WWE won't want to sit out a year, though. So, I'd expect a game to be released. Might not be what we (as in OS) want, but hey, All-Stars and Legends of Wrestlemania were both a lot fun, so arcade for one year wouldn't be all bad.

If a title is released it won't be an arcade type game. It will probably be a WWE'13 remake with a better roster.

I don't expect 2K to do anything huge until the next generation of consoles.

ok common sense time, take 2 had financial problems before the release of gta 4 most likely cause they funded that project, as soon as gta 4 released problem solved, sooooooooo we're talking about a financial problem that happened years ago, they clearly arn't going anywhere anytime soon

Funny you should mention common sense. In regards to the context of the conversation Take Two was in financial trouble and near going bankrupt themselves as the original point was made. You said there was no validity to that rumor when in fact it was not a rumor but it was a fact that they WERE in fact in trouble themselves. Obviously they aren't now, but nobody said they were in trouble now.

For those doubting Take Two.....

WWE License will only add to that.

Now take some of that money and make a damn College Basketball game please.

no you're wrong, cause it all started when someone said they thought take 2 was on the brink of bankruptcy, when IN FACT IT WAS OLD NEWS

*Sigh*

I shouldn't have to do this, but okay, we'll go through this slowly and from the start so you get where this is coming from.

Clearly this is someone who isn't up on Take Two's current financial situation and is remembering reports of their near demise at the hands of EA.

Here is a person who clearly never even heard about that news or remembers it at least.

Here is you listing their catalogue of games and saying there's no validity to the rumor and not actually resolving the question.

GTA, Red Dead, 2K 11, 12, 13, Borderlands have helped Take Two get to where they are now. It wasn't a rumor that they were on the way out, it was actually a fact confirmed by EA and Take Two themselves.

Here I am resolving said situation by explaining that there was a point in time, a few short years ago that they were indeed on the way out and were very close to being acquired by another company and finishing off the concerns by explaining that those games as you listed have put the company in the good financial shape they are currently in and not in danger of going out themselves.

Here you are having that post fly right over your head.

EDIT: It's also worth noting that the guy said 2K and there has been concern about 2K Sports going bye-bye with them dwindling down their roster of games to just NBA 2K in the last few years. The only reason they're releasing a baseball game this year is because MLB is basically making them.
