I doubt that I big company like Fox would sell their video games division to some bankrupt companty, they are not that stupid. And how would a bankrupt company be able to afford Fox Interactive?

[Reply #2 on:]

They have bought fox interactive, but they are not nearly bankrupt, this is merely a nasty rumour!!    the fat green blob above me is correct in saying that fox would not sell to a company going under, as this would disadvantage them

[Reply #3 on:]

Yay! The green blob is correct! Horay for blobby!

How much did they pay for Fox Interactive?

[Reply #4 on:]

Doesn't hurt my chances of getting the game, as SCi are publishing it in Europe :P

[Reply #5 on:]

Would SCi also be doing it for other PAL countries?

[Reply #6 on:]

SCI = everywhere except north america.

[Reply #7 on:]

What PAL countries aren't in Europe. I know South Africa is PAL....is Oz?

[Reply #8 on:]

who in their right mind would use NTSC?

Heh, those smilies are cool 

[Reply #11 on:]

Did Fox Interactive ever did a good game?
Btw, nice smilie, Carbito!

[Reply #12 on:]

Both "No One Lives Forever" and NOLF2 were published by Fox Interactive, and I like to think those were pretty good games. 

[Reply #13 on:]

NOLF 1 was just a really fun FPS, and I'd imagine 2 was the samme. I don't mean the "just" in a bad way, very refreshing

okay, never played these games, but i think they did publish some sort of interactive X-Files Episode. That Game had 10(!) CD-ROMs.
Also, their Game Engine looks kinda bad.
