Topic: EA Steps Up Efforts to Acquire Take-Two

[animecyberrat]

I don't remember what it was called but Rock Star did another game for the GC, I seen it in a Gamestop once and thought it was odd Rock star was even making games for GC. I will have to look it up now. The 2k games got released on GameCube when Sega owned the series, but after they sold it to Take 2 they quit making games for it, or at least I thought that was how it happened.

If its any consolation, I vaguely recall EA saying that ProStreet didn't end up being a good direction for NfS and the next will bring back the sandbox city and police pursuits. I think we're going to be stuck with the tuner cars, though.

As for EA turning hostile in its Take Two take over, chalk me in at being interested if EA gobbles up another one. I'm guessing EA looked at the big Activision Blizzard merger and thought they would need more than Bioware and Pandemic under its label.
From the way I see it, it looks like EA is trying to take a turn for the better with its efforts. Granted, they have their games with annual installments, but I think that they're really trying to bring new experiences for the player (Army of Two, Dead Space, and Spore come to mind). Also, they're giving the C&C Renegade formula another shot with Tiberium which I think is a nice upcoming effort. I think Take Two would, in the end, benefit from tapping the resources EA has.

Oh, the sports games...
Bad luck on how I think that will turn out if EA takes over

As an aside: I think Rockstar made Smuggler's Run Warzones for the GCN as well?

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

EA should hurry up and buy Take2.

And MS should hurry up and buy Yahoo.

Then they can merge with each other and have awful babies.

Hahaha.
The game's fun, right? The idea of racing across the border wastelands and wilderness to deliver contraband sounds like a good and unique concept. If it weren't for Borderlands and Rage, I think a sequel to scratch a dune-buggy-running itch would be more than welcomed.

Fixed

I just wish MLB 2K8 for the Wii had received the same attention as Madden for the Wii has. They got the controls (mostly) down, but the game is far from polished and is missing features that could have definitely been done on the Wii, but Take 2 didn't give it the time or resources.

i wish mlb 2k8 was a good game. its really sad when the last good baseball game was all star baseball.  so sad.

MLB 2K8 for the Wii is actually pretty good. The controls work well. The problem is there are some glitches, like the one that screws up your franchise mode game (there's a workaround for it now, at least). Also, it's missing features like online play and playable minor league teams that are in the "next gen" versions. The major thing is it doesn't seem like it was given enough time and resources, it could have been great. And the last good baseball game (for Nintendo platforms at least, from what I hear the The Show series Sony has is really good) is MVP Baseball 2005, still the greatest baseball game ever made.

If EA made Burnout into a free roaming ass fest would they make GTA into a linear racing buttfest?

[vudu]

Why is ass fest two words, but buttfest only one?

[ThePerm]

maybe after purchasing take 2 they'll have enough manpower to make their own console.

It would be nice if they consolidated wasted sequels all to one console.

*OH MAN* *IT IS SO ON*

[animecyberrat]

This is almost as sad as MS trying to buyout Yahoo.
