Neversoft sets fire to iconic logo as studio merges with Infinity Ward - Polidicks

[IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsNwOlpCMAADKly.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]After years of success with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Spider-Man on PlayStation 1, and Guitar Hero, Neversoft has closed its doors. Unlike many stories of studio closures, this one has a silver lining. Neversoft’s merger with Infinity Ward was revealed back in May, creating a “super-studio.” Neversoft played a role in the development of 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts, giving them a head-start on the integration. To commemorate the end of Neversoft, the studio set fire to the iconic skewered eyeball logo.

What the fuck. That is just insulting. Shows how they aren't the game developer they used to be.

I kinda find that a little depressing, I mean the people burning it likely have nothing to do with the people who founded the company. And that logo was iconic, what a shame.

Did these guys made the RC twisted metal version for the PSX? Best. Fucking. Game. Evar.

Goodbye... Old friend...

And now, onto making an endless amount of Call of Duty titles!

Another one bites the dust..... but in it's place, 15 pretentious indie devs appear.

What exactly is this 'silver lining' they mentioned?

Sounds like a viking funeral to me.

RIP good Tony Hawk games. Robomodo's THPS HD was okay, Let's hope they are given the greenlight for another.

all the employees also got a bowie knife with the neversoft title printed on it. [url]https://twitter.com/NSSteph/status/487350132292456448/photo/1[/url]

With Infinity Ward? This is fucking depressing, knowing that IW can't make games for shit. [editline]12th July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=usaokay;45366215]Call of Duty: Ghosts really did hit Infinity Ward hard.[/QUOTE] Their fault they made MW2/3 and had bullshit PC requirements and they actually did make all the maps grey for once so it's not a hyperbole when you go "everything in Ghosts is grey." Treyarch's only been making good games since WaW and I have full plans to buy their next CoD while completely gliding over IW or Sledgehammer unless AW isn't ass.

The neversoft intro was the first time I saw blood in a videogame. I thought it was so cool.

I spent most of my infancy watching that intro. Spiderman for PS1 was such a good game >:(

[QUOTE=Memobot;45364347]What exactly is this 'silver lining' they mentioned?[/QUOTE] Keeping their jobs in an incredibly competitive industry and being merged to help develop one of the best selling entertainment franchises on the planet? [QUOTE=gk99;45368169]With Infinity Ward? This is fucking depressing, knowing that IW can't make games for shit.[/QUOTE] It's not like Neversoft was pumping out quality titles either. Notice how the latest release anyone has referenced in this thread positively came out in [I]2004[/I]

[QUOTE=usaokay;45371325]Without the original key people, IW is pretty much a shadow of its former self. And Neversoft hasn't made a decent game in years (they even collaborated with IW devs to complete MW3 and Ghosts). Maybe something good might come out of this (Treyarch created the shitty CoD3, but bounced back with WaW), so who knows[/QUOTE] I hope we get to See Soap and Price do a McTwist over an attack heli from a hotel roof in the next game.
