Bizarre seeking level designer with shooter experience

by James Ransom-Wiley { Jan 30th 2008 at 7:00PM }

A new job posting on Bizzare's website targets single-player level designers, preferably with 1st/3rd person shooter experience. The call-out adds to growing speculation that the studio's action-oriented wing (which just wrapped up The Club) has been assigned to develop Activision's next Bond game. We know, at least, that the team will likely work with an existing IP owned by its publisher parent; and with Bizarre actively seeking 'shooter' talent, the options appear considerably narrowed. With nearly every Activision shooter closely tied to a developer (including Call of Duty 5 to Treyarch), our money's on the currently orphaned 007 franchise.

Update: The next Bond game is in Treyarch's hands, according to the studio's website. So, uh, all bets are off... [Thanks, Nima]

Bizarre should team up with Bungie and develop an exclusive shooter for the Wii or the PS3 for the ultimate MS bitchslap.

Now I wonder why the hell I just said that.

My hero is the garbageman. Because every morning he wakes up to pick up and discard our dirty and useless things without any acknowledgement and for that reason... i choose you, Mr. GarbageMan.

I don't understand why there is so much speculation about Bizarre working on the next Bond title.

From the page: In development: James Bond

Maybe they are going to a different Bond game in production at the same time, but I think it would be more likely that they are doing something else.
