Namco is seriously fucked up

Post by Ddrak »

This has to be the dick move of the century...

On the same day the Splatterhouse trailer debuted, Namco is rumored to have pulled the unfinished project from Bottlerocket, dooming the California-based developer.

Sources through the San Diego-area dev community - but not with Bottlerocket itself - say Namco showed up Friday and took back the dev kits and all assets for Splatterhouse. Word has it Namco intends to finish it in house with the Afro Samurai team.

You're usually pretty good at letting the dust settle before commenting. Do you know something other than what's posted in the article? Because the article is just a bunch of unsubstantiated speculation at this point.
Correction Mr. President, I DID build this, and please give Lurker a hug, we wouldn't want to damage his self-esteem.

People I know in the industry seem to think it's true, but I don't personally know anyone that works or worked there.

I don't know anything other than I'm not hearing any denial from anywhere, which is pretty weird if it were just made up crap.

You know, I'd like Namco a lot better if they'd get to fucking work on Metal Marines 2.
