- Bizarre staff recall Activision closure - 11 April 2011
In a brand new episode of Eurogamer Asks , the three studios formed from Bizarre Creations' ashes have talked to Eurogamer TV about their experience of Activision's controversial cull. While many had braced themselves for a bump, it seems few were prepared for collapse. "It was a shock that it was actual closure - completely," admitted Peter Collier, senior level designer of James Bond game Blood Stone and The Club. "I think it's always unexpected, that kind of thing." Senior tech programmer Martin Linklater was caught unawares, too. "I was surprised they closed it down," he said. "I wasn't surprised there were going to be job losses; I thought they might trim the staff by 25 per cent - something like that. "But yeah, a total closure - it was just a really big blow. I hadn't been there that long, but a lot of the guys who had been with Bizarre since the early days were really crestfalle…
- Hogrocket's Ben Ward on Bizarre closure - 29 March 2011
US publishing giant Activision angered many gamers when it closed one of the UK's most respected developers: Bizarre Creations. But for one former Bizarre staff member, it was just "business". Hogrocket, the newly formed micro-studio founded by Peter Collier (senior level designer on Blood Stone/The Club), Stephen Cakebread (creator of Geometry Wars) and Ben Ward (Bizarre community manager), has spoken for the first time on Activision's closure of the Project Gotham Racing maker. Activision shuttered Bizarre following poor sales of eye-catching racing game Blur and James Bond action game Blood Stone. Speaking to Eurogamer, Ward admitted he, and others at the now closed developer, struggled to work under the ownership of publishing behemoth Activision. "It's not enough to point the finger at one little factor and say, 'that's it" he said, pondering an explanation for Bizarre's closure. "…
- Geometry Wars creator forms Hogrocket - 23 March 2011
Yet another studio has risen from the ashes of Bizarre Creations. Hogrocket is a new micro-studio based in the North West and founded by Peter Collier (senior level designer on Blood Stone/The Club), Stephen Cakebread (creator of Geometry Wars) and Ben Ward (Bizarre community manager). Hogrocket will initially target iPhone/iPad, PC and Mac, Ward said in a release sent out this morning. "Our first game is underway, although we have yet to announce it. Watch this space!" Activision shut Bizarre Creations, the developer behind the likes of Project Gotham Racing, Geometry Wars and Blur, last month. Hogrocket is the second studio formed by former Bizarre staff members in the month since closure. Lucid Games was formed by Pete Wallace , a former Bizarre senior manager. Ex-Bizarre design manager Gareth Wilson joined Sheffield based Outrun Online Arcade developer Sumo Digital as its new chief…
- Bizarre says goodbye with farewell video - 18 February 2011
Liverpool developer Bizarre Creations closes today and it's said goodbye with a touching video showcasing its superb portfolio of games. Video "Farewell Bizarre...it's been an absolute pleasure!", below, was put together by Bizarre's video editor Eamon Urtone . It references many of Bizarre's games, including Project Gotham Racing 4, Geometry Wars and The Club. "Dedicated to all the talented guys & girls at Bizarre Creations," reads the video's subheading. Bizarre began life in 1994. In November 2010 owner Activision announced its intent to offload the developer, citing poor sales of its excellent Blur racer. "Bizarre is a very talented team of developers, however, because of the broader economic factors impacting the market, we are exploring our options regarding the future of the studio, including a potential sale of the business," said a statement released at that time. However, no…
- What makes games frustrating? - 8 November 2010
What have you been up to this week? I've spent most of it staring at a near-vertical assortment of pipes and beams and wishing I was dead. I've also been inventing guttural new expletives that threaten to bring Social Services to the door. God only knows what the neighbours have made of it. Late to the party I know but yes, I've been playing Trials HD. I have spent significantly more time failing at the game than making progress. And yet, this has been one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I've had in the last five years. For the purpose of this article it's really not important that I'm stuck in a game - we've all been there. What matters is that, following a six hour marathon trapped in the same desperate cycle of failure, I can only bring myself to turn the console off for five minutes before rebooting for just one more go. When I fall asleep, I do so with mental attempts to s…
