Sorry but I agree with Steppe

Sindwiller is swiss

This whole jade raymond thing demonstrates perfectly how immature this industry still is.

What I don't understand is, can't a developer protect itself contractually against having the publisher drop its title at the end of production? Doesn't that constitute a breach of contract of some sort? I'd assume that once a developer signs with a publisher there would be some kind of mutual protection against getting fucked over by the other party.

Vivendi studios and projects face uncertain future

Michael French Today, 8:41am

Activision-Blizzard says studios will be ‘realigned or divested’; unwanted games like Ghostbusters sold off

After weeks of speculation, new publishing powerhouse Activision-Blizzard has confirmed it will sell off unwanted studios and projects it acquired following its merger with Vivendi games.

North American studios High Moon Studios (developer of the recent Bourne game) and Radical (developer of upcoming game Prototype) are to be ‘realigned’ the publisher confirmed in a statement – which presumably means merged into other Activision-Blizzard teams or downsized.

Meanwhile the publisher added it was “exploring options… including divestiture” for European studios Massive (based in Sweden, developer of World in Conflict) and Swordfish (based in Birmingham and Manchester, UK developer of the upcoming 50 Cent game).

The Sierra Online and Vivendi Mobile business are also possible up for sale.

At the same time, Activision-Blizzard confirmed what Vivendi-started projects it would and wouldn’t be keeping. Big kids franchises Crash and Spyro will be kept, as will the videogame rights to movie franchise Ice Age plus new IP Prototype.

However that leaves in the cold a number of other key, high-profile games Vivendi label Sierra was originally planning to publish. These include Ghostbusters, new rock music adventure IP Brutal Legend, plus rights to the Bourne/Robert Ludlum estate and the 50 Cent games.

Publishing rights for these games are also up for sale - Ghostbusters for one was presumed nearly finish given its upcoming October release date.

"We are focused on improving efficiency across the combined organisation and are concentrating on businesses where we have leadership positions that are aligned with Activision Publishing's long-term corporate objectives," said Activision publishing CEO Mike Griffith in a statement.

"We have conducted a thorough review of Vivendi Games' brand portfolio and are retaining those franchises and titles that are a strong fit with our long-term product strategy. We are reviewing our options regarding those titles that we will not be publishing."

I liked the underwater effects in Turok 1 though.. No game has pulled off better underwater effects since then

I said this because I've seen quite a few companies that have a "no calls please!" on their websites in the jobs section... e-mailing is fine IMO. or calling after you've interviewed with them already to follow up on the status of your application.

But to call simply because they didn't respond to you yet, I advise against that.

I loved when Skinner made an appearance out of nowhere!!!! skinner!!!!!

Btw I advise against calling a company to ask about status of application. This is REALLY frown upon in most places.

Yeah I just came back from seeing it. It was a good movie, but it didn't feel very X-files at all... There wasn't really anything extraterrestrial going on besides some old guy with long hair having visions.

I was hoping for some alien stuff and creepy scenes but it felt more like a really long episode of CSI. But it did make me want to buy Season 1 on DVD. Those were still the good days of the X-files.

I'm gonna see it in an hour.... I hope it'll be good!

Saw it. Loved it. Joker was awesome!!!

Quote from Hourences

Modding can actually backfire. I once had a big studio tell me they didn't want to hire me because I was too involved in modding, and that I was thus too involved with their concurrents...

that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard...
