GRIN Studio Closes A Door, But Opens A Wall Of Possibilities

Just keep grinning.

Bionic Commando and Terminator Salvation developer, GRIN has joined the boat of unfortunate devs that have had to close their doors. It's not all bad news though. With the closing of this door, several of the former GRIN employees have started off on their own, opening up many new possibilities!

After releasing this statement, GRIN says goodbye:
 

"It is with a heavy heart we announce today that Grin has been forced to close its doors, this as too many publishers have been delaying their payments, causing an unbearable cashflow situation."


As previous closures have had, this studio gives life to a new studio out of its ashes. Outbreak Studios will pick up some of GRINS pieces, with a plan to focus on downloadable games for our pleasure.
 

"Outbreak Studios believes in having a small number of core employees that are extremely dedicated, focused and deliver high quality, Most of our associates have worked in the games industry for more than ten years. All of them have worked together for several years."

Sad to see GRIN close down but have big hopes for the new company and will be wishing them the best of luck. Even more so since they are Swedish, got to support my countrymen

Nooooo! Who's going to make Bionic Commando 2 now? (Well, technically it would be #3, and it'll probably be called Bionic Commando as well.)

was bionic commando any good? i tried the demo and it didn't appeal to me at all but later i read that it has a harsh learning curve.

Bionic Commando is awesome. People just suck at figuring out how the swinging works. I've never played the Spider-Man games, but from what I've heard it's because Bionic Commando's swinging isn't anything like it. So from what I understand, people were probably expecting Spider-Man swinging. I like it though. It's very natural, and feels Newtonian.

The Demo doesn't do the game justice. The multiplayer just sucks, but the Single Player is awesome. By the end of the game, you'll be swinging like a pro. Still, even the original was a niche sort of game. As much as I recommend it, I'd suggest you rent it first.
