EA Redwood Shores, Developer of Visceral Games, Rebranded to 'Visceral Games'
by Nick Breckon, May 04, 2009 3:33pm PDTElectronic Arts today announced that it has changed the name of development studio EA Redwood Shores to Visceral Games.
Redwood Shores is responsible for the recent horror title Dead Space, as well as the upcoming literary, tit-filled action title Dante's Inferno.
"Action, intensity, excellence. It isn't just in our DNA, it's in our blood," said Visceral Games VP Glen Schofield, who elaborated on his company's dedication to viscera in a press release dripping with carnage.
"For the past two years, we have adopted a new culture that prizes excellence above all else," he added, brutally. "Primal action is the beating heart of the studio and now our new name reflects that."
One can only point out the definitions of visceral, as copied from Webster's: "felt in or as if in the viscera; not intellectual; dealing with crude or elemental emotions." Yes, EA has perhaps found the perfect name for a videogame studio.

I was happy that they preserved the Maxis brand after trying to kill it internally a few times. I'm also very happy that Bioware / Pandemic / Mythic are allowed to keep their own identity.
EARS didn't even have its own logo, I'm pretty sure. That had to have some impact on development quality. When everything you make gets a giant corporate label stamped on it, and 90% of your customers don't even know who you are, you tend to do a sloppy job. Now hopefully people who work at Visceral Games will feel like they're responsible for their own brand image.

It's not just in our DNA, it's also in something that contains our DNA!
