Eh, Disney owns Marvel and it's still better than what DC is gradually becoming, imo. This should be fine.
If Disney supports Ignition to create better games and localize more titles, they can go right ahead.
Hope Ignition can continue creating amazing games. They have made some of my favorite games the past few years.
I really never thought that Disney would acquire a niche gaming company. This kind of sucks, because I doubt they're going to continue having interest in localizing small games that only generate minor profit.
Agent Francis York Morgan did always have an appreciation for movies so I can see him approving this move. Isn't that right, Zack?
I dont get it . Did he just write that Deadly Promonition was aclaimed. Thought it was one of the worst games u could buy for xbox.

Destructoid and a number of other outlets praised the game despite its flaws. Personally, I enjoyed the game so much that I imported Red Seeds Profile, the Japanese PS3 version of the title.

I'll second that notion. I love Deadly Premonition for many reasons, and I couldn't care less about the rough edges. For me, the games soul shines through every time.
I can't see Disney giving much of a damn about catering to a niche audience, though. I hope I'm wrong and that Ignition continue to put out these great, off-beat gems, but I'm certainly not going to hold my breath.

@Alex: its still cheap everywhere (well in the us), grab it, its very interesting and fun.
@jimbox: try it, go against the grain man.

I figured things weren't going well for Ignition when Shane Bettenhausen bailed a few months ago. It's too bad because they were definitely interested in publishing/developing really unique games.

Having just played the game I can say that it has its flaws (repetitive music and gameplay elements, which were my biggest problem with it), but its a damn good game. Considering it was supposed to be a PS2/xbox release in the first place, the fact that it survived at all and still managed to be pretty enjoyable is amazing. The big draw to the game is that its got a pretty decent -if off the wall- story, and lots of crazy side quests to do.
Plus, you can get it for $20 or cheaper, I got mine for 12 on Amazon through a sale.. And to me was worth it.

Good to hear they've been acquired (though is it weird that it seems like its taken months for this to happen? guess not, business being slow sometimes, and all.) but I hope Disney allows them to keep doing what they're doing for the most part. I'm okay with disney imposing that they do something for them every once in a while, but I don't want it to stop them from bring us some gems that no one would really think to play otherwise.

Ignition needs a kick-start from somewhere, but I'm not confident about Disney giving what is needed, looking at the subjects the catalogue of games deals with... lets pray that they see a bit of sense and allow Ignition to keep going.
Considering that Disney didn't kill the Marvel Max lines or intrude on the few creator-owned titles that Marvel published, they most likely won't meddle with the content of Dragon's Crown.
Besides, they released Little Mermaid and Gargoyles! They also own Miramax! Jay and Silent Bob's film appearances were released on the House of Mouse's dollar!
They are not as permissive as the likes of Sony Pictures can be with their animated fare but they aren't quite as prudish and over-bearing as people give them discredit for being.
