Very interesting thread as there are so many talented game developers in Britain (unmatched imo). These are just some of those I see as the most prominent.

If there is something we are good at it's sitting down, having a nice tea and doing some computer work. Best engineers and programmers in the world here.

Video Games are our entertainment biggest industry and a lot of money is invested in it. Government are a bit stupid when it comes to this fact mind you and have only just introduced a tax break for it. We need to encourage more youth to get into it.

Exactly x}

Agreed. The tax break came far too late and a lot of damage was already done. Many of our most talented developers moved to Canada or US in the meantime. Still I'm sure British game development can recover and match its former glory. One doesn't have to look any further than the recent GTA V, Alien: Isolation, Forza Horizon 2 and Driveclub.

I have a lot of faith in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight, Crackdown 3, Hellblade and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Hopefully we'll see a return of the great TimeSplitters, The Getaway, Wipeout and Fable as well.
