GTA Creator To Make GTA-Beater?

Posted by simoniker on from the five-star-threat dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Gamespot news that Grand Theft Auto creator David Jones is dropping hints about titles in development at his new company, Real Time Worlds. An executive at his company hinted: "We are not yet talking specifically about our two titles under development, but I will hint that fans of GTA and next-generation racing games will not be disappointed." Jones is the founder of developer DMA Design, who created the classic carnage-based puzzler Lemmings and went on to make both the 2D and 3D Grand Theft Auto titles. He left the developer after DMA were bought by Take Two and renamed Rockstar North, and his own company, Real Time Worlds, have been operating in stealth mode for a while now.

    David Jones, who isn't really known outside of the industry, has today announced that he is working on two new games at his Scotland-based Real Time Worlds development studio. Working alongside Jones are a couple of suits.

    -hype deleted- "My goal is to create and ride gravy trains. Our whole team have experience with gravy trains, from those that make them to those that supervise those that make them."

    They have all worked on gravy trains, C|net has confirmed.

    What I'd like to see is a press release that says basically....
    Hi, this is Bob Jones, creator of the Super Quest series. I've started a new company making new games, but the games really aren't going to be as good as what I've made in the past. We're trying but really there's nothing we can do. Please buy them anyway!
    Seriously, it's news that a guy is touting his next project as being better than his previous one? WOW!
