Digi-Guys, the wholly owned subsidiary of Ignition, is based in a high-end facility inside the world famous Ealing Studios (London, UK) and focuses on Videogames & High End CGI, Post-Production and VFX for movies. Its primary responsibility is to push far beyond the confines of conventional ‘next-generation’ thinking in order to produce unique, innovative and platform leading Videogames & Digital content across all media, utilising a broad spectrum of Games & Movie CG experience.

WarDevil for the PS3 is the first of these projects, representing a cornerstone of the new type of media-rich co-operations that are the leading drivers in UTV Software’s overall global strategies. The project has been shrouded in ambiguity for 18 months with its first official engine demo playing a part in Sony’s PS3 launch at E3 2006. Work at the studio is continuing but is being held under wraps for the time being, with major announcements due closer to TGS2007.

“We’re delighted to be part of the UTV family, as this gives WarDevil the ability to cross many artistic and technical boundaries and become a leading IP for the PS3,” comments the founder of Digi-Guys and Ignition’s Creative Director, Andy Whitehurst. “By focusing on cutting edge technology and fusing both games and movie technologies together, we’re able to create one of the first true hybrid projects that will literally bridge the gap between the two mediums. It’s a very exciting time for everyone involved, as we continue to push back the boundaries to create a world beating IP.”

Some footage of this would be nice, but having a PS3 this early, I've grown accustomed to waiting lol...

Waiting for TGS, waiting for E3, waiting for devs, I'm ready to be flooded with content baby...

Finally it seems like 2007 is the year I retire from the forums for a bit:pleased:

Our 50 - 50 vapourware prediction straight down the toilet hahahaha!

Great find. I was going to comment on the irony that we were just talking about this game only days ago until I saw Liquid do just that already hahaha, and also about it possibly not even coming to life lol. XD

So far it seems the game will be a PS3 exclusive.

I'm really looking forward to see some more exclusive games coming out for the PS3.

I'm tired of ports and multiplatform games.

I am still on the fence over this game. they have some impressive parts with their technology, but the actual game doesn't attract me at all.

I need to see some game-play footage to decide.

I'm not sure of this, there engine is called "RTE 1080p", and I don't think that the 360 can handle such a definition.

Says Andy Whitehurst, the Creative Director spearheading 'War Devil', "The project is being developed exclusively for the Sony Playstation3(tm) and we're excited to be associated with Sony's next generation system. WarDevil is designed to leverage not only the videogames properties of the system, but also the Blu-Ray and media rich functions of the PS3 - presenting a unique combination of both Videogame & Motion Picture into a single, unique product, which gives cinematic High Definition content (1080P) in real-time on the PS3."http://forums.e-mpire.com/showpost.php?p=1323897&postcount=1
