Metroid Prime Devs Sign With EA

WTF :o

Hopefully EA don't mess with the talent

Ninty lost one huge dev, they don't care though (the MP series didn't sell that good)

Edit: link!

yeah I was lying :roll:

1) No Link

2) Every MP in the trilogy has been a millions seller :lol:

WAIW

obviously, when you compare to the new low-budget million seller casual trash (those carnival games, wiifit, and so on)

I can't believe it! What the hell is nintendo doing? Don't limit these developers to doing your old franchise only! Allow them to work, push your hardware, and come up with new ideas!!! But I guess they don't get it. That's why I got my a ps3 and 360.

In my Wii - nada, PS3 - MGS4, X360 - Halo3

Get mad at me for you not posting a link.

And yes, you were lying. This is a new studio founded by three ex-Retro people (seemingly rather significant such though) signing with EA, not Retro getting signed by EA. Doesn't Retro have a contract with Nintendo? Yeah Nintendo owns the studio even. So that'd be sort of stupid for them to suddenly sell it out of nowhere for no good reason.

Armature. Geth Armature!

This is partially why you should always post a link btw.

"Ex-members of Metroid Prime developer Retro Studios have formed Armature Studio"

Not current Retro Studios members.

-sighs- There is no room for small devs this gen...dev costs are high plus companies like EA are monopolizing the industry. Makes you wonder what games we kind of tellen we could be seeing if it weren't for these problems...I wouldn't mind fresh titles with the quality of The Witcher or Stalker on consoles from some newer devs.killab2oo5

well, I think is 90% ninty fault, they could have bought this dev a long time ago, and they have a lot, I mean A LOT, of money to invest in this quality type of devs

Get mad at me for you not posting a link.

And yes, you were lying. This is ex-Retro people starting up a new studio and signing with EA, not Retro getting signed by EA. Armature. Geth Armature!

InsaneBasura

well I made and exact copy/paste of the title of the article

And yes, it's not the entire team, but some visible leaders of the team

and I wasn't mad at nobody :P

Retro is owned by Nintendo, its just that the disgruntled employees who left have formed a new company and signed on with the DevilFirstDiscovery

well that's somewhat a relief, I don't the idea of EA adquiring all the talents in the videogame industry

Well, I want to see what these guys can do with the ps3/360 power

They have a lot of talent, now a little raw power

So the cards are on the table...Wish them the best and hopefully they deliver something great for the gamers

This is a company that has gone big from the start and has kept everyone happy, they deserve to become a big dev one day

Hurray for lack of stupid vague happy business terms that mean nothing. Sounds like it could result in crazy, mad xtreme games if it works. But I just realized I don't know how games are normally conceptualized, prototyped, approved and all that, so I may not know what I'm talking about. Not-Retro and EA seems to agree with me though.

Why does everyone assume if you sign on with EA your game will be crap, especially now with these days. I guess Left 4 Dead will be crap then. *shrugs*

So even though the developers are no longer in partenership with Nintendo, Ninty still holds ownership of the Metroid franchise? We won't be seeing any EA published Samus games, am I right?AdobeArtist

yep, but you will see new IP with TONS of potential in other systems...

Ah well, I'll still cling to my hope of seeing Samus added to the next DOA-X roster :lol::oops:

God, I hate you guys. Shame on the thread starter for your misleading thread title and explaination, and shame on the rest of you for failing to read beyond what is infront of you.

You want to know the outcome of this? An inferior product.
