Troika Games closes

Recommended Posts

Damn indeed. I can't help but feel that, after Arcanum, all their projects were forced to release too early. You will be missed, Troika, as I reckon that you had some good games left in you.

That's bullshit : they claimed for months that Vampire Bloodlines was finished and that they only waited for HL2 to be released... look at the bugs in the final version, that's unforgettable.

However, I will miss those guys (until they fund a new company) because their design philisophy was intelligent; too bad they didn't had good technicians with them.

I liked Arcanum, but felt that it almost had TOO much to offer. There were so many inter locking skill sets that I had to hack the game to feel that I was getting the full world expieriance.

I think it would have made a good mmorpg though.

I've never seen this publicly stated. Rumoured, I'm happy to admit, but I've never seen a public company statement that this was the case. If there is one, though, then I'm happy to admit that they were wrong, but I would still be correct in saying that the game was rushed to release too early in the wake of Half-Life 2.

I'm pretty sure I saw it as well. In fact, I heard that they were even considering adding multiplayer to it, which was taken out in the early stages. They had a lot of extra time to fix bugs with Vampire. If they had fixed the bugs and polished the combat, Vampire had the potential to become a classic.
