Activision doing Hong Kong action game
Developer United Front announces it.
Vancouver-based United Front Games has announced that it is working on an action game set in Hong Kong for Activision.
There are no other details on the game, although the studio's website says it's an officially licensed developer for PS3 and Xbox 360.
General manager Stefan Wessels bigged up his staff's backgrounds at the likes of EA, Radical, Black Box and Rockstar in the press release.
"We have assembled industry talent from around the world, who have worked in senior positions on renowned titles such as the Need for Speed series, SKATE, Bully, Scarface, Godfather, Hulk, spore and the NHL Sports franchise," he said.
The developer is currently hiring for various positions including a multiplayer programmer.
We've contacted Activision to see if it will say anything else on the subject.

I mean, seriously the number of good action movies coming out of HK has slowed to a trickle over the last decade, Donnie Yen has basically been keeping it going single-handedly. The heydey of the so-called "heroic bloodshed was the late 80's early 90's, with the rise of new "tradtional" kung-fu movies following on in the mid-90's.
Obviously there have been break-out hits like the Infernal Affairs trilogy, but they are more dramas than action-pieces. Main thing though is that HK is no longer the centre of the action genre universe. There simply isnt enough product, and things like the rise of the Thai film industry have redrawn the map.
