With publishers snapping up developers left and right (Take 2 buying Rockstar, M$oft buying Rare), the publisher's name is usually the only name left.CarnageHeart

In none of those cases did the development teams cease to exist, its just that ownership changed hands.

I've got no problem with it. Movie directors such as Tarantino and Raimi don't make their movies singlehandedly, but most if not all of their movies have characteristics in common.

What with companies offering spinoffs handled by their Z list developers and having multiple teams of differing talents working on mainline games in some franchises directors being upfront about what they are and aren't involved with is an extremely useful piece of information. Along the same lines, the development team should also receive a prominent place.

Right now the model (which gives pride of place to a game's publisher) makes little sense. Nobody reads books based on their publisher or watches movies on the basis of the studio that produced them.

I was a big fan of the Driver series but dont like how they ****ed up the 3rd game, since it got such pathetic reviews i'm not sure if they're gonna make a 4th game. Anybody know?Tanner911
