Wow, I of course never saw this coming. Where there any rumours beforehand? I wonder if there will be any colaboration between Rockstar and Firaxis now.

Oh God :eek: , I love Alpha Centauri, Id hate to see it ruined by Rockstar, they make their games mostly for consoles, plus turn-based RTS by them? seems unlikely, when was the last time Rockstar made a good RTS?

HAHA!! Im sure they would come up with some new "scandal".
 
This just killed my hopes for another alpha centauri :(
I know it would not have happened anyway but... :(
 
This happened over a month ago, actually. Latest pirates! patch was released with take-two branding on it, iirc.
 
I was wondering why I saw Take Two in the Civ4 credits. DAMN YOU! :(
 
Did anyone else here enjoy pirates! ?

I know its a graphics face-lift of the old Apple IIGS game (which was fun), but I thought pirates! was a pretty fun game.
 
Honestly, this bothers me if Rockstar/TakeTwo will have any creative control. I'm not a fan of the GTA3+ lineup, nor any of their "OMG this is violent, gritty and real" games. I would hate to see some hip-hop dominated strategy game where you need to form gang alliances and make sure that you have enough resource squares for bling, guns, and whores. :rolleyes:

QFT.
And yes, I enjoyed the hell out of Pirates. We need more games like that. But if Take Two does have creative control, the next iteration of Pirates will be of a thug downloading PC games and getting shot at by "the popo" from a helicopter above the ghetto.
 
look at your Civ 4 box it shows the take 2 logo

look at your Civ 3 box it shows the firaxis logo

different logos... same thing

EDIT: on second thought.... my Civ 4 game has issues (random crashing, memory leak from bad code) hmm... is this the fault of take 2?
 
I LOVED Pirates!:) So hard to stop playing that game. Not sure what it is about that game that made it so addicting either.

Anyway, it'd be damned foolish to hire new help and then throttle the help with micromanagement till they lose the ability to exercise the talent you hired them for. This is business, they want to make a profit. I think you can give both companies the benefit of the doubt that they'll let Firaxis do what they do best.
