And the Redneck goes to Blizzard

[Lexx]

Seems like Blizzard has bought the Redneck Rampage licence from Interplay. (I have no clue, but for me it looks like that. Or not? Please input.)

So, will we see a first person shooter by Blizzard? We will see, I think. The comic-like graphic could maybe fit well with the Blizzardy style, in my opinion.

EDIt: Okay, now this is obvious.
Merger caused the game series to be listed as Blizzards.
Nothing to see, move on.

BTW:
Redneck Rampage.

Redneck.

Rampage.

Probably one of the best names for a game series.
Havent actually played the originals though.

Interplay didn't hold the license anymore, as per IncGamers' own description

Anyway, Big Download has a good explanation as to why this license went to Blizzard and how it doesn't imply Blizzard is working on a sequel.

Too bad they probably won't do anything with it. Redneck Rampage was cool

 

[Lexx]

So probably no new Redneck Rampage.


Mah, anyway... maybe it is good this way too. There are way too much shooter out there at the moment. The marked is flooded one could say.

 

[DirtyDreamDesigner]

Yes, but there hasn't been a shooter like Redneck Rampage since, well, Redneck Rampage.

Which reminds me, do you guys know if the rights to Lost Vikings are still with Interplay, or are they with Blizzard too (who had actually made it for IPLY)

?
