Thrill Kill Rights

[saintlestrange]

Hi

Bit of an obscure one but I read online that the rights to a game that was due to be released on the PS1 were bought by EA from Virgin Interactive before the game was cancelled and shelved.

Do EA still retain ownership of this property or has it now gone public domain?

Hey @saintlestrange I actually have no idea what the current rights situation is in relation to Thrill Kill.

I spent years eager to play it and when on holidays a decade and a half ago found a bootleg of the game for sale on a market stall. Sadly it really wasn't much fun to play as once you got over the violence it was just another dull fighter.

Ya see i quite enjoyed it but feel like it needed a bit more

The reason im quizzing this up is im wanting to know where id stand legally with recreating this game or rebooting it
