Project Gotham holds special memories especially for those who were there at the beginning of Xbox and Xbox LIVE's life. It was a racing game which showed what the original Xbox could do. With Project Gotham 2 this opened up a whole new world with online capabilities and soon became a huge hit, Project Gotham 3 became a launch title for the Xbox 360 and again a revolutionary title which showed the capabilities of the Xbox 360.
From Eurogamer: "Staff from two big-name former UK studio are teaming up for a new set of projects.
Wushu Studios, which is largely made up of ex-Evolution staff members (think MotorStorm and Driveclub) is joining forces with Lucid Games, which is largely filled by former Bizarre Creations talent (think Project Gotham Racing)."
I just want Sony to hire Evolution staff back and make Driveclub 2. I believe after all the delays and problems Driveclub had in the beginning damaged the relations between Sony and Evolution, but in the end, Evolution did all they promised and much more, and Sony was to proud to "forgive" them and keep them as "internal studio".
Brian Woodhouse, the former studio director of Project Gotham Racing developer Bizarre Creations, has now taken up the position of head of business development at the British-based Lucid Games.
GamesIndustry: "Studio growth is risky - Bizarre Creations, Avalanche, Realtime Worlds and more help uncover the success and pitfalls of rapid expansion."
They made 2 of the most unappreciated games this gen - The Club and Blur. R.I.P.
They did yes, it's a shame
F*ck you Activision! and R.I.P The PGR franchise, loved PGR 4 on the 360, such a good racing game.
They made some good games.
They made some bad games.
They were...... Bizarre Creations.
R.I.P :(
I wonder who is next on the agenda?
They made excellent games that for some reason didn't appeal to the wider audiences. I hope some publisher picks up most of the remaining devs and creates a new studio.
