New game studio in Finland: Recoil Games (one of the founders of Remedy)

[Brimstone]

How this will impact Allan Wake I don't know. But the PDF press release mentions people that worked for Guerrilla Games are currently there.

Is this where some of the founders of Guerilla went? Anyway, Recoil Games currently has a 20 person staff.

From Ars Technica

The gaming industry is a cutthroat business these days, with small developers either being gobbled up by their publishing companies or going out of business altogether. It will be an uphill battle for Recoil, but the company has a good pedigree. The other founding members of Recoil Games are Technology Director Jarkko Lempiäinen, Level Design Director Samuli Viikinen, Design Director Aki Määttä, Art Director Mikko Kautto, Senior Game Designer Petteri Putkonen, and Lead Concept Artist Hans Zenjuga. On average, they have ten years of experience in the gaming industry. Hopefully the new company will produce games that make good use of all this experience.

Interesting... I didn't know that anyone from Remedy left.

Treyarch...Guerrilla Games... EA... quite a diverse team they've pulled together from companies that have covered PC (Remedy & EA), Xbox 360 (Treyarch), and PS (Guerrilla Games) etc.
