Remember, they're just a publisher. Yukes will still be the guys making the game. So its bound to suck just as much, but this time with a little more financial support.

Has that been confirmed yet though? I've read nothing stating that WWE games have to be developed by Yukes, in fact I'm pretty sure that's up to the publishers. For all we know, Take Two could give the project to another developer. Which would be what I'd want to happen. Actually, I think Yukes may have already started development of WWE '14. If that's the case, I'd let them finish that, and at the same time have another developer start the next installment, giving the new developers an extra year to get a hand on things without missing a year of games. Well, that's my fantasy handling of the situation anyway.

Their bankruptcy clause implicated all games currently in development had to be finished by the current developers, that's including WWE '14.

All the other THQ game studios were sold with their rights, so I'm assuming Yukes is too.

Judging by that, I'm guessing we'll see at least WWE '14 by Yukes, and hopefully a drastic change the next game.

Ah, thanks for the info. I'm hoping they go with the route I presented then, if they do have a new developer post-'14 then there going to need time to work certain things out. Giving them two years would be ideal. But this is pretty much confirming I'm skipping '14. No big deal, I still have '13, which I enjoy just fine.

An even bigger question for me is.... What's gonna happen to saints row? That's my shit, been playing that since the first, faithfully. Somebody has to make number four or I'm going to die! I can't go without hitting pedestrians in the nuts with a dildo. True statement.

I suppose some other company is gonna buy the rights to Saints Row games. I like them as well. :sad:

With that said it sounds much more better :happy:
I think Yukes would be able to produce a good game with more money, maybe will get some better graphics, options, and with that said the gameplay will probably end up the same, which was my biggest concern.
