Founders of Ensemble Studios Announce Formation of Robot Entertainment
PLANO, Texas - February 17, 2009 - Robot Entertainment announced today the formation of its new game development studio in Plano, Texas. Founded by many of the original founders of Ensemble Studios, Robot has a staff of 45 comprised entirely of former Ensemble employees. Robot’s team developed the hit franchise Age of Empires™, selling over 20 million units worldwide, and the soon-to-be released Halo Wars for Xbox 360™. Tony Goodman, the founder of Ensemble, is the CEO of Robot.
"The video game industry is in a state of upheaval,” said Mr. Goodman, “not just games, but the entire landscape. Everything is changing: where we buy games, how we buy games, how much we pay, how long we play, who we play them with. As a fast-moving independent team of game developers, industry leaders and market experts, Robot Entertainment is ideally positioned to play a transformative role in the industry’s future."
Robot Entertainment is working with Microsoft Game Studios to develop additional content for Halo Wars and support online gaming and community for both Age of Empires and Halo Wars. Additionally, Robot is developing its own original IP. [/quote]
Hope they make the FP's official!

Re: Site News - Robot Entertainment Press Release
This is great new, but +1 to Chaos I hope they dont take forever on it, they do seem pretty quick with announcements though, ie the announcement of the company and now theyre straight in with this.
And how much will they dedicate to these 2 games, i feel that they will push the priorities of these 2 down the list if they get any of their own developments/games going.

Re: Site News - Robot Entertainment Press Release
I think to start with they will be very quick with announcements and promises, they are a new company and want to keep interest/hype up. Whether they deliver or not and how long it takes is another story all together.

"They plan on developing their own IP..." that could mean anything. Any thoughts?

Re: Site News - Robot Entertainment Press Release
i heard from another sources that the es mods(or the new staff now) still read the emails they receive from age3abuse@ blablabla
i get the impression they won't make this game die, with further support and banning :-)

Weird, I've e-mailed age3abuse several times about different issues with players/cheating, nothing was ever done and none of my e-mails were ever returned or answered in any way shape or form... :roll:

If the players wont even give up on a game how can the creators, the parents of the game give up on it and leave it behind
