Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft shows interest with Bizarre Creations

They have some interest in buying Bizarre Creations or the staff. Make sense because they wanted to do another PGR game.

Little late MS 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D 

Well no matter where they end up I think it'll be an improvement over Activision for Bizarre. As I said when news first broke yesterday about this whole situation I wish everyone at Bizarre the best of luck and really believe they deserve better than how Activision has treated them.



Didn't MS used to own Bizzare Creations?



It makes sense. They probably want to buy them up on the cheap and they know who the key players in the studio are so they can target them with incentives to stay.



Tease.

No. They were a second party studio

Good decision if MS does this. I love PGR and I love Geometry Wars.



Good choice microsoft, better than the one you were making earlier. 



 

Racing games are one of Microsoft's biggest draws. Sure Sony has GT but Microsoft has Forza and PGR. If Microsoft bought them up and brought them in house they could work on the next big racer. Forza 4 and a new PGR. Maybe Microsoft could give them the liscense to do a MicroCart racer to compete with MarioKart.

It makes sense for Microsoft to aquire Bizarre!

Did you just really confused Bizarre Creations with BLIZZARD?

Bizarre Creations is the developer of Project Gotham Racing and Blur.

Blizzard Entertainment is the maker of Warcraft and Starcraft.

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.
