Very good and interesting news https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-12-13-relic-names-heidi-eaves-coo
Heidi Eaves, former relic vet that worked on homeworld 1 and voiced Karan S'Jet, voice of fleet command become Chief Operations Officer of relic and according to Relic GM Justin Dowdeswell by short time alrrady make overwhelmingly positive changes in relic managment and culture
"Finding the right appointment for the COO position was critical for us in continuing on our journey to becoming a destination studio both by releasing great games and nurturing incredible talent," said Relic studio director Justin Dowdeswell. "We needed someone who could impact the way we make games and the way we run the studio and Heidi, who has been at the studio working with the Talent Team for a few months, has already had a huge impact on the studio and our teams. She is exactly the right person to help us continue moving forward."
Maybe she is right person, who rehabilitate relic from epic dow 3 failure and awful disgusting promotion of aoe 4 and bring back with coh 3 old relic good qualities of games?
It's updated only recently, but it's sad day, lead COH 2 designer since september 2013 Mitch Lagran left relic, I think this guy really did great job to improve coh 2 after rocky start and turn coh 2 to one of the best rtses ever, also he was designer on space marine, campaign lead on ardennes assault and was lead designer on aoe 4.
I don't know much about gaming developers but I would assume their revenue is cyclical. What that means is they have significantly higher revenue streams in a year where they release a game. Similar to maybe a business that only operates in summer months.
Either way, accountants can find ways of moving money around for tax purposes so I wouldn't read too much into it.
Stop being so cynical, we can criticize relic but should hope they succeed, considering so many of us here enjoy their games.
I'm agree with you opinion, I'm still ready support relic, even after some shit that happens, but anyway I don't think I ever buy AOE IV by reason that in my opinion is that communication of the game looks like complete disaster and very likely kill interest for the game for very many player and more possible make it doa, but I'm ready buy coh 3 and support them in future with other titles if they learn things from dow 3 (in terms of how to not change already working formula) and aoe IV (in terms of level of communication and interaction), but only after taste close/open beta. Also I'm clearely ready buy actual new content for coh 2 (not skins), if they bring us new dlcs.
So what happened to Valeran? Made a lot of trigger posts and where is he now?
I'm here, I'm just sit and wait, also cross fingers for relic for not to fk up commander revamp patch and new commanders like they did with dow 3 and last coh 2 patches.
Don't see big difference between coh 1 and coh 2, coh 1 just had gray filter and nothing more. And effects are same, it's not the same situation with dow 3, where low details on environment and clear textures on units with awful anims make game looks like goofy-cartoony.
What do you mean "cancelled prototype with realistic graphics"? Both CoH2 and DoW3 have goofy looking cartoon graphics compared to the gritty and dark ones of CoH and DoW/DoW2.
Good news everyone, Geoff Coates, art director that setup vizual style for coh 2 and dow 3 cancelled prototype wwith realistic graphics back to relic to work on unnanounced project at relic. Maybe this mean we will see soon announce of coh 3? https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoff-coates-71abb532
That's so wrong on so many levels. You use assumptions, random websites, the idea that Relic isn't standing on the shoulders of Sega, that there haven't been any other investors, random other stuff, and many other factors that you just ignore or don't even know about.
This thread is just rumourous scaremongering - bar on the level of plants being sprayed with Dihydrogen Monoxide. Even the thread title is clickbait.
Ok, change title, sorry
Hmm, I don't be able, may moderators change name to, "according to owler relic has extremely low revenque" or something like that?
