Activision reaches deal with developer Double Fine Activision attorneys notified a court this week that they have reached a settlement with Brutal Legend developer Double Fine over the game's release.... read more
Hopefully we'll see this game released, though Activision will probably be wanting a share of the profits, which they should have lost all claim to after attempting to kill it off. I actually respect EA a lot more for rescuing this game, good to see them taking so many chances on new ip's rather than relying on yearly "sequels" to generate the cash.
Lots of Activision-related news today. It's going to be a hate-filled day.
I hope that Activision don't get a penny out of Double Fine and that it sells really, really well, just to rub salt in the wound a bit. _________________ "Our world cannot be viewed through the glasses of common sense" - Masato Arai.

The settlement will probably read. Activison Gave up and left Double fine alone or EA would make thier lives miserable. This way they get to save face. _________________ The only thing we know is that we know nothing.

EA have been a great publisher the last 18 months. They released a number of new and risky IP's last year and even without them gaining huge sales (ala Mirrors Edge) they have promised to support them as they see a future for such titles. Only people they have pissed off is PC gamers.
Funny how Activision wants to so quickly fill the shoes of most hated publisher. People must be wise to the whole guitar/DJ hero peripheral crap by now. This so called "platform" keeps releasing updated plastic toys making your old ones redundant. Interesting to see how the new one sells
Activistion should be ASHAMED of themselves. Shame , bc they let go of what could possibly be a great game , and they know it and double fine is right they ARE trying to kill this game! Its a shame activision is trying to deny the global video game community of a possible classic title , bc why they didnt want to take a chance on it for shame activision . Activision takes home the first annual cb9983 duchebags of the YEAR award congrats to activision for being the biggest duchebags of 2009 for trying this lawsuit what a bunch of jackasses.
