>tfw Activision and EA are potential buyers

The only real big potential game I see here is EJ and maybe ClayFighters only for the tournament/competitive scene.

Earthworm Jim never had a proper 3D transition, it could've been as successful as Rayman if Shiny knew their shit instead of outsourcing

>>3484206
I don't understand why people would get more excited about Clayfighters than classics like Freespace or MDK.

>>3484215
Cause fightan gaems

>>3484215
I'm just glad I got the whole Descent + Freespace series on GOG before they were removed.

>>3484215
I can't see a new MDK being successful maybe with flying mechanics like Bamham and a good TPS?

Clayfighters was so bad, probably only beaten to the title of worst fighting game by Rise of the Robots.

>>3484253
its still a cult classic, like primal rage

>>3484253
631/2 was a lot of fun

POOPOO PLATTA

>>3484206
BOY, I BET GEARBOX COULD DO LEGENDARY THINGS WITH CLAYFIGHTER.

Never thought I'd see the words Clayfighter and competitive scene uttered in the same sentence.

>>3484156
Holy crap.

How much do you think Giants and Sacrifice are going for?

What's the likelihood that if /vr/ pooled its money that we could afford just one of the IPs?

>>3484481
The only competition involving Clayfighter are ebay bidding wars for 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut.

I want to say Sega would best handle EJ but now I'm not so sure since all their 2D games are practically dead save for the blue madman himself.

Fixed it for ya anon.

Please no.

>>3484215
because im 32 years old and literally never heard of freespace and mdk was like a pc game or something so normal people never played it.

but everybody played clayfighter on snes.

Bad Mr. Frosty?! Fuck yeah!

Just going to repost this image from a duplicate thread.

Casper: Gameboy Color seems like a shot

>>3484253
Nope, it was a fun franchise.

So, it seems they want to sell it all as a bundle, and not individually. Basically, they want to sell all of their assets as one big package. So it seems only someone big will be able to grab this.

>>3484156
I really hope IPs like Shattered Steel, Shogo and MDK won't be bought soon by some dickhole developers. What happened to Duke Nukem should not happen again.

>>3484448
>>3484443
>>3484206

Capcom will buy Clayfighter and make a crossover with Darkstalkers. Mark my words.

I'm thinking of buying an IP just for fun. EWJ is obviously going to be way too much, but a game nobody cares enough about to bid for would be neat to own the rights to.

So racist. That's why I love it. Now give me a tumblr Landwhale, a Nignog rapper, a fat black mama and a fedoralord character.
Even better, a jew. A fucking happy merchant! Maybe as the final boss.

I really want a new Sacrifice but at the same time I don't have any faith in the industry anymore.

Well, perhaps a miracle will happen like for the new Rollcage.

How much would a bottom-tier, undesirable IP cost anyway?

This just in EA or Activision buy the rights and just sit on them forever.

i could see bioshit or betheshit buying it, and fucking it all up.

they tried to make dragon age, aka faggot age, into a grimdark spiritual successor to baldur's gate, and it was gay.

Bad End: Gearbox soaks it all up with the Duke Nukem money

Good End: Night Dive Studios

True End: Kickstarter to buy it and make a sequel succeeds, no game to be found.

Clayfighters if it EVER comes back is going to be censored to hell and back.

And my main will probably be removed all-together for being a racist stereotype.
Rest in rice sweet prince.

>>3488115
And street fighter isnt stereotypical?

No character in street fighter is nearly as stereotypical as kung pow. Seriously, he's an undeniably racist caricature.

Only according to you, you whipped little PC shit stain.

>>3489285
I don't know what planet you live on that a mop-topped slit-eyed buck-toothed guy in a karate outfit shouting out Chinese food ISN'T racist. He's like something out of those 40s cartoons with the ridiculously racist stereotypes of black people. But go ahead and keep blaming the social justice boogeyman.

>>3484206
They should let Netherrealm buy Clayfighter and make a new game based on the Mortal Kombat engine, with cartoony looks but extremely dark humour.

What's the difference between you and an ethnic minority?

An ethnic minority laughs at stereotypes of his own race.

>>3489924
You're right, ethnic minorities LOVE when white people make fun of them. They think it's hilarious.

>>3489962
FYI: I'm ethnic chinese, so stop whitesplaining and let me laugh at my own culture.

Being funny doesn't make it not racist.

Interplay is a zombie of a company that refuses to die peacefully.

They're going out kicking and screaming and this is an act of desperation to buy some time, just like when they sued Bethesda for Fallout MMO rights, or when the bought out that fan project "Descent Underground"

>>3489890
I live on the planet that exists outside the safe space of your lesbian ethnic studies class. here in Asia Asian stereotypes are used regularly and no one gives a shit. We also use African stereotypes and no one gives a shit. Until someone forwards something to the Western left stream media. Then a massive shitstorm ensues. Apparently Asians aren't quite dark enough to be categorically absolved of all racism like blacks are.

>>3490045
True. Only being a self loathing white liberal can make something so innocuous racist.

You children have never seen true racism. You demean the suffering of those who have experienced it and the work of those who have fought against it by co-opting it for your fake outrage tactic in your quest to crush unshaved pussy.

>>3490102
>>3490110

fuck thats sad. I loved Claymates and Clayfighter even though they were shitty they had charm.

Wow, never saw this. Well that fucking sucks.

Now they're selling it all, which hopefully will be a good thing since Interplay won't make anything good come from it

We need more satirical fighters like kickdive but are actually good and not joke games

>>3484215
freespace was a niche title and MDK's draw was based on limited 3d software. I'm pretty lukewarm about all their IP but some are more memorable than others.

>>3490883
>freespace was a niche title

Not saying isn't, but it's kinda half of what people thought No Man's Sky was gonna be.

Marketed correctly, a 6DOF space fighter could do really well today.

Space Engineers and Kerbal Space Program are both really popular titles.

What made those games great was Shiny.

Shiny is dead. Let it rest.

>tfw no MDK3
>the IP will be bought by someone just to let it rot

What's the price range for these things? Obviously stuff like Earthworm Jim will go pretty big (in comparison) but what about their smaller shit?
Could I grab the rights to something for a couple hundred?

>>3498740
>Could I
no

It'd be cool if Deep Silver bought Freespace since they now own the devs and their main MO for the past while is buying old stuff from failing companies.

I wonder what will happen to Descent Underground though. Maybe the team for that will get the entire rights to it?

>>3490110
I'm honestly hoping that the buy-out will make this un-fucked.
