Credit where credit's due: Rockstar Vienna staff not mentioned in Manhunt 2

Xenctuary | November 01, 2007 | News | Playstation 2 Wii Company

Admist growing controversy over Rockstar's latest addition to their bloody Manhunt series, it seems that violent imagery wasn't the only thing cut from the game's final retail disc. Former Manhunt 2 producer Jurie Horneman claims that over 55 Rockstar Vienna employee names are not present in the title's development credits. Those left unacknowledged are listed on his personal blog.

Rockstar Vienna was disbanded in May 2006, with work on the Manhunt 2 titles being transferred to Rockstar London.

I am disappointed and outraged that Rockstar Games tries to pretend that Rockstar Vienna and the work we did on Manhunt 2 never happened - the work of over 50 people, who put years of their lives into the project, trying to make the best game they could. I am proud to have been a part of that team.
