Capcom Opening New French Subsidiary
Industry luminary and Shiny Entertainment founder David Perry, who's been working on a number projects, including Top Secret for Acclaim, GameConsultants.com, GameInvestors.com and GameIndustryMap.com, has been honored by Queen's University Belfast in Ireland. The prestigious academic institution has awarded Perry (who is originally from Northern Ireland) an honorary Doctorate in Science for "distinction in computer game development and design."
Dr. Maire O'Neill, a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow at Queen's, presented Perry with his degree, and commented that his accomplishments demonstrate that local talent can compete and even lead on a worldwide stage. She stated, "Awarding David Perry with an honorary degree is a fitting recognition of his outstanding accomplishments as a programmer, developer, consultant, entrepreneur and visionary in the global video games industry."
A 2003 BBC news report went so far as to say: "If video games are the new Hollywood, David Perry is a bona fide Spielberg."
Ray O'Rourke, whose company leads the consortium managing the building program for the 2012 London Olympics, was also a recipient of an honorary doctorate.
