Well, just visited their site and found nothing new... just the old Summoner II/Red Faction II twaddle. Anyone know what their current projects are?

Judging from what was posted on the VBB before it was torn down they were supposed to be working on a Britney Spears game weren't they?

I can understand why they wouldn't want to put that up on their website :D

I asked about this a month after the release of RFII, in a poll on VW. Someone brought it up again on VW this summer, and someone from V posted to say yes, they're working on something and no, they can't tell us about it.

Yeah....

I doubt its the Britany Spears game,  I think we made that up at VW and like all jokes, someone took it seriously and now we have a rumor on our hands.  So I *doubt* its the next Britany Spears game.

But that aside....its definately "something" but its not really anything that anyone knows about right now.

This is somewhat off-topic, but does anyone know why they took the VBB down?

Cause it made baby Jesus cry :D

In actual fact it turned into a pit of flames, spam and trolling in its final days. V probably did us a favour closing the place down.

What karajorma said... Only the posters who either thought about what they were going to say, joined during a flaming slump, flamed right back, or looked past the flaming survived.

My theory is the VBB went down for two reasons--

1. They had neither the time nor the inclination to properly moderate it.

2. It was embarassing for their current flagship game (Red Faction) to be so mercilessly slagged on their own BB.

I'm still shaking my head at how all-around half-assed RF turned out.

Mm, looking back on it now, it's not so bad...

I was watching someone playing Enter the Matrix today, and was appalled at the physics. I told them about Red Faction and how you could blow holes in walls and toss things around.

Then again, maybe it was Halo's physics I was thinking of. I thought I remembered dead bodies being flung around with great violence and realism, but now I'm not so sure.
