As the cost of making video games continues to rise, it becomes harder and harder to compete against the industry giants. Take for example, the apparent stranglehold that the EA Sports brand has enjoyed this generation in virtually every category of sports game on the market. While other companies may make games that receive just as much, if not more, critical acclaim from the press as EA’s franchises do, they still get outsold because they can’t compete with EA’s development and marketing resources and brand recognition.
Case in point, the NHL 2K series from Take Two and 2K Sports. While EA’s NHL series has always been consistently fun to play, most critics have agreed that NHL 2K has been a truer simulation of the game. However, this past Thursday Take Two released their Q4 financial report, where the company traditionally unveils their tentative line-up of titles for the next year, and it appears that NHL 2K10 may have been the final entry in the franchise. NHL 2K11 is notably absent from the report, while both the 2011 entries in 2K Sports’ NBA and MLB franchises are listed.
