Activision Gains Bizarre Creations News

The studio behind The Club and Project Gotham confirms its acquisition by Activision...
PGR4 hasn't raced onto shop shelves and we're all waiting to join The Club, but that hasn't stopped Liverpool-based Bizarre Creations from announcing that they are no longer an independent studio. In a quite frankly surprising (dare we even say, 'bizarre') move, the outfit has been acquired by Activision. There will be no redundancies, and the studio will remain as 'Bizarre Creations', with news that the outfit will remain creatively independent from its new parent company.
Offering reassuring words that the studio "...isn't a developer in financial trouble, and we're certainly not looking to be "saved" by a bigger corporation..." Bizarre has announced that despite the news, they're continuing to put the finishing touches to The Club for SEGA. PGR4 is already in the can.
In the official statement, Bizarre Creations stated that the acquisition by Activision was a "...pretty incredible chance for Bizarre to improve ourselves and make the most of all the fantastic new opportunities..." and announced that production will shortly begin on two titles (one a racer), with estimated releases after fiscal 2009.
Microsoft owns the PGR brand, so it doesn't mean that Kudos Points will be heading to PlayStation 3 anytime soon, but the departure of Bizarre from the franchise will no doubt be a cause for disappointment to the Redmond firm...perhaps Forza developers Turn 10 will take up the mantle?

I'll admit PGR2 had more content, etc... - but that's what comes from rushing to have a luanch game - it wasnt that bad.
