Red Bull Branded Games on the Way (http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=17769)

"Earlier today, FreeStyleGames announced a new ground-breaking worldwide partnership with the energy drinks company, Red Bull."

Ground-breaking :laugh:




"The partnership will focus on the next-gen consoles, FreeStyleGames promises to co-develop and create compelling triple A games that will truly represent the Red Bull image."


I wonder what sort of craptacular games they will churn out? :P

They were developed by a company with over 20 years experience and also prior experience with the Xbox which I think went a long way towards their quality.

FreeStyleGames seems fairly new and untested and until I visited their website hadn't heard of their games before. I have read that a few of them had worked on the Colin Mcrae series in the past so we may be pleasantly surprised once again. It certainly wouldn't hurt Red Bull's rep, I don't think I've ever seen anybody up here drinking it, nor could I think of a time where I've seen it in store even though they are heavily involved in Canadian sporting events as sponsors. How about down in the states or across the pond?

Red Bull seems to primarily be into sponsorship over here too. Yeah you see the stuff on shelves over here and I would imagine some people must buy it, but you would have thought it would be more popular with the amount they must spend on advertising and sponsorships.

The only time I do genuinely see the stuff being sold is in the pubs served with either a shot or two of vodka.

I have them at one of our stores here in NY. Like Tynstar said... I never had the chance to try one and I don't think I ever will.

Red Bull tastes kind of odd. I sort of like it but I can understand why some people would think it's disgusting.
