Over at Edge’s job section you can see that Rockstar North – you know, that tiny Scottish-based dev firm that does those open world thingies called ‘Grand Theft Auto’ – is looking to fill eight positions.

The jobs range from level designer, AI programmer to senior tools programmer giving us that sneaky suspicion that perhaps a new title is on the way. Either that, or eight people just left and they need replacing.

So, fancy a job working for one of the best development houses in Europe? All through the link.

Speaking under conditions of strict anonymity to VG247 this morning, a source close to the matter has said that Rockstar North is working on a “brand new IP.”

Cryptically, the spy added: “It’s not 100 percent sure it’ll ever see light of day, anyway.”

The comments come after EGM published a rumour yesterday that the GTA developer is working on a new PS3 game, as well as putting together a third Max Payne.

Our source couldn’t confirm whether or not the new IP was a PS3 exclusive.

Rockstar North is also working on DLC for GTA IV at the moment, the release date of which is still to be confirmed.

Update: Got some more on this now. The new game’s not even confirmed for release, according to our source.

According to the rumour section of the latest of EGM, Rockstar currently working on Max Payne 3 and a new PS3 game.

We heard about the new title for the first time last week at Leipzig. We’ll have some more for you later this morning.

It may have “OMG!” scrawled inexplicably on its sidebar, but Gamepro can put together a pretty solid list. Today, the site rattled off its top eight most powerful videogame studios, and we mostly agree. In no particular order, Gamepro gave the nod to:

• Epic Games
• Bungie
• Rockstar North
• Maxis Software
• EA Tiburon
• Sony Computer Entertainment
• Blizzard Entertainment
• Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development

Valve, Infinity Ward, and Harmonix took home runner-up ribbons.

So, can you think of anyone who’s missing? We can’t, but we’ll probably end up face-palming and saying “duh” once you guys get to commenting.

This is awesome. Mike Dailly, one of the original DMA Design staffers, has shared his photo collection from the early days of the studio, which eventually became Rockstar North and took responsibility for that funny Grand Theft Auto Game.

“Mike Dailly, one of the originals from DMA has uploaded several photo sets to Flickr, showing the background daily life of DMA from the early 90′s right through to the point the company became Gremloid/Rockstarred,” said PR stalwart. Brian Baglow.

There’s some amazing stuff in there, including a 3D visualisation of the original GTA, as well as a game called “Kid Kirby”, which never released.
