ITT: We predict when Volition goes bankrupt

Agents of Mayhem is out, and it's time to bet when Deep Silver Volition is BTFO by a lower player count than Battleborn.
For me, next year max.

Sucks hard, Volition are one of my favorite developers. I was pretty happy when Deep Silver saved them from the THQ bankruptcy but AoM just isn't gonna sell very well. Hopefully they stick around and do a passion project on a shoestring budget and come back from death once more.

They'll probably get one more chance which will probably be going back to Saints Row. But I predict they'll fuck that up too which will then lead to their bankruptcy

Isn't Agents of Mayhem single-player though

Deep Silver should aquire the Freespace IP from Interplay so Volition can make Freespace 3

Saints Row 5 fucking when?

What the fuck were they even thinking with Agents of Mayhem? The whole thing just looks so bland and B grade, I don't understand how people who managed to turn a shitty GTA knockoff into a unique, top selling franchise could fuck up this hard.

Hopefully never

You clearly never played 3 or 4 then. They've pretty much written that series into a corner unless "it was all a dream" or some stupid cop-out shit like that. They're literally in a pod, in space, with Earth completely destroyed. There is no more Saint's Row.

WHERE IS FREESPACE 3 YOU FLAMINNG FAGGOTS

WHERE IS IT?!@?!?!

I remember there was a time when little old adolescent me thought that one day Saints Row would be as big as GTA and Volition would be one of the biggest studios in the world

And here we are

>All these CoD/Halo kiddies who think a series needs sequel after sequel
>niggas can't be satisfied with a definitive ending

I think they should've made some actual good characters and either fully new IP with no connection to Saints Row. Make the game more like a GTA clone mixed with Warriors Orochi and Overwatch-like ultimates as the musou moves

Well, no shit. THQ's fault for releasing SR4 at the same time as GTA 5

>Freespace 2
>definitive ending
>CoD/Halo kiddies

it'll be a reboot just called the saints or something simple like that

and it'll either be rock bottom or the 2nd coming of open world christ. it has all the potential in the world with rockstar basically giving up on doing anything but selling shark cards

How braindead do you have to be think that saints row is appreciated for the story or that anyone would give a fuck if the devs just waved a magic wand and undestroyed the earth? Hell, they already have a sequel set up with saints in time.

Split timelines user
Saints Row 3 which continues the Saints as usual gangbangers instead of SR The Third where they become famous soon
Or you can have Saints Row III where you play as the Saints in a game spanning multiple states on a presidential campaign

>Volition is BTFO by a lower player count than Battleborn.
What's the player count?

>"it was all a dream" or some stupid cop-out shit like that.
I could totally imagine that working for Saints Row though. It's so ridiculous anyway that it'd just be funny if they did such a silly explanation. Of course, they could make Saints Row: Space and finally start a new map/level design outside of Steelport. Saying this, I wonder what Beyond Good and Evil is gonna play like.

>no co-op
>no saints row 2 remaster
>no fix of the saints row 2 PC port
I fucking hate modern volition

>tfw only 39 people preordered your game

>Freespace 3 comes out
>Is simplified to be fully playable with a console controller

Well Agents of Mayhem was retarded idea right out the gates. Would be nice to get a decent Red Faction before they close their doors.

I understand this will probably hurt sales massively, but I'm glad derp silver didn't have money for coop. Finally a real SP autistic experience for people like me.

Lets wait a hour for people with bad computers game to unpack before we laugh at how small it is.

Its gonna be small but lets be FAIR

a rf:guerilla 2 combining the building destruction with the old school terrain deformation wouldve been neat but red faction was officially buried long ago

>tfw Randy and Cliffy B have something to make fun of now

ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS PORT SAINTS ROW 1
REBOOT IT
OR DO A FUCKING PROPER REMASTER OF SAINTS ROW 2 SO IT'S NOT STUCK ON 2 SHITTY CONSOLES AND UNPLAYABLE ON PC
FUCKING CHRIST SAKE I GODDAMN HATE THIS PLANET

let's not count out that one guy that's already dropped it

Yes, which is exactly why no one wants to play it.

Some people work. Some have class. And some haven't finished downloading yet. Maybe give it 24 hours, sperg.

as long as the controls are good I wouldn't mind playing Freespace 3 with a 360 controller

Downloading Agents of Mayhem now. AMA.

While you obsess over playercount of a SP game and ree out with other retards here I'll be playing and having fun. But by all means, go work that spreadsheet. I'm sure that will get you laid.

t. Volition PR

Thy should have made another The punisher game using the same gameplay of saints row. It could have been great.

why did you buy it

and some people just get paid to post on Sup Forums

>Freespace 2
>Definitive ending
>Believing people under the age of 25 know that the Freespace series exists

I'm a volition fanboy, and I think the combat looks fun. I also have shit-tier humor and the game will make me laugh.

Are you retarded?

That`s exactñy what they did with Agents of Mayhem. At the end of the hell DLC/(((game))) Gat asks god to make earth again, and then the saints start the agency in agents of mayhem or something like that. They honestly don't give a single fuck about the plot.

Agreed. But you never know, Volition might do it in one last desperate move to stay open.

Hey let me know about the replayability, daily missions and any kind of grinding and what not that actually makes you want to continue playing for a while.

There are dozens of ways. I'm sorry video games have ruined your creativity. They could go to an alien planet. They could go to a planet suspiciously like earth. The pod could malfunction and they could crash on a planet that gets colonized using clones made from their DNA and wake up after thousands of years when technology on the new colony progesses enough to revive them. They could use gat out of hell and go to heaven or hell. They could make the prologue mission about saving the souls of humanity and uploading them into a new computer network while you hunt for a way to create new bodies and bring them back to real life. They could have the pod get picked up by an alien race that recuits the MC into a police force and sends him undercover as a gangster to bust a human smuggling ring on another planet.

And I could come up with more.

Good thing this game wasn't named Saints Row 5, at least they have a chance to sweep this game under a rug and make an actual cop sequel

>and I could come up with more
Please don't. What you just typed sounds like drivel that's come from a 12 year old.

>They just need to make Red faction 5 Red faction Guerrilla 2 and the money will role in
>tfw it will never happen.

You just described the Saint's Row plot and the plot to 90 percent of video games.

>being this retarded

I'm sure you'll get laid by telling women "YO LADEES I PLAY VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY AND POST ON VIDEO GAME FORUMS"

what you just typed sounds like youve never played a saints row game

Really don't care about controller schemes as long as I can get my fix. But they better have joystick support.

>what you just typed sounds like youve never played a saints row game past the second one
ftfy

really doubt this one game would make them go bankrupt.

Why would someone be posting about saints row if they haven't played the franchise in nearly a decade?

fair point

welcome to Sup Forums

I've been waiting for almost 20 years to see what the hell happened to the leader of the NTF

No fuck you we need a Freespace 3

you just need a big failure to go bankrupt user
volition is not nintendo

I just want one more Saints Row before they go under, and none of that over the top crap.

4 ended with them getting a time machine. They could basically go Assassin's Creed.

because there was a 2 year gap in games, and gat out of hell didnt do well either. if deep silver didnt throw money at their problems, they wouldve already sunk

Just play mods faggot.

>you just need a big failure to go bankrupt user

This isnt a big failure for them, its just another game they have whole franchises at Volition.

Ubisoft is the one that should go bankrupt since its run by jews and anything jews run always goes under unless its a bank.

it is but it looks and plays like it was meant to be a multiplayer game

>gat out of hell
that was like a dlc and didnt cost almost anything to make, so their still gonna be fine.

If companies like 2k can make shit like Mafia 3 and not go out of business yet, then Volition will be fine.

>they have whole franchises at Volition.
they have saints, and 2 officially canned franchises. freespace and red faction are confirmed never-evers

Dude there were like 8 endings to the DLC.
>Not letting Gat see Aisha again
Disgusting.

2k is a major company with 4 or 5 studios all working on their own projects. volition is their only studio

Mods are good but I still need a sequel for story reasons and to hear the god tier musical score and voice acting again.

youtube.com/watch?v=khIWdolT9xY

They don't make games like they used to I swear

2k is a publisher, the actual dev of Mafia 3 got shitcanned into a merger with another 2k studio.

>This isnt a big failure for them, its just another game they have whole franchises at Volition.
All they have at the moment is saints and this shit and their last release was 2 years ago, which means that if this fails and they aren't working on saints right now for any early release date, then they haven't had a winner in 4 years and probably won't have another product for another 2. That sort of thing kills companies.

yeah the music in both 1 and 2 are pretty good

youtube.com/watch?v=yDrlRq-ZjNk&list=PLC9519B43C0159507&index=5

still not great but its doing better than lawbreakers lol

Sure if hell freezes over

I guess marketing is pretty important

DAT JOHNNY GAT

Is a turrent up for this yet?

>player count or retention thereof matters in a single player only game with no co-op
what
Denuvo

>calling others sperg
while sperging out

Freespace 3 will be more likely to happen then Half Life 3

That doesn't sound very reassuring

first time i heard this game studio.
what game did they make?

A volition thread? holy shit

dsvolition.com/games/

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volition_(company)

You call THIS a definitive ending?
youtube.com/watch?v=3BlCM-3Ivbo

well it did in my head before reading your post

what's the canon ending to Freespace 2 anyways? The one were you escape the super nova or the one where you die?

for me the final nail was red faction armageddon.
>go off to explore in 1st level.
>hit invisible wall/ you have left combat area return or die.
>uninstall pos game and never looked back

fucking hell i did enjoy 1 2 and 3 tho!

If all i have is a controller how will i target the last enemy to send a transmission? yes that was actually a thing.

good point, maby with a control scheme like in Elite Dangerous?

Pretty sure the one where you survive because in Freespace your pilot survived the collapse of the jump node as well.

>how will i target the last enemy to send a transmission?
Wait what?

I think he means giving commands to npc pilots like disabling subsystems, taking out guns or destroying your target

:^)

Saints Row 2 was the greatest sandbox crime game ever made, then they went and downgraded the formula. Hope Volition goes under, fuck 'em.

Oh thank god and here I thought I was missing a feature

The game had over 100 controls.

You didnt need to use all of them to beat the game but there was one if i remember correctly that targeted last ship to send a transmission.

it may have only been in fs1 tho.

the targeting controls in freespace were so good other games targeting will feel clunky in comparison.

Will it hit 5,000 players?
