Activision Goes Bizarre
September 26th, 2007 by Rajiv Ashrafi in PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox360
In a surprising bit of news, Bizarre Creations, the developers of Xbox-exclusive Project Gotham Racing series and Geometry Wars, announced that they have been acquired by Activision.
The announcement notes that this is not because of financial woes on part of the company and that they will not become “Activision Liverpool”. All employees of the company will remain, with the administration staying in place. Also, development teams will now move onto new games, whilst their shared technology team will take their experience and tech no new levels and new formats.
The update also reveals that they are working on a racing game and a character-based game for the publisher, though no exact details were served.

I wonder if this means that the PS3 will eventually get PGR4 or if MS will be able to put the only on Xbox stamp on the package. If you don’t see the stamp that is a big clue but I am sure that MS already paid for the exclusive rights to PGR4 though but maybe PGR5 will go up against Gran Tourismo as well as Forza from now on. I expect to see some big changes with PGR5 if that is the case.
