RUMOR: DEATH OF THE FATHER OF LEGACY? *updated
*It’s official now, the developer has shutdown permanently -via Kotaku
As of late, it has become clear that not even the mighty gaming industry is immune to the powers of economic downturn. Reports around the web state that the offices for Nottingham based Free Radical were unexpectedly locked down today. Apparently the staff was notfied when they arrived for work. You may recall that this studio is comprised of staff from Rare’s Goldeneye and is also responsible for the developemnt of the much loved Time Splitters, and the mostly “meh’d” Haze. One can only hope this isn’t true, but many in the industry are taking such actions these days. Even big players like EA and SONY have cut jobs as of late.
