    PGR4 developer now owned by Activision



    why didn't MS already own them? They only make a flagship racing title that's exclusive to their console, until now.

    Because they have Forza, which has a bigger audience, and is made by Microsoft themselves?

      I wonder if this means that there is now a possibility that "PGR 5" would be coming to the PS3...

        Usually it means a smaller, indie developer just got a big payday selling to a huge company and the quality goes downhill....Hopefully not, but usually the true talent at these places like to run under their own rules.

          there may be a pgr like game on the ps3, but MS owns the PGR franchise, and sega owns the MSR franchise.

            Great, maybe Activision can continue their trend of buying smaller developers and ruining them. Wonderful news

              Yeah, MS owns Project Gotham, you won't see it on the PS3. I'm sure it'll be under a new developer now for PGR5.

                It's only a rumor, but it's interesting.

                Bizarre sacked from PGR series prior to sale

                Did Microsoft's in-house dev decision prompt sale to Activision?

                Before its recent acquisition by Activision, Bizarre Creations had already been told by Microsoft that it would no longer be used for the development of future instalments of the microsoft-owned PGR series - thus ending a close working relationship and presumably prompting Bizarre's eventual sale.

                According to an inside source who cannot be named (such is the way with these things), Microsoft had informed Bizarre that it would be taking development of future Gotham games in-house, before Bizarre had decided to put itself up for sale.
