ITT: We predict when Volition goes bankrupt

>>387235684
Sucks hard, Volition are one of my favorite developers. I was pretty happy when Deep Silver saved them from the THQ bankruptcy but AoM just isn't gonna sell very well. Hopefully they stick around and do a passion project on a shoestring budget and come back from death once more.

They'll probably get one more chance which will probably be going back to Saints Row. But I predict they'll fuck that up too which will then lead to their bankruptcy

Isn't Agents of Mayhem single-player though

>>387235684
Deep Silver should aquire the Freespace IP from Interplay so Volition can make Freespace 3

>>387235684
What the fuck were they even thinking with Agents of Mayhem? The whole thing just looks so bland and B grade, I don't understand how people who managed to turn a shitty GTA knockoff into a unique, top selling franchise could fuck up this hard.

>>387236316
Hopefully never

>>387236316
You clearly never played 3 or 4 then. They've pretty much written that series into a corner unless "it was all a dream" or some stupid cop-out shit like that. They're literally in a pod, in space, with Earth completely destroyed. There is no more Saint's Row.

>>387236712
How braindead do you have to be think that saints row is appreciated for the story or that anyone would give a fuck if the devs just waved a magic wand and undestroyed the earth? Hell, they already have a sequel set up with saints in time.

>>387236525
Split timelines anon
Saints Row 3 which continues the Saints as usual gangbangers instead of SR The Third where they become famous soon
Or you can have Saints Row III where you play as the Saints in a game spanning multiple states on a presidential campaign

What's the player count?

>>387236525
>"it was all a dream" or some stupid cop-out shit like that.
I could totally imagine that working for Saints Row though. It's so ridiculous anyway that it'd just be funny if they did such a silly explanation. Of course, they could make Saints Row: Space and finally start a new map/level design outside of Steelport. Saying this, I wonder what Beyond Good and Evil is gonna play like.

Well Agents of Mayhem was retarded idea right out the gates. Would be nice to get a decent Red Faction before they close their doors.

I understand this will probably hurt sales massively, but I'm glad derp silver didn't have money for coop. Finally a real SP autistic experience for people like me.

That`s exactñy what they did with Agents of Mayhem. At the end of the hell DLC/(((game))) Gat asks god to make earth again, and then the saints start the agency in agents of mayhem or something like that. They honestly don't give a single fuck about the plot.

>>387237429
Agreed. But you never know, Volition might do it in one last desperate move to stay open.

>>387237668
Hey let me know about the replayability, daily missions and any kind of grinding and what not that actually makes you want to continue playing for a while.

>>387236525
There are dozens of ways. I'm sorry video games have ruined your creativity. They could go to an alien planet. They could go to a planet suspiciously like earth. The pod could malfunction and they could crash on a planet that gets colonized using clones made from their DNA and wake up after thousands of years when technology on the new colony progesses enough to revive them. They could use gat out of hell and go to heaven or hell. They could make the prologue mission about saving the souls of humanity and uploading them into a new computer network while you hunt for a way to create new bodies and bring them back to real life. They could have the pod get picked up by an alien race that recuits the MC into a police force and sends him undercover as a gangster to bust a human smuggling ring on another planet.

And I could come up with more.

>>387237924
Good thing this game wasn't named Saints Row 5, at least they have a chance to sweep this game under a rug and make an actual cop sequel

This isnt a big failure for them, its just another game they have whole franchises at Volition.

Ubisoft is the one that should go bankrupt since its run by jews and anything jews run always goes under unless its a bank.

>>387236151
it is but it looks and plays like it was meant to be a multiplayer game

>>387238982
>gat out of hell
that was like a dlc and didnt cost almost anything to make, so their still gonna be fine.

If companies like 2k can make shit like Mafia 3 and not go out of business yet, then Volition will be fine.

>>387239031
>they have whole franchises at Volition.
they have saints, and 2 officially canned franchises. freespace and red faction are confirmed never-evers

>>387237924
Dude there were like 8 endings to the DLC.
>Not letting Gat see Aisha again
Disgusting.

>>387239116
2k is a major company with 4 or 5 studios all working on their own projects. volition is their only studio

>>387238990
Mods are good but I still need a sequel for story reasons and to hear the god tier musical score and voice acting again.

>>387239116
2k is a publisher, the actual dev of Mafia 3 got shitcanned into a merger with another 2k studio.

>>387239031
>This isnt a big failure for them, its just another game they have whole franchises at Volition.
All they have at the moment is saints and this shit and their last release was 2 years ago, which means that if this fails and they aren't working on saints right now for any early release date, then they haven't had a winner in 4 years and probably won't have another product for another 2. That sort of thing kills companies.

The game had over 100 controls.

You didnt need to use all of them to beat the game but there was one if i remember correctly that targeted last ship to send a transmission.

it may have only been in fs1 tho.

the targeting controls in freespace were so good other games targeting will feel clunky in comparison.

Will it hit 5,000 players?
