Crazy Gamers Podcast

August 12th, 2009 — crazygamers Breaking news today indicated that GRIN, the Swedish developer responsible for games you probably haven’t played such as Wanted: Weapons of Fate, Bionic Commando, and Terminator Salvation, is officially no more. Due to an “unbearable cash flow situation,” the developer has informed all of it’s employees that the show’s over. HOWEVER, in an almost immediate response, some of its now former members have come together to form Outbreak Studios. This supposed new development team intends to make games for all of the major consoles and I guess, you know, make games that don’t suck?
Anybody really care here? A new team under a new name could lead to a difference in direction…but then again maybe not. I’m all for this new team to crank out some quality games if they can build on ideas they perhaps couldn’t get approved prior, but if it’s going to be just the same old stuff with a new name, forget it. I played the Wanted demo and it wasn’t HORRIBLE, but it wasn’t great by any means, and I’ve only seen poor reviews related to the other recent games they’ve put on the market. Time will tell, but you can read more for yourself at Joystiq.
