Thats to bad. So Wii platform might be more dangerous than those HD ones after all. Everyone said games take to much to develop for on the other consoles, which I see. However, I see why we're a shitty audience to develop for too.

You got all that from the news that a single obscure developer went out of business?!

Yeah I did, and I don't care. Lets face it, 3rd party games we get all hyped up about often don't sell that well.

Hey isn't this the industry you are going to school for, DAaaMan?

Deep Silver should have licensed out their tech to bring in more money.

And who would they have sold it to?
No one is interested in making Wii games and buying someone else's tech is not the already too small budget.

This game was sent to die.  Players (substantial numbers, not just a couple of forum guys including myself) are not getting hyped about it when the Publisher (and retailers, to an extent) don't support it.  Weak promotion and painfully small shipment numbers hurt this title's chance for even a cult following.

I don't even think very many people on forums were all that hyped for this game.

Like I said, me and one other person here.

Blacknmild? I still might get this game, but give it to my girl to playand give me a summary bof it

I think the best thing the game Red Steel 2 has going for it is Jason VandenBerghe, the game super hyped producer. I wish more developers and publishers would give us an enthusiastic frontman.

i was one of the ones really looking forward to this game. it did not let me down, tho i have not finished it, i have enjoyed playing it. it is a shame they are closing up.

I'll believe this when we compare it to 360 titles in the same position. (PS2 as well if possible).  I mean, back in the PS2 games, it was said that "Games just sold" no matter their position. (Thats an exaggeration but whatever. )

Yes, and I'm almost finished with my sophomore year in fact

You didn't even know there was a Limited Edition of it! *wags finger* for shame!

It turns out they're all Limited Editions now.  *rimshot*

It's sad to see any development studio close, but they made no attempt to make this game seem worth buying so I don't regret passing it up.  I'll check it out sometime in the future as it sinks further into the bargain bin.

Hello people who don't support third parties, The studio that made this game may be gone, but you now have a chance to own it! It's a prize in a funhouse contest I put together, so enter if you want to try Cursed Mountain.

oh i thought you meant own the third party....

[ejamer]

For what it's worth, the game is pretty damn cool if you like survival horror games at all.  It's got flaws, but is a great experience.  Nice choice for a prize selection.
 
Oh yeah, and this is an awesome contest that you are running!
