Lionhead Shakeup [March 04, 2006, 12:31 am ET] - Viewing Comments
The Movies Planet (thanks Brian)
reports that Lionhead has internally revealed that it will be downsizing from
three development teams to two, and that this means the upcoming Stunts and
Effects expansion for the movies will be the end of development of additional
content for the game. The news is not attributed, it simply starts with "We
understand..." but verification can be found in a post by an admin on the
Lionhead Studios Forums (thanks
GameSpot). Here goes: Over the last few months Lionhead has been
working on plans for a new AAA world class game. As work on a number of its
titles draws to a close, a pool of 100 super talented developers at Lionhead are
available to create a new super team at Lionhead. This will be in addition to an
existing team which is working on an amazing next generation title. This
strategy was presented to Lionhead this morning in a company meeting but sadly
it will mean some redundancies.
We are still continuing our support of the Movies, with new downloads on the
Propshop, an add-on disk in summer, and the announcement of the winner of the
Chrysler competition at E3.

Wow, this PR guy must love his job. I dunno, I don't think he's trying hard enough. He's leaving out obvious opportunities. Observe:

Note to Lionhead: More people does not equal better game.

Translation: Umm... we made some okayish games that didn't sell too well, have more people then we can afford, have to downsize. Thank you.

I don't know, I personally liked Black & White 2 and The Movies. They aren't Syndicate or Dungeon Keeper, but they were better than a lot of the same regurgitated stuff that's made up most of the last year (and hey, neither of those games needed a zillion patches to run right unlike several other popular titles.) I couldn't get into Fable mind you, it just felt too dumbed down as an RPG. I'm curious to see what their next-gen stuff is.

Call me when they start producing good games, rather than just concepts bingo.

It just looks like that because the sims produces so many, and each one has a thread

Dear Lionhead, while I know you will never see this comment, it should still be said that The Movies is a game which needs MULTIPLE FUCKING EXPANSION PACKS, not just one, you idiots
this sucks.
