Thursday 29-Mar-2007 10:05 AM Samuli Syvähuoko's new studio Recoil Games begins work on action game for PS3, 360 and PC
Remedy Entertainment co-founder Samuli Syvähuoko has left the Max Payne and Alan Wake dev to form new studio Recoil Games, and it's first project out the door will be an action game based on a brand new intellectual property.
An announcement on Recoil Games states it's mission is to create action games "with the scope, feel and ensemble cast of disaster movies. This is a large untapped area of the industry and Recoil plans to lead the way with its innovative Cinegames design techniques."
It adds that these games "will feature huge stories, and require a large ensemble cast-often working together-to solve the many varied challenges, including internal human conflict, another area mostly overlooked in today's action games."
PC and the new wave of consoles are the platforms being targeted by the developer, Finland-based Recoil explaining that its first game will potentially release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
Additional founding team members at Recoil include staffers formerly at the likes of Codemasters, Ubisoft, Guerrilla Games and Treyarch - and more Remedy chaps.
First details on Recoil's initial project will be released at some point this year. With ex Remedy staff involved, we're intrigued to see what will be unveiled.
