GRAW developer GRIN has been getting some airtime recently. There's a write up at Gamasutra detailing a talk they gave at a recent conference. There's also a series of videos on Youtube detailing GRIN's history via a Gamereactor interview.

Part 1 has Bo explaining where GRIN started and details on their first major title, Ballistics.

Part 2 covers Phoenix Rising, Vultures, Unknown, Ghost Recon AW and some straight talking from Bo. If you only have time to watch one of these, spare 7 minutes for this episode, not only does it include Ghost Recon AW, but also an interesting swipe (?) at Bioshock. Hardcore fans will get a real kick out of Ghost Recon section though....

Part 3 brings up to date with their current project, Bionic Commando and also the future as they have scooped a top drawer brand although wouldn't reveal what it is. Bo also emphasises why GRIN love independence and won't be selling out to any major publishers anytime soon.

Interesting viewing, Bo came across really well, but yeh, what was Bioshock smirk all about?

Could some kind soul provide a textual summary on the Part#2 media, for us bandwidth challenged folk 0:)

...was GRIN happy with GR:AW* and/or customer response to the final product; did Bo go into publisher (Ubi) relations at all, or was this stuff glossed over, or uncovered?

Bo said he liked working with Ubisoft and that he would consider doing another GR title, in the future.

Just watched vid#3 and very interesting to hear Bo's comments on the how Japanese style of development is so different, and they trust and respect the developers's own creativity and initiative.

Must be a big difference from working for Ubi.
