Midway suffers midsized losses

I do enjoyed playing Stranglehold... thats awesome, and it was sequel to movie Hardboiled, and i heard stranglehold movie is in pre-production

I guess in having an emblem ready with this video interview, the decision was made to forget about the emblem after the fact to have a polished Video interview ready for us. The EMBLEM was deemed unnecessary, unimportant and inconsequential if we wanted a polished interview and an after the FACT demo out on time. Kind of like that genius idea to cut an online CO-OP feature that would have helped this generic rental/sale game. Go figure. Um let me see, without this sounding personal... Midway, want to know why you still in revenue? Well it's cheap, lazy lack luster games & down right bad decision making. Oh and I guess you better stick to big brother Viacom for help while selling & buying licensed game IPs cuss Hour of Victory will never be forgotten by those unlikely enough to know better.

If they brought the grid out on console or pc, that would be awesome

emagius, i truly dont know, did they? maybe they did with the previous MK games.

Has Midway turned a profit any year -- or even any quarter -- in the last decade?

I only like Midway mainly for Mortal Kombat.

I think 2D MK game will be great!! I miss Mortal Kombat 3 on Sega MegaDrive II :D

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is l337

MIdway is only a so-so compagny

Another 2D MK game would rule!!

forget Psi-Ops 2, where is The Suffering 3, thats why i don't buy any Midway games, they tend to forget the good stuff and realease bad stuff. No wonder the are losing money.

Hey Midway, can we finally get some details about the TNA Wrestling game?!

well it still sucks...

if a Wii version for armageddon comes out then midway doesnt consider wii a next gen console as they stated armageddon would be the last current gen and specifically for current gen game of MK universe :0

Thats a shame for Midway. Aside from the MK and PsiOps, they haven't had anything good come out in a long time. Psi had a great story, despite it having bad sales, I think if they stuck with content like PsiOps, they'll rebound. But they keep making the flash and dazzle games. Sorry, but the audience is looking for more substance now a days.

i think midway needs to go back to its roots, and figure out what made their games so good, so they dont have to make games based on movies or shows, and make some actulle good games.

A Wii version of MK Armageddon. Sweet! Hopefully many more games like this will be available for the Wii. Hopefully this will bring them back to bussiness, because I dont think Ant Bully or Billy and Mandy will set them back on bussiness.

...with the demise of Acclaim, Midway became my de facto "least favorite publisher". I can't really say I'm rooting for them.

Happy Feet is t3h l337

for the person under me. they will get Ut2k7 right. and Unreal Champ2 wasn't that bad. both seem better than MK if you ask me

Seriously, other than MK, Midway can't get any games right... But note, all their games (except MK series) are developed by OUTSIDE developers (Spy Hunter, Rampage).... that explains why they can't get the last 2 Spy Hunter games to be good.... If I didn't purchase Spy Hunter 3, their losses would be $22,200,039.99. LOL... I'm glad I could help!

midway....u used to be cool....nba jam te ftw....but not much lately....good luck

Yikes. That seems like a pretty substantial loss. Midway should try to diversify their target audience more and get some new original IP if they're going to keep going.

raquor - The Gamecube's controller featured a large main button because Nintendo openly entertained the desire to reduce the complexity of gameplay. The A button is big because they were trying to simplify the gameplay model and get away from having up to 12 control mechanisms in a controller by replacing it with one button that was content sensitive.

2trickedout: "because they can get by with first gen graphics" First gen huh? So gaming magicly started with the PS2 did it? So what, was the pre 64 bit era all just a massively enjoyable dream? I think not. This is why i hate the term "next gen" It spawns ignorant comments like this.

i lave you all i want make afrind about game i lave tekken too match but this game is not bad

armageddon for the Wii YAY!

that's what they deserve, for not bringing a MK game for PC for 9 years..

PSI-OPS 2 NOW YOU IDIOTS!!!

~~~"2TrickedOut with an awesome list of titles(happyfeet) lol its no wonder there doing so well. They will pick up sales from wii game sales because they can get by with first gen graphics and wii is mostly kids games anyway. They will Rise & Fall just like there new pc game. lol"~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Red Steel Call of Duty 3 MK:Armageddon Sure it has "kiddy" games based on cartoons, movies, and whatnot but those same games come out on every other platform. More likely the Gamecube got the kiddy image because it was purple and the main button on the controller was about 4 times as big as any other button.

Fight Club was developed by Genuine Games, the makers who brought us 50 Cent Bulletproof which managed to sell 2 million copies even though it was crappy. I'd love to see a Psi-Ops sequel. Unfortunately the game bombed. I doubt we'd see one. Hopefully STranglehold will be able to put Midway on the map again. And for the love of God, hire proper script writers and voice actors.

You make money off making good games. You make cheese games you make cheese profit. Besides for MK Armageddon I havn't seen anything developed by Midway in along time thats been decent.

i remeber playing on fight club and it was made by mid way and that was dispointing.game play was poo and it was slow but thire inproved loads.

They will be OK

Perhaps a new Psi-Ops would be good for sales?

with an awesome list of titles(happyfeet) lol its no wonder there doing so well. They will pick up sales from wii game sales because they can get by with first gen graphics and wii is mostly kids games anyway. They will Rise & Fall just like there new pc game. lol

MK Wii, that would be a killer app for WIi. (Goes to play MKA on PS2)

You say 10 years, more like 5. The last good game Midway released was Mortal Kombat Trilogy. The rest is all trash, come on, Happy Feet!?!

Took the words right out of my mouth Tyrant-666.

Acclaim anyone?

The only good game there is MK: Armageddon, the others suck.

Happy Feet? Mortal Kombat? Ant Bully? Seriously Midway, are you stupid? I don't see this company being around in 10 years, especially with the extremely poor quality of games they are developing at the moment. You want profit? Rethink the games you are to develop? I don't wanna see anything like Ant Bully littering the shelves at my local game shop again.

Guess what? I don't care!

Wow, too bad I'm not suprised at all.

Yeah here's an idea for making a profit in gaming. MAKE GOOD GAMES. That is all.

Midway should have made Armageddon for 360, I definitely would have bought it then. And then I heard that it wasn't backwards compatible, they dug their own grave. And how do they expect to make money off the Ant Bully and Billy an Mandy, even my 9 year old brother said those games are stupid, and he only read the titles. And now their making Blitz: the league for 360 a big deal and that game has been out for xbox for like a year. Its not looking good for Midway.

you know what, all those titles are going to suck anyway (except armageddon, its great!), and the gamespot folks know this, so why dont they just say it?

they seem to be too interested in trying to make money of movie ripoff games...need to get that original stuff out there

well, with games like happy feet....do they really expect to do that well?
