BottleRocket Entertainment

BottleRocket Entertainment was a third-party video game developer founded by Jay Beard (previously head of Sony San Diego), composed primarily of former Sony San Diego employees and animators. Many of them worked on The Mark of Kri before the studio was formed.

BottleRocket Entertainment was developing Splatterhouse, a beat'em up title in the Splatterhouse franchise by Namco Bandai, but was removed from the project after an unspecified "performance issue" caused a split. Several former BottleRocket employees accepted new positions within Namco Bandai continuing their work on the title.[1]

BottleRocket Entertainment was reported to be developing a licensed title for Brash Entertainment, which was cancelled when Brash went out of business. A source in Kotaku revealed the game to be DC Comics character The Flash. Footage of the cancelled title was posted on YouTube by a former employee of BottleRocket Entertainment.

Jay Beard announced in an email to Kotaku that, "after fighting to keep the doors open for the past six months we have decided to close and move on."[2] The company was officially closed on September 3, 2009, and Beard is reported to be "building a new development studio from the ground up."[2]

gollark: Maybe SRAs are the *real* SCP-2950.
gollark: Also, Prometheus Labs best GoI.
gollark: Some people say they're a Prometheus Labs product, others say they're some weird SCP where their inventor was wiped out by a temporal change but the SRAs kept existing, some say they were invented in the 1800s, some in the 1900s or early 2000s, and some say they run on enslaved reality benders.
gollark: Also, I'm not sure we should trust them when nobody even knows exactly when or where they were made?
gollark: Those really just seem cheaty and overdone.
