Another 10 games that killed their developers



After two videos about video games that killed their studios, it's time for round three. It’s time to look at even more now defunct developers that made a few of our most beloved classics and guilty pleasures. Get ready because here are another ten games that unfortunately killed their studio in the proces. Neversoft - Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock At the end of the nineties and the early 2000s Neversoft was one of the best studios around. The studio rocked the world with hits like MDK, Spider-Man and of course the revolutionary Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise. The studio ditched the skateboarding franchise and took over Red Octane’s Guitar Hero series. Argonaut Games - Malice Argonaut Games was a legendary studio that developed a few revolutionary games like Star Fox, Stunt Race FX, Alien Resurrection and Croc. It was a studio that worked a lot alongside Nintendo and it wasn’t afraid to take risks. However they also made a lot of mediocre games like Malice. Malice was an average platform game that came out on PS2 and Xbox. Airtight Games - Murdered: Soul Suspect Airtight Games was an American independent studio that became infamous for developing Capcom’s Dark Void. The game was badly received and it seemed that Airtight Games would be a studio that would be gone before we knew it. However it did manage to exist for over10 years. Vigil Games - Darksiders 2 Darksiders was a pretty awesome game series that was developed by Vigil Games. However Vigil was a part of THQ which eventually went bankrupt. Most of its studios were sold to other parties, but Vigil Games did not receive any bids. 38 studios - Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning 38 Studios was founded by Major League Baseball Pitcher Curt Schilling. The studio became famous for making Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. Reckoning was a pretty decent action rpg that got some pretty good scores in the media. Rebel Act Studios - Severance Blades of Darkness Rebel Act Studios was a small Spanish studio that only made one game, but it was a pretty good one. Severance: Blades of Darkness was a third person action game for PC published by Codemasters. Realtime World - A.P.B. All Points Bulletin A.P.B. was one of these games that was supposed to be the next big thing, but in the end failed to impress. This open world multiplayer online game just didn’t sell enough copies, with the result that Realtime World was placed into administration. GRIN - Terminator Salvation Do you guys remember the Swedish game development studio called GRIN? You might know it from the pretty awesome Bionic Commando Rearmed game they developed for Capcom. They also made the decent Wanted: Weapons of Fate movie tie-in, but other than that all their other games were pretty mediocre. Zipper Interactive - Unit 13 We all know Zipper Interactive from their awesome SOCOM series on several Playstation platforms. Sony’s first online shooter gained a lot of popularity, but after a few entries in the series its popularity and sales decreased. Whoopee Camp - Tomba! 2 Whoopee Camp sounds like a bad teenage comedy movie but in fact it was a Japanese video game development studio from Osaka. The studio got famous for its Tomba! series on the Sony Playstation, better known as the Tombi! series in Europe. Which video game developer closure bummed you out the most?

  1. no light of day for darksiders 3? didn't we get remastered version for 1-2 not long ago?
    Nordic can still make the third one.
  2. Do you think devs know there making shit games whilst making them or do they only realise when it's too late to stop
  3. Westwood Studios. Them being bought out by EA was the worst thing to have ever happened to RTS gaming. There hasn't been a solid command and conquer game since Generals, and that's me being nice. EA ruined that series man.
  4. i miss Whoopee Camp, i love Tombi and Tombi 2, those games were a solid part of my childhood
  5. Lionhead Studios. But I get why they closed. It just sucks because I still remember playing fable at a young age..and being really annoyed with 2 and ehh on 3.
  6. Darksiders 2 was a great game. Its for sure a shame their will not be another darksiders
  7. They should've ashamed to sell some shit like murdered
  8. Dark spiders 2 was bought by who? She kept repeating herself haha
  9. I LOVED dark void
  10. irrational games RIP
  11. I personally loved Kingdoms of Amalur, one of my favourite rpg's
  12. "most of the studio was sold to another parties, but vigil games didn't receive any bids"

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT THAT SHIT FOR 3 TIMES. JESUS
  13. Socom can still return
  14. Where is Rareware?
    You know, One of the best game companies of the 90's when they were by Nintendo's side, but then got owned by Microsoft and it started to go down in game development REALLY Big.
  15. Darksiders is awesome.

    Just bad timing and or bad marketing.

  17. socom 1&2 remaster them and sell it
