Outright Games says it’s looking to break the stigma that licensed titles are low quality by making better games
Licensed video games tend to have a negative perception. But this is a stigma Outright Games is looking to change, according to the company’s Nick Button-Brown.
Speaking with GamesIndustry, Button-Brown mentioned:
“It’s definitely still a stigma. We can overcome it by making better games. Not everything we make will be better, and sometimes you do just want a game out for a film and you don’t have enough time because the studio hasn’t given you enough time. You’ve only got 12 months so you’ve just got to get on with it. But what we want to do is spend a little more time on the games, work with developers. Perhaps more indie developers who have got something they want to do or a style of game they want to play with. We quite like that, taking something they’ve already been working on and making a good game that happens to have a licence on it.”
Ice Age: Scrat’s Nutty Adventure is being made by Just Add Water, the studio that helped out on the Outworld remakes. As GamesIndustry reports, the foundations of the upcoming licensed title had foundations in “something the developer was already experimenting with.”
