Didn't they make Fez?

Sounds like typical G4 to me.

The seventies.

[Avaitor]

Ah, the 70's. The age of Steely Dan, Norman Lear, and when Coppola actually made good movies.

[gunswordfist]

I just assumed Coppola became a producer or some shit.

Haze officially is the reason Timesplitters 4 wasn't made.

This industry has gotten so bad that one mistake can kill your entire company. Why people want costs to rise again this coming generation is beyond me.

[Foggle]

To be fair, Haze is one of the absolute worst shooters, if not games, I've ever played. It's not hard to see why that POS killed Free Radical. Though you have to wonder how Rebellion still gets work after Rogue Warrior, Shellshock 2: Blood Trails, and NeverDead.

Even Lair killed Factor 5 despite their pedigree. 'One strike and you're out' is a terrible philosophy for an industry because it leaves no room for trying new things.

That said... I would love a Bayonetta 2 situation! Even if that's far less likely.

I think it mostly depends on the budget. Lair and Haze cost a pretty penny, right? Meanwhile, literally every Suda51 game has failed to sell adequately, but Grasshopper is still going strong. Still though, creativity is discouraged in the industry these days, which is sad.

Well, since Crytek owns FR now, I can see them maybe making some cheap arcade-style PC shooters in the future.

Sucks to hear that NeverDead sucks.

That second "reason" why publishers didn't take TimeSplitters 4 is what bother me. How is having a game with multiple characters suddenly a bad thing?
