Pirotic [mod] 18 Dec '08 11:30:01	no wonder if you don't turn up to work until gone 11! but seriously, is this true? if so that's terrible news, what about Time Splitters 4? I'd have imagined it was quite far along in development by now. And didn't you just nab the Starwars Clone Wars licence? (can you imagine LucasArts HQ - hey, that time splitters game has the same art style as our kids show, are you thinking what I'm thinking?? $ $) Edited by Pirotic at 11:31:50 18-12-2008 send message \| log in to reply!

Big Swiss 18 Dec '08 11:33:31	saw the answers too late. but is that normal? you lock people out, without at least informing them at least at the door????? sounds brutal........ Edited by Big Swiss at 11:35:44 18-12-2008 send message \| log in to reply!
sanctusmortis 18 Dec '08 11:33:51	Sounds to me like the landlords have repossessed the offices due to lack of payment. send message \| log in to reply!

mcmonkeyplc 18 Dec '08 11:36:43	Crap! Good devhouse :( Hope they re-form although in this climate it would be hard. send message \| log in to reply!
Hunam 18 Dec '08 11:36:49	Who is blaming who? FRD was/is one of the best developers this country has. Despite the mistakes with Haze they were still miles ahead of everyone else in terms of mixing gameplay and fun. send message \| log in to reply!
