Rockstar acquire Mad Doc Software

Rockstar have announced they have acquired Mad Doc Software, and renamed them Rockstar New England to go in line with the rest of thier studios.

The developer is probably best known for their work on few of Empire Earth games, but also played a huge part in developing the Xbox 360 version of Bully: Scholarship Edition. Unfortunately, that game was full to the brim with bugs which required a patch, to fix and that subsequent patch seemingly caused yet more bugs to make an appearance. Hopefully whatever game they work on next will be technically better, and not cause similar annoyances that ruin the great game underneath.

“The team at Mad Doc Software is extremely talented,” comments Sam Houser, the all seeing eyes of Rockstar Games. “Bringing them within the Rockstar Games family will enhance our core technology and further support our commitment to creating progressive and innovative gaming experiences.”
