Chode Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Reported here and here I'll quote the short article Unreal II developer Legend Entertainment has been shut down by parent corporation Atari. There are no further details available. Despite that, Beyond Unreal is reporting that a final patch for the Unreal 2 XMP add-on is in the works and will be released, although there is no offical date yet. Wow....despite the varied acceptance of Unreal 2 by the games industry, that's a massive blow to the Unreal Tech. Geez, and Unreal 2 was to be part of the next generation of games.... woah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMan Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 What a bummer! Legend haven't created any really smashing titles (except maybe WoT, haven't played it myself though) - Unreal 2 was better than average but didn't really live up to the Unreal legacy (XMP's fantastic though). Still, I feel Legend is more valuable than, say, Raven, the king of half-arsed Q3A-based shooters. Oh well, R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quite Ltd. Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Wow! Gateway Homeworld was one of the best adventures I've played! Too bad for Legend...:( They were really good to us gamers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkinzer Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I liked the fact that they attempted to bring some sci-fantasy book series to the PC. They didn't always do a very good job, but they tried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
