Video game development studio FreeStyle Games is known for its title B-Boy that appeared both on the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2. The game, unknown to most, was created with the help from the manufacturer of energy drink Red Bull.

The two announced a renewed partnership. While FreeStyle noted that they will be coming up with a series of new titles co-developed with Red Bull, the studio refused to divulge any information about the said games, save for the info that it will appear on new systems.

FreeStyle Commercial Director Chris Lee commented:

This partnership goes way beyond the in-game advertising deals seen in video games to date. It's important to stress that we're working hand in hand to co-develop and design compelling, triple A titles that will be a true reflection of the Red Bull Energy Drink brand, as well as great, original gaming experiences in their own right.

Chris Lee added that release dates and publisher information will be made public shortly. This plan to make games for new-gen systems has been in the making for several months now. It should be remembered that a similar announcement was made by Lee back in September of last year.

Massive games for next gen consoles with massive capabilities call for dev teams with massive numbers.

Not really. That's according to FreeStyle Games' Commercial Director">Chris Lee, FreeStyle Games' (B-Boy) Commercial Director. Not only is it fun working with a really tight-knight group where everyone in the team knows each other. Lee adds that with publishers "working on franchises and quoting massive development costs", enlisting small teams to develop games seems like a feasible idea.

Of course, that doesn't mean we should wipe out large teams entirely. After all, there are some projects that needs a large group of people to work on it. Now, whether you agree with Chris Lee or not is entirely up to you. Let me just end with what he has to say about next gen and indie studios: "The real next-gen experience is about new forms of fun and independent studios are better placed creatively to deliver on that."
