For my next project creating a website with everything about driver I’m going to need loads of information and this includes information on Reflections Interactive. This includes all there team members, which games they have worked on and everything we can possibly know about the team so here is the spot where you tell us all the information you know about Reflections Interactive. Whenever you post some valid information I’ll put it in this post and when the sites ready I’ll apply it to the new site.

So here is what we have:

Reflections is a Newcastle-based development team which has been producing interactive entertainment software for 14 years, enjoying particular success in the highly competitive motor sports category.

It has produced several number 1 hits on various home computer and console formats.

One of its first high profile successes was 1989's Shadow of the Beast, the best selling Amiga title and a benchmark title in the industry as a whole.

In 1994, anticipating the emergence of the next generation of consoles, Reflections developed one of the first PlayStation game console games, Destruction Derby. It garnered enormous critical acclaim and with global sales of well over 1 million remains one of the biggest selling titles ever released on the console.

The sequel, Destruction Derby 2, was completed in late 1996. Hailed as a significant step forward, it went on to sell over a million units around the world.

Reflections operates at the leading edge of gaming technology. Its titles have constantly pushed new hardware formats to their limits.

Shadow of the Beast was widely acknowledged to have played a significant part in establishing the Amiga as Europe's number one gaming platform in the 1980's, whilst more recently Destruction Derby did a similar job for the PlayStation.

Reflections is unparalleled in its development and utilisation of tools and engines designed to create racing games. Its particular areas of expertise include:
• Collision dynamics
• Car physics
• Multi-vehicle scenarios
• Photorealistic graphics

On top of its advanced programming methodologies, innovative animation techniques and special effects skills, Reflections consistently produces exciting and original concepts and challenging gameplay.

Some key elements featured in all Reflections' products include:
• Intuitive gameplay. Reflections titles can be picked up and played instantly by a novice yet provide a tough enough challenge for experienced players.
• Expanding genres. Reflections is dedicated to expanding genres rather than working to formulae. This approach is exemplified by Destruction Derby, which added spectacular crashes into the genre's usual emphasis on handling and speed.
• Successful sequels. Reflections has a track record of establishing, maintaining and improving franchises-both critically and commercially.

Reflections has always been a pioneer of the state of the art in gaming technology, and, true to form, will play an integral part of the gaming landscape in the coming millenium.

Reflections is now an Infogrames company.

Reflections became well known for their 1989 hit Amiga game, Shadow of the Beast, published by Psygnosis. Their Amiga games were often criticised, along with other Psygnosis titles, for being graphically excellent while lacking in gameplay.
More recently, Reflections won acclaim for their popular Driver series of video games.
In August 2006, Atari announced that it had transferred all of the staff and most of the assets of Reflections Interactive Limited, including the intellectual property and technology rights to the Driver series, to Ubisoft for $24m. [1] Reflections Interactive Limited was subsequently renamed R-New UK Studio Limited.

Reflections is a Newcastle-based development team responsible for producing interactive entertainment software for 14 years, particularly successful in the competitive motor sports genre. One of Reflections' first high profile successes was 1989's Shadow of the Beast for Amiga. In 1994, anticipating the emergence of the next generation of consoles, Reflections developed one of the first PlayStation games, Destruction Derby, which it followed up with a sequel two years later. Since then, it has expanded on its action racing expertise with the creation of the Driver and Stuntman game franchises.
