Angry Birds dev acquires Shattered Horizon studio

Angry Birds with PhysX and DirectX11 support? Sounds way too good to be true.

this isnt even worth downloading via torrent lol Rovio make a real game then we ll talk

... Well allright. Not like it would change much. Rovio never made any good games. The ONLY game that somehow ended up good was Angry Birds, and even that game's fanbase is mostly made up of casual idiots who played the game for 10 minutes yet talk like they played it for a year.

Nope. NOPE. NOAP. Nope. Just Nope. NOAPE. Nope.

If by rapid expansion, you mean remaking your trademark game over and over... keep up the good work?

Given Rovio's track record (HUGE number of bad games, and 1 mediocre game that sold well), I can't see this ending well.

So, are we gonna see an Angry Birds with needlessly awesome graphics?

they better let this studio keep creating first person shooters.

That's a smart move on Rovio's part since I doubt any of the programmers there have the knowledge to create anything 3D. I don't mean any hate towards Rovio when I say that. It's just that the leap from 2D to 3D is a large one when it comes to programming. Either way, expect an Angry Birds 3D in the next year or so.

Shattered Horizon, despite it's flaws, was a fun and creative title in a genre that is generally lacking in new ideas. I hope Rovio can help them get some more face recognition so their future titles get a larger community.

This is such a random acquisition, I swear =)) Will the next 3DMark physics tests feature the Angry Birds?
