Studio Gigante

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Studio Gigante was a video game developer established by John Tobias Dave Michicich and Joshua Tsui of the famous Mortal Kombat fighting game series) in 2000. The company develpoed Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus (2003) and WWE WrestleMania 21 (2005) for the Xbox.

Studio Gigante's games were well-known for their realistic graphics, but infamous for gameplay issues. The original release of WWE WrestleMania 21 was controversial since the online play feature had a bug; the game claimed the Xbox Live was connected even when it was not. Later copies of the game fixed this bug, but online play was subject to heavy latency.

As of this writing, it appears that Studio Gigante is no longer in operation.

Joshua Tsui and Dave Michicich are now at EA Chicago where they art directed the hit game Fight Night Round 3.
