Title: Clover Studios closing down
Post by: idolminds on Thursday, October 12, 2006, 07:34:42 AM

Noooo! (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=11229)

Well, Capcom is dissolving the studio. Thats the bad news. The good news is apperantly the Clover people were going to leave and form a new studio anyway.

Well, we know firsthand that's bullshit.  So what really did happen?

Edit:  I suppose profitability is key. But Okami just came out.  No one has given it much of a chance yet.  Plus the game is so superior that if any of the higher-ups at Capcom really cared about what it is they produce, they'd be polishing Clover like a gem.  It always comes back to the same crap, doesn't it?  More brilliance snuffed out.

Well shit, that sucks.  Hopefully they create a new studio.

Yeah, I sincerely hope so.  Okami is a testament to their utter genius.  They're really good at what they do, and they should be given more money to continue doing it.  This is a lousy reward.

Well that sucks.  Viewtiful Joe was a good game.

They just released Godhand too. Looks like Capcom was just waiting to get the goods and just gave them the boot.
