Radar Group
Encyclopedia
Radar Group is a video and computer game company. It is neither a publisher nor a development studio, but rather a brand creation and portfolio management company. It co-creates original intellectual property
(IP), designed from the ground up, working with independent developer studios and funding its pre-production. The IP is created in a way that it is ready to make it easily viable for cross-media monetization. The IP ownership is co-owned by Radar and the development studio.
The company was founded by established gaming industry members, such as Scott Miller
from 3D Realms
, who is Radar's Chief Creative Officer
.
Part of the goals of the company is to enable the IP to cross-over to different media, such as films. Radar has partnered with Depth Entertainment in order to get help with the game-to-film transitions. Depth Entertainment had previously helped with the film adaptation of the Remedy game Max Payne
, which was produced in conjunction with 20th Century Fox
