if that sounds like the start of a corny joke its because it.. is...
A chartered bus full of game developers, on their way to a pre-GDC event, overturned on I-95 just outside of Springfield, Virginia earlier today. While at least a dozen of those onboard were severely injured, we’re told none of those casualties included anyone important. One eywitness explains.
The bus seemed to start sliding and slammed through the guard rail and slid down an embankment where it flipped on its right side. Fortunately that’s where all of the staff from Codemasters were sitting, so they caught the brunt of the impact. They broke the fall for the guys from Activision and EA… thank God. If the bus had flipped the other way,we might have lost some really talented people.
Codemasters made a statement just moments ago that the accident would have no effect on the release of their newest title, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.
We’ve already spoken with the folks at ITT Technical College, who assure us that they can provide us with comparably talented individuals from their TV/VCR repair program, who should be more than capable of finishing this game. So this is not an issue.
Much like Turning point, the injured Codemasters developers were listed in critically-flawed condition.
