Redwood Shores Studio, EA's longest running studio, has changed its name to Visceral Games.

“In the last two years, the studio has adopted a new identity as we've committed ourselves to a new set of development principles and game design values,” said general manager Glen Schofield.

“We make intense, top quality games that push the boundaries of action entertainment. The name change represents who we are and what we believe games should be. Dead Space, Dead Space: Extraction, Dante's Inferno and other concepts in the pipeline illustrate where the studio's expertise and passion lay.”

The studio, which has a branch office in Melbourne, Australia, also confirmed that it is currently working on two unannounced projects.

“Primal action is the beating heart of the studio and now our new name reflects that,” added Schofield.

I guess with a name like redwood studios someone might think they're hippies or gays so they had to change their name to something more hardcore.

Redwood is cool and it's the most badass tree of them all. Visceral is tired term that's been used way too often in gaming as have x-rayed skulls. I hope they tank soon.

eh? Nothing kills a game quicker than a shareholder's greed. A name change means nothing without the games to back it up (granted Dead Space was the $#!%)...
Let's just see what happens first...
