Rockstar would be smart to pick up Saints Row, get a lock on that genre and get both sides of the coin between the serious and crazy goofy.

@RenMcKormack: Only in video games can you be ballsy by doing the exact same thing you did 20 years ago.

What a creative renaissance we live in.

2K creating competition by making a solid game and not some BS licensing issue with the NBA. Good for them.

@aceofspudz: I'm sure Strauss Zelnick approves of this.

Good luck with that. *eye roll*

@AuthenticM: Not a huge apple fan, but from an industrial design standpoints it's heads and tails over everything on the market. And that's honestly more important to some people (me) than function and tech.... odd I know.

@Dan_CiTi: Google Shacknews Army of Two trailer and that's the answer to a reboot.

Bought it this morning, don't need a discount. You guys rock. Does that tip thing still work with the extra $15? the image has an x on it.

@HarlequinRiot:

It's more. With the price of development rising for the mass market games and the change in technology on the 360 and ps3 we saw a lot more closures and buy outs then ever before. It really put more power into the publishers hands and even among publishers we saw the smaller ones go under or get bought.

On the plus side the "backlash" has been a strong foundation for garage developers coupled with more options for digital distribution, so it's not all shit just yet.

In a world where the guy who made Minecraft has the cash to fund Tim Schafer because he needs the money just to fund a game, I kinda want to hang myself because I clearly live in bizarro world.

Glad there may be a Psychonaughts 2 though.
