WorthPlaying writes: Ubisoft has acquired from Activision Blizzard the assets and all of the personnel of esteemed Malmö, Sweden- based studio Massive Entertainment, as well as the real time strategy brand World In Conflict.
VG247: World in Conflict developer Massive Entertainment may be up for sale, but VP David Polfeldt reckons it could be the best thing to happen to the firm.
Activision Blizzard is putting Swedish developer Massive Entertainment, the maker of World in Conflict and Ground Control, up for sale. This confirms speculation that Activision would drop several of its Vivendi Games franchises after the two companies merged on July 9. More after the jump...
Speaking exclusively to VG247, Massive Entertainment's senior execs have revealed that they're already in talks for a potential sale of the World in Conflict developer, following now-confirmed news that Activision is to sell the outfit as a result of its merger with Blizzard.
Sierra Entertainment has revealed that the eighth update for World in Conflict fixes balancing and bug issues and introduces some new features, like improved in-game voting, new ignore functions and improved network code stability. There are also several additions to Massgate, including new banners and new explanatory texts for missing content.
An enhanced version of Massive Entertainment's PC action-strategy title World in Conflict is heading to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in fall 2008, publisher Sierra has announced. The Xbox 360 edition, revealed last year, was originally slated to arrive alongside the PC edition last fall.
Kotaku reports: First rule of extending the life of a game is multiplayer. The second is providing tools so players can create their own content. If you'd like to head over to the Internode Games Network, you can download WicEd, a map editor for Massive's RTS World in Conflict. Seeing as WiC had multiplayer from the get go, this utility is for those who wish to follow up on that second rule.
Internode Games Network: This is a supplementary tool that you can use to record and display all your World in Conflict matches. It uses the DX10-exclusive dual-screen feature (if you've only got DX9, don't despair, read on!), and users can choose between a whole bunch of cameras in order to fully capture the match in all its glory. Now... if you haven't gotten DX10 yet and still want to try this out, we've got a bit of a hacky work-around that will enable people to use the Tool with their DX9 install.
Sierra Entertainment today confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of World in Conflict won't appear in stores this year. The game has been delayed to sometime in 2008. The PC version was released a few weeks ago and has managed to get an average review score of over 92%. GameSpot PC even consider World in Conflict as the best game of the year up to now. A specific reason for the delay has not been given. Sierra Entertainment confirmed today that the Xbox 360 edition of World in Conflict, the award-winning action-strategy game developed by Massive Entertainment, will now ship in 2008. The game's original ship date was targeted for Fall 2007.
