Kolzig Posted February 16, 2005 http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=9551745 After 7 exciting years, and 3 published games, Troika Games is closing its doors forever! Damn... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLacey Posted February 16, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyTheFish Posted February 16, 2005 Well, I for one won't miss them. If they had ever made a playable game, I probably would though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SiN Posted February 16, 2005 i cant help but feel a bit pissed off, even though ive yet to actually play a troika game. its just so depressing knowing that all the developers are closing down left, right & center. SiN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vimes Posted February 16, 2005 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.

General Fuzzy McBitty Posted February 17, 2005 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.

Lechimp Posted February 18, 2005 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.

Kolzig Posted February 19, 2005 No Mutants Allowed has some footage from an RPG engine which was in the works at Troika Games. http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/dload.php?action=file&file_id=654 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
