A new development studio has formed in Pasadena, CA, co-founded by former developers of titles like Fallout and Medal of Honor. The new studio, named WhiteMoon Dreams (huh), will focus on creating original IP for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo Wii, but is also open to working with developers on titles in need of assistance.
Heading the studio are Jay Kootarappallil -- a former EA technical art director for titles like Ratchet & Clank and Medal of Honor -- and R. Scott Campbell -- lead concept and game designer on Fallout. At the moment the team is working with a "major Japanese publisher" on an unannounced title. The team hopes to focus on innovative gameplay, and "new directions in the visual medium." We wish the newly-formed studio the best of luck in its endeavors.

Hopefully they will create actualy good games for the game...
I think that developers like Data Desing Interactives (Ninjabread and other shitty games with an average score of 1/10) and Bold Studio should be banned from the videogame industry.

With EA gobbling up every developer in the whole universe it is good to see that there new ones still springing up. These guys' past work is a good promise for the future.

"R. Scott Campbell -- lead concept and game designer on Fallout."
Ha! Did you guys get that off of a press release? I think somebody is trying to pump himself up. He was one of a handful of game designers who worked on Fallout, and while I can't say for sure what each of their roles were some went off to form Troika and put out a very good Arcanum while Campbell went off to be lead designer and the force behind the absolute turd that was Defiance.
