Developer of Full Auto series closes shop
Posted by Nathan. Filed under Nathan, News, North America. Tagged with Full Auto, Full Auto 2.
Pseudo Interactive, developer of the Sega-published Full Auto series, has shut down due to cutbacks at parent company SCi. Over 50 people were employed at the Toronto-based game developer as of 2006. The company was reportedly working on an unnamed project that has now been canceled.
Let’s hope those guys and girls find good jobs elsewhere.

Crap. I was hoping for a REAL sequel to Full Auto, without an unnecessary story, and with the good music from the first Full Auto. Probably won’t see it now.

Yeah, man Im pissed. Full Auto is still my favouite racing game this generation.
None of the others brought as much real entertainment for me as the 360 game.

Just a clarification, it looks like this post misquoted the 1up.com article. Pseudo Interactive wasn’t actually owned by Eidos or SCi, but were working with them on a project that was canceled.
Always a shame to see talented developers close; my best wishes go out to the them.

Cube: Who told you that they were designing the third one? They were making a new game codenamed 199xx and it had nothing to do with HH3, especially after the poor results of the sequel came in which probably sadly finished them off.
