The Rag Doll Kung Fu team recently formed their own studio Media Molecule. Turns out for the past six months they’ve been working on a new game exclusively for PS3, which will be published by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
A quote from, creative director at Media Molecule, Mark Healey: “Working together on Rag Doll convinced us that a focussed and efficient team had the ability to deliver exciting and innovative content. The ambition for Media Molecule is to take that a step further and prove that a small and passionate team can deliver a world class, triple-A, next generation product. Sometimes the very unwieldiness of a massive team renders it much less efficient.”
Alex Evans, technical director for Media Molecule, added: “I think it is fantastic that a massive company like Sony has the vision to see that a smaller outfit can create a world class game.”
“We were immediately struck by Media Molecule’s ambitions for what a next-gen title could be,” commented Michael Denny, VP of Sony’s worldwide studios, via Gamesindustry.
If you thought those quotes were vaguely alluding to something yet not saying much at all, wait till you read what the VP of Sony’s worldwide studios, Michael Denny, has to say about any tangible information like say… the game’s name or description… Turns out they “look forward to presenting the game publicly in due course.” That’s almost as annoying as “It’s done when it’s done.” 😛
