Game development studio TimeGate, known for Section 8, F.E.A.R. Files, and most recently their involvement in Aliens: Colonial Marines, has been hit with lay-offs.<\/p>\n
“Today, we had to make the difficult decision to let go of some great game developers,\u201d said TimeGate president Adel Chaveleh. \u201cThis is never easy, and we’re doing all we can to assist those developers affected.\u201d<\/p>\n
TimeGate jumped into the mainstream headlines following on from the snafu that was the release and subsequent reception of Aliens: Colonial Marines<\/a>. TimeGate was revealed to have been involved with the development of the game, in which the quality of the unplayable pre-release demo ended up being very different from the final game<\/a>.<\/p>\n The layoffs have said to have affected around 25 people and were connected to a publishing deal falling through.<\/p>\n Chaveleh also said that due to the imminent release of new consoles, the studio\u2019s focus is to plan and develop for new systems.<\/p>\n “TimeGate is preparing, as is the entire industry, for the transition to next-generation consoles and new business models. As part of this reinvention, all projects and strategic initiatives continue to move forward at the studio,\u201d said the studio president.<\/p>\n Alien games that don\u2019t suck<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The truth behind Aliens: Colonial Marines development<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Aliens Colonial Marines \u2013 a nauseating nightmare?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Aliens: Colonial Marines PC system requirements revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nSource: Polygon\u00a0<\/a><\/h6>\n
