Prizefighter Dev In 'Consultation' with Take-Two; Possible 'Redundancies' Could Lead to Layoffs
by Aaron Linde, Jul 03, 2008 1:56pm PDT
UK-based Venom Games may face layoffs or outright closure following an evaluation by parent company Take-Two Interactive, according to Kotaku.
"We are assessing the role of Venom Games in Take-Two's overall global studio system and are in a consultation with the employees of Venom in relation to possible redundancies at the studio," Take-Two said in a statement. "No final decision will be made until after the consultation with employees."
The studio previously developed such titles as the Xbox 360 edition of Human Head Studios' Prey (PC, 360) and the Xbox 360 release of Don King Presents: Prizefighter, with Wii and DS versions of the boxing title due out later this year.
The less-than-stellar critical reception of Prizefighter may have prompted the assessment of Venom Games, which was acquired by Take-Two in 2004.

I can't believe that any publisher committed to producing a title with this character - the guy stands for all that was wrong and is wrong with boxing. Boxing was in a decline when this nut job brought Mike Tyson into his camp - lost to Buster Douglas (who? ).
Maybe its because boxing has become far less relevant these days compared to MMA. That and EA dropped Fight Night (solid boxing franchise while it lasted). Still if you're the only game in town and produce a poor performing lackluster game - what do you expect? This game is getting worked in all the reviews.
