Bigbig Studios and Evolution Studios were both acquired by Sony Computer Entertainment in September 2007,[3] which was confirmed in an interview and Bigbig Studios were assigned to work exclusively for the portable PlayStation products with the releases of the Pursuit Force games,[4] and MotorStorm: Arctic Edge for the PlayStation Portable plus Little Deviants for the PlayStation Vita
