RIP Game Republic. Folklore was a damn good game. Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom was pretty cool too. Youre games may not have been the best but they were certainly unique.

RIP Factor 5. I never will get a new Rogue Squadron.charizard1605
As godly as Rogue Leader 2 was, it was clear as day by Rogue Squadron 3 that they were running out of ideas. I mean the f*cking battle of hoth AGAIN? AGAIN? They were fantastic games, but man did they use the license in some lame ways beyond all the cool ships you got to use.

Anyway my pick is Bizarre Creations, because I don't care much for racing games, but PGR 4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>like all of them this gen. That game was awesome.

Rare: Contrary to the idiot collective of System Wars who insist on being wrong all the time. Rare actually did plenty of good stuff under microsoft. Viva Pinata was f*cking awesome, and I adore what Nuts and Bolts was doing. And now they are the Kinect Sports company. *sigh*

Starbreeze: Escape from Butcher Bay would make a pretty damn good case for having one of the all time best FPS campaigns, and I love what they did with the original Darkness. And then they made Syndicate. I'm gonna assume it's all downhill from here.

I also agree about Bizarre Creations and Rare. I really liked Viva Pinata and LOVED Nuts & Bolts.

Rest in peace, Ensemble. As sh!tty as Age of EMpires 3 was, they were a f*cking great studio.

Also Factor 5, Pandemic, Raven (they make Call of Duty maps now, they may as well be dead), RARE, Bizzare, and others I'm sure I forgot.

RIP Factor 5. I never will get a new Rogue Squadron.charizard1605
We need a franchise based on Clone Wars, not GCW. Only reason people don't like CW is because of how bad the prequels were. The actual lore-wise, I always found CW more epic, not even comparable to puny Rebellion. My picks are Bizarre Ensemble Pandemic

R.I.P Free radical :(

Free Radical never made a Battlefront game. They were supposed to make SWBF3, but they never did. It was Pandemic that made the original two.

Thanks a pissing bunch Crytek for buying them and not even release a HD collection. WTF was the point in buying them, when you just make them make pointless stuff instead of Timesplitters 4. Herp derp not too many people will buy timesplitters in this day and age, lets make Homefront 2 cause gamers realy want that!

As godly as Rogue Leader 2 was, it was clear as day by Rogue Squadron 3 that they were running out of ideas. I mean the f*cking battle of hoth AGAIN? AGAIN? They were fantastic games, but man did they use the license in some lame ways beyond all the cool ships you got to use.

Anyway my pick is Bizarre Creations, because I don't care much for racing games, but PGR 4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>like all of them this gen. That game was awesome.

Rare: Contrary to the idiot collective of System Wars who insist on being wrong all the time. Rare actually did plenty of good stuff under microsoft. Viva Pinata was f*cking awesome, and I adore what Nuts and Bolts was doing. And now they are the Kinect Sports company. *sigh*

Starbreeze: Escape from Butcher Bay would make a pretty damn good case for having one of the all time best FPS campaigns, and I love what they did with the original Darkness. And then they made Syndicate. I'm gonna assume it's all downhill from here.

For Starbreeze,most of the original team left for MachineGames,so thats why they haven,t been the same.
