Wipeout-bagmænd danner nyt team under navnet Firesprite

Sony Liverpool, eller Psygnosis som de var kendt for lang tid siden, blev som bekendt lukket tidligere på året, og det var vi mange der var kede af, det udvikleren blandt andet stod for Wipeout-serien. Nu fortæller IGN dog at flere af de tidligere medlemmer af Studio Liverpool, har slået sig sammen under et nyt navn: Firesprite.

Chris Roberts fra udvikleren havde følgende at sige om formålet:

"We have been working hard on creating a new game engine and tool chain that allows us to put the creative power in the best hands - the artists and designers. That puts us in a great position delivering the best experiences for players. It also allows us to get our games running on multiple platforms including mobile - so we can deliver platform specific features that make the best games."

Roberts kunne dog desværre ikke gå i detaljer med hvilket spil der blev arbejdet på, men sagde alligevel følgende:

"Unfortunately, I can't talk about the next game yet, but sometime soon I hope. We do love playing with new ideas and technology and have put a lot of work into building a game engine. We're excited about the future. It's a great time to be making games and it's what we love."
