take all the good stuff from GTA and Max Payne and twist into a horrible, jaggified, unrecognizable mess.

 

[Meier]

Yeah, 100 Bullets was terrible. They had this other top-down game that had characters that kinda looked like Metal Slug guys (some army themed name) that sucked too.

 

[bishoptl]

The WW2 shooter! That was hilarious - "We're paying homage to our fighting forefathers with this true-to-life war adventure depicting the heroic battles of World War II"...and then it looks and plays like this:

 

[Meier]

Yeah 1 hit and you were dead or some shit. I was like wtf?!

 

[LakeEarth]

It won't last. Back in the early N64 days Acclaim had a streak of decent to great games coming out (Turok, premiere of Extreme G, etc) but then after Turok 2 they pretty much went back to the way they were before, making 'gems' such as Armorines and ECW Anarchy Rulz!!!

 

[Suerte]

Midway made MK Mythologies?

 

[LakeEarth]

I'm stupid, sorry, I'll fix it.

Sorry, I just got back into MK2 for my SNES, and that was Acclaimed published, and my brain kinda skipped a beat.
