===Developer Info=== | |||
'''SCEE, London, 3rd July 1997''' - Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced that it would be acquiring Millennium’s game development teams based in Cambridge. | |||
Chris Deering, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) commented, "We are very excited by this opportunity. The teams have impressed us from an early stage with their dedication and expertise on PlayStation and we believe that this acquisition will ensure that European PlayStation game development keeps on going from strength to strength." | |||
Millennium was founded in 1989 and quickly earned a reputation for producing "pure-play" games with high quality graphics, challenging strategy and exciting gameplay. Its founders Michael Hayward and Ian Saunter master-minded the company’s growth, spearheading worldwide licensing and business development. Recognising the need to adopt new technologies, Millennium Interactive kept ahead of the field, continuously producing hit titles in a variety of computer and video console platforms. | |||
The company is currently developing the hotly anticipated action adventure Medievil, which will be exclusive to the PlayStation. Beast Wars and Frogger are also being developed for Hasbro Interactive. The development teams are continuing to work out of Cambridge - a total of 52 people, including Ian Saunter, will work closely with SCEE on these and further games. | |||
Michael Hayward will focus on his company CyberLife Technology Ltd. Committed to artificial life research, the company has already produced Creatures – a ground-breaking entertainment PC title which has captured the imagination of the general public and won critical acclaim from scientists worldwide. CyberLife Technology Ltd (CTL) will continue to develop complete, artificial organisms in software. It will work closely with SCEE on research and development for videogame applications. | |||
"We are very positive about this agreement. This will allow us to concentrate on our artificial life research. SCEE are an immense force in the videogame industry – their structure and investment can only raise the high standards we have already set," said Michael Hayward, CyberLife’s MD. | |||
Juan Montes, Vice President of Software Development at SCEE added "This significant deal will enable SCEE to provide more and better showcase titles and future innovative projects for PlayStation. Millennium’s great games expertise, established tools and major technology foundations are an excellent complement to our existing capabilities within SCEE internal game development studio in London." | |||
