Maybe it's for their own good. I haven't played an Acclaim title since... well, since their MK II port for SNES.

I just hope that the Red Star game doesn't disappear forever as a result.

Looks like Acclaim is negotiating with its lender, and if it has to it will go into bankruptcy. The company will probably not end because of this.

Yeah this is the first action game I've been interested in in a while. Added bonus: now everyone at my job calls me a communist because I was excited about it.

Acclaim manages to cheat death more than a comic book bad guy so I'm not sure if even this will kill the company off. But if this is the death rattle of Acclaim I will miss their insane ad campaigns; those things were so over the top and in such questionable taste that they bordered on genius.

The game has already reached reviewable state, and I hear that at a certain company starting with M may try to pick up the rights.

Mayhaps they were owned by Gojira's avatar?

Oh boy, maybe we can see the main character of this game in a porno mag too.

It hurts less than in retrospect...all those awful comic games and movie games should have used up all their Continues. I wasted too much money renting them for the bad karma not to hit them back and destroy them for good! FANTASTIC FOUR???! GamePlayers gave it a 21% out of 100% back in the day, I remember wel....

Gameplayers was at one point my favorite videogame mag. They were hilarious. Then they started printing bullcrap stories and discriminating heavily against 2d fighters (they so loved SFEX more than SF3). I also recall them saying that Alex was going to be a Guile clone, showing that they didn't even really play a game that they were claiming they did. Fools.

Haha, though Alex did look like a Guile clone at the time, and that issue (the one with a big FFVII feature too, I remember it) was pretty old before SFIII was that commonly playable, I think. They gave some of the toughest reviews which was good, and never let those crappy Acclaim games get away with anything (to keep sort of on topic). More importantly, they were funny and interesting dudes in real life! They never had a review of SFIII before they finished so I don't know if they really liked SF EX better, tho'...
PS: Acclaim, I still hate you.

I can't remember which issue it was, but I do remember them specifically saying that SFEX was much less disappointing than SF3. That was paraphrasing btw, not an exact quote.
Ah, the memories. Actually, now that I think of it, they didn't really start to suck until they went Ultra. What the heck was the point of doing that anyway?

Hehheh, as long as GP became a subtopic among us anyway: yeah, Bill's my humor hero, still writes for the far less clever PSM, I'd subscribe if it were every crazy like GP. Jeff was the only dude whose reviews I didn't like (never forgave his unfair Lunar 2 review!), but the whole crew was hilarious and actually interesting as human beings, unlike most game mags today. And unlike Acclaim, or something... See, still on topic.

That's really sad. I still play Acclaim games. In particular Bust a Move 99. I make everyone I know play that game eventually... mostly because I totally kick ass at it. XD Hee hee hee...
