So first Sega walks away with the Iron Man rights, now Take-Two Interactive has procured the rights to publish games based off of the upcoming Fantastic Four sequel, subtitled The Rise of the Silver Surfer. The games will be released next year to coincide with the release of the film. No word yet on what consoles, but considering recent release trends for movie tie-ins, I'm gonna go ahead and bet on all of them.
Activision's handling of the FF was pretty piss-poor, releasing what seemed to me like an unfinished game on the general public, and Acclaim's Fantastic Four for the PS1 is widely considered to be one of the worst games of all time. Sue, Reed, Johnny and Ben's powers are just so different that no developer yet has come up with anything truly unique and massive enough to do the team justice. Third time's the charm? It's all on you, Take-Two.
Is it me, or is Activision hemorrhaging comic licenses lately?
