  • Victory Games are modest company?

    #1
    Why after Generals 2 announcement I don't see any VG logo? I understand that VG is under BioWare now, but why then the're called themselfs with title "Victory Games", if no one see that studio name?

        We know that already. I mean, that there are no word, that it's a Victory Games.

          In case you wondered, the VG logo disappeared on the CnC sites.

            the studio is BIOware victory in the link i posted it states it.

            Maybe Victory Games was a ruse, to make us search the wrong studio name....

              That'd be a good sign. Such a ruse would require brains of a magnitude the latest games have not hinted at in the slightest.

                    This is basically what they were aiming for. Famous brand name = better reputation = more potential sales = more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for EA

                      You know, other than the fact that Westwood Studios ceased to exist back around, I'd say 2005? I don't think any of the original Westwood team has stuck around.

                        EA closed Westwood Studios in 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westwood_studios).

                        And, also, some people from Westwood Studios DID stick around, and are helping with the new Generals game.

                            Victory Games merged into Bioware and is now called "Bioware Victory." They are a subdivision of Bioware (which is a subdivision of EA).

                            Basically it is still Victory Games, just with a new name, new logo and some new people.

                              """Take Command & Conquer: Generals 2, for example. EA says it's a "BioWare" game, but really, it's being developed by the same studio responsible for the last few Command & Conquer games. Those games didn't do that well, especially the woeful Command & Conquer 4, so in changing the name on the door to read "BioWare" instead of "EA", the publisher is obviously hoping to trade off a little of the goodwill associated with the former while distancing themselves from the reputation of the latter.

                              Would you believe there are now eight individual video game developers known as BioWare? Eight! There's the original team in Alberta, Canada. There's BioWare Victory. There's BioWare Austin, where Old Republic is in development. There's BioWare Mythic, BioWare Ireland and BioWare San Francisco. There's BioWare Montreal. There's even BioWare Sacramento, which is...a social game developer."""
