(Compilation/Flower Sword Shadow) According to overseas media news, skateboarding game "Tony Hawk" development company Robomodo due to poor performance, has lost the independent development of the game project rights.　　To this end, the company has to lay off a lot of staff and will announce the list of employees to be laid off today. In a recent statement, Robomodo game company president Josh Tsui confirmed the layoffs: "It is painful to cut down hard and valuable staff, but we hope to recall them when we receive the next game project." "This August, the Robomodo gaming company's studio in Chicago announced the development of Tony Hawk: Slip!" 》。 The game is aimed at 6-12-year-old players, landing Xbox 360 and PS3 two platforms. But the price of up to 120 dollars and the need to bundle the snowboard peripherals to the normal game settings, so that the game in the first one months of the listing has been criticized. Despite the president's Josh Tsui that the game was ultimately "successful", the actual sales volume was dismal.　　Not only that, but also take back the Robomodo of the game project independent development rights, indirectly led to Robomodo dismiss the project staff horrors. Robomodo game company by Josh Tsui and four partners in 2008 together, the majority of the team in the Midway development "real quick hit" when the cooperation, and then joined together the "Duel Night 3" development. After EA closed the Chicago Studio, several old partners together set up a Robomodo, soon from the hands of the move to receive the "Tony Hawk: Slippery!" Development task, which is the only Robomodo to date. If the partnership with the Robomodo is over, it is likely to get bogged down in an uncertain situation. (Edit/Ming)
