Έτσι φαίνεται. Δεν θα μου λείψει

Θεωρώ ακόμα ότι το GRAW2 έχει ένα από τα καλύτερα MP... ever! Άξια συγχαρητηρίων τα άτομα που ήταν στην εταιρεία εκείνη την περίοδο. Βέβαια από τότε έχουν περάσει μπόλικα χρονάκια και οι Grin-ers φέρθηκαν ανόητα.

 

Μέτρια παιχνίδια, κακές μεταφορές στο PC, χαρακτηριστικά του Bionic Commando (όπως DX10) που δεν έχουν συμπεριληφθεί στην τελική έκδοση, η Diezel engine που μας έχει ζαλίσει τον έρωτα γενικώς και ένα κάρο πράγματα.

 

Ένα ρητό έλεγε <<Καλύτερα πρώτος στο χωριό σου παρά τελευταίος στην πόλη>>... και ταιριάζει γάντι στην Grin! Πάντα θα θυμάμαι όμως τα ωραία match-άκια που είχαμε παίξει με όλους τους devs στα τελευταία στάδια της Beta του GRAW2. Priceless pown-age

GRIN Officially Closes, Former Devs Found New Studio

 

Following reports indicating Bionic Commando Rearmed and Bionic Commando developer GRIN was in danger of collapsing, the studio today officially announced that it has shut its doors.

 

"It is with a heavy heart we announce today that GRIN has been forced to close its doors," wrote GRIN founders Bo and Ulf Andersson in a goodbye letter. "This as too many publishers have been delaying their payments, causing an unbearable cashflow situation."

 

Once an exciting up-and-comer, GRIN grew rapidly in recent years, eventually expanding to three branches. The company released three games this year--Bionic Commando, Wanted: Weapons of Fate, and Terminator Salvation--which saw disappointing sales returns.

 

In the wake of the closure, a team of former GRIN developers have founded Outbreak Studios. The 25-strong studio will make its home in Gothenburg, Sweden, the location of the new-defunct Gothenburg branch of GRIN.

 

"Our mission is to develop titles for Xbox 360 (XBLA), PS3 (PlayStation Store), Games for Windows Live, PSP Go and iPhone," says Outbreak on its site. "We also deliver online components for AAA titles, both existing or upcoming."

GRIN were developing a Final Fantasy project

 

GRIN may have gone to the grave but the rubble after the collapse flows steadily remained in the sea called the internet. On one of these remains have SuperAnnuation found pictures and information from an unannounced and now closed projects from the developers. According to the information we got, the game should have been a mission from Square Enix, called "Fortress" and been GRINs biggest project so far.

 

The developers' portfolio also mentions that the Fortress is a Final Fantasy games, and images shown up seems merely to confirm that Square Enix hired an outside party to develop its jewels to the game series.
