Despite the statements made by Tameem Antoniades to Edge Magazine about how the console market was broken and Ninja Theory was going mobile; the official twitter account has denied those claims.
Former Hellblade director and Ninja Theory co-founder has offered an explanation regarding his departure from the now Microsoft-owned studio.
It is a good studio.. i really enjoyed their dmc game that i platinumed it.
I did not try hellblade, because it doesnt tell me much.. Enslaved was very mehhh
Heavenly Sword was good not great. Amazing graphics back in the day but so repetitive and not so engaging in the long run.
"Microsoft" we all read between the lines. We have seen the exact same thing happen with many of their other acquisitions
One thing that pleasantly surprised me, was the Switch port, as back then it was my only console. The graphics were amazing and the artistic design helped a lot to enhance the visuals.I took some really impressive screen shots while playing which I still revisit them from time to time to remind me what a capable developer (QLOC) can achieve with weaker hardware.
According to FTC filings, Microsoft acquired Ninja Theory for $117 million.
Ninja Theory is made of very talented and passionate developers.
I´m glad that saw that studio´s potential and chose it to be part of the Xbox family!
Now under Xbox they´re AAA and has all the freedom and resources in the world to deliver amazing games for us!
Thank you Phil and Tameem Antoniades.
Damn this really puts into perspective yet again how good a deal sony got for insomniac...the workhorse of the industry at this point.
They have High potential. Add some good combat mechanics and action to go with the graphics and story telling. Ad you got a mega hit.
Ninja Theory outlines the upgrades made for performance capture, leading to more realistic animations in the upcoming sequel.
This game looks incredible. Loved the first one, the story was good. I’m curious to see where they take it.
Guys! Ffs, just show a normal bit of the game. Yes the motion capture technology and graphics fidelity looks great, but my god… it’s like all that we ever see. I want to see another VGA level showcase where we see more of the combat or something other than a cutscene or showing off the tech.
Announced in 2019, and not a lick of gameplay. Might as well just produce a movie at this point.
No one really cares about this guys anymore.
Heavenly Sword. THAT'S IT. Enslaved was terrible and DmC did not impress. Heavenly sword on the other hand, I'd love to see another. They really nailed that game. Sad thing is it's the only game they WON'T make. I heard it was a fallout with Sony or some crap.
Why did edge misquote him. He never once stated that they are goi.g Mobile only, just that the industry in its current form is broken with the $60 AAA release since you can make a great game at that level and not even break even.
Why would he say the studio is going Mobile only but have job listings on their website asking for experiencebin GPGPU programing as they are need deep next gen software development,? he hasnt said anything in this interview that would have us think he needs to can it as everything he has said is valid to a degree, if you read the interview he clearly states his views on the industry and that they have games spread across mobile as well as knee deep in Next Gen development.
In my opinion the only way i see this company going forward is if they give that mouth piece Tameem the boot,this is the only way i see it, he's just a giant black hole of negative energy.
Enslaved 2 please
