Midway making a scene

Substance · 13 Oct 2007 at 02:02

Anyone else notice this smalltime developer making a lot of noise recently?

The last I heard of them they were just a small time producer of mortal kombat and even that was poor in it's last few remakes.

All of a suden they are producing Stranglehold, Blacksite :area 51 and even the epic UT3, seems like someone is throwing their money around

Too true. They have been lurking in the shadows for some time though. Glad to see them come out and bash out some pretty good games though =D

Everytime I play a Midway game I think "wtf am I playing here, this is so bad".

I think they should give up, I seriously think that most of their games a good ideas turned into a shoddy excuse of a game.

imo of course.

i do remember midway from "back in the day" they made loads of classics on the mega drive

It just seems like they did nothing since then until now when their name is plastered over everything

They are really pushing into the market as a publisher these days. They are publishing UT3 which is a pretty big game.

I thought they went bankrupt. :S

I assume they've been bought out and it's a totally new company using their name. Like what happened with Atari.
