Studio Gigante

Studio Gigante

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 developed "" (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 publisher accidentally released a beta of the game. This version's 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.

Currently, 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 which became one of the first games that was considered true "next-gen" for its unsurpassed graphics. It quickly became one of EA's top sellers for the "next-gen" market.

Tsui and Michicich have since started a new studio called Robomodo after the defunct of the short-live, yet critically-acclaimed EA Chicago.
