Details on acquisition come to light with the potential of more from performance-related bonuses...
Bizarre Creations cost Activision a pretty penny according to an article on Develop today; however, the figure could increase depending upon the financial performance of the Liverpool-based studio's output over the next three to four years.
Develop suggests that Activision forked out $67.4 million in cash to acquire the studio in late 2007. The figure could increase to over $107 million if the studio's titles meet certain commercial targets, although no indication of what these are has been revealed.
The details follow the $105 million acquisition of id Software by Zenimax Media earlier in the month, although both pale in comparison to the reported $375 million that Microsoft paid for Rare back in 2002.
Bizarre Creations is currently working on the multi-format combat/racer Blur and is rumoured to be working on a James Bond title.

A well justified argument there - well done... Seriously, I'm not entirely enthused by Blur - sure a good action/racer in the Mario Kart vein will be fun, but I don't see anything that's standing out at the mo.

looks great, always room for another driving game. Anonymous can only hold a controller for 10 minutes anyway.

Haven't played it yet - that's why the preview is First Look. These are just my first reactions following a game presentation held last month and yes, they are mixed. From what I was told and shown, I couldn't see anything particularly novel about the power-ups and other features. Some were interesting though, as I've spoken about at length.
Of course, it could play better than GT5 Prologue for all I know, but wouldn't you rather I gave you an honest opinion rather than a regurgitating press material?

Gynne I'm confused by this article. Have you actually played the game yet? Didnt you play it at E3? They had single player and 20 player multiplayer running - it was quality i was suprised how well it played.
Seems like you're shooting this game down before you've even played it yourself!

Well as long as they've got an equivalent of the Blue Shell to infuriate everybody when I'm languishing in last place - I'l be happy :)
