And considering that that did indeed happen, even before you posted no less (!), I'd say that the effort was a complete success.

Once I can compress it onto a 3.5″ floppy. Not long now! :)

Awesome. When’s it coming out?!?

If that were possible, I can only assume (based on the same principle) that I'm currently working on an platform game for the Amiga. And besides, the two guys from the HS team had left Ninja Theory ages ago.. Dean Calver was at Frontier from November 2007, and Mark Lack has been at Splash Damage since March 2008. Wonder why they didn't announce these hires when they happened? @Esha: You probably can’t get insight as to the type of game they’re working on from past employment.

Would love to see a proper shooter/rts hit the console world. Hiring someone connected ( especially a technical designer ) with World In Conflict suggests to me that's where they're going with this. Was Quake Wars good then? I wanted to have a look but the reviews put me off it... http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/02/18/gdc-splash-damage-says-new-action-ip-will-be-deeper-than-enemy-territory/
