Another Hollywood studio enters the games fray, although majority of properties will be through publishers
Universal Studios plans to directly fund more games development projects after last week announcing it had signed up Bionic Commando developer GRIN last week to produce an adaptation of blockbuster movie Wanted.
The game is Universal's first totally-financed video game - but it won't be the last; the Hollywood studio has outlined its 'hybrid' games strategy which looks to exploit better relationships with game studios and publishers.
At E3 last week the studio announced that it had signed GRIN to produce the game 'sequel' to Wanted and had also chosen Hollywood contemporary Warner Bros Interactive to publish the game.
Now Universal plans to turn its other TV and film properties into games as part of a plan to 'selectively finance games while still licensing out the majority of its titles', Variety reports.
