Former God of War creative director Stig Asmussen has joined Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment, studio co-founder Vince Zampella confirmed to Polygon today.
Experienced veterans from EA's Respawn studio have formed a new AAA team called Giant Skull.
Hey it's Stig! He directed my favourite God of War game. You know one of the older ones that were fun.
He also directed two Jedi games that are more like the two new GoW games than the old ones. All of them were fun, though.
Video-game director Stig Asmussen, who led efforts to rebuild Electronic Arts Inc.’s Star Wars game franchise, is leaving the company.
I wonder if his refusal to delay the game had part in this, as the launch issues seem to overshadow the game's reputation more than the positive reviews
Respawn developers said Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a very similar game to Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Game Director Stig Asmussen even added he's a big fan of FromSoftware since the days of King's Field.
The combat was not even close to the quality of Sekiro, so hopefully they use the time till release wisely.
This exactly, almost. I wouldn't say "quality" so much as style. They look like two different games in design as far as combat, one more focused on abilities and cinematic appeal with less of a focus on timing while the other is more focused on skill and timing.
From what was shown so far nothing and I mean nothing looked like Sekiro. Especially the combat and general gameplay fluidity which Jedi:FO was God awful btw.
@Chris. One of the clips shown at E3 had the main character deflecting a blaster round that was like 2 feet from his lightsaber...
24:07 in, as he rounds the boxes look at where his lightsaber and the blaster round are when it bounces back... https://www.reddit.com/r/St...
Sekiro (and Fromsoftware in general) has attention to the little details. The game looks nice, but they are very different in terms of gameplay quality and style of maps (open areas vs corridors).
Im pretty sure it should say Jedi fallen order is similar to sekiro.... anyway just came to say that. Won’t be picking this one up, as you know...
EA.
Imagine believing what an EA dev has to say. Thats a yikes from me
There is no reason to doubt Respawn yet. Their track record has been good... but this is only the second game under EA for them, and it's a SW game so EA isn't going to miss out on making money on it so I understand the trepidation haha
Excuse me, but the E.A dev your calling liar is the guy that produced and directed GOD OF WAR 3, WI h is one of the best playstation 3 game ever made.
Nuff said😉😉
^^^ Produced without some greedy twat like EA breathing down his neck. You could make a long list of noteworthy names in game development whose work took a nose dive since EA got control of them.
Way to make me not want the game anymore. I hope it's just another nonsensical comparison to Souls games.
Replies(1)I somehow doubt that it will even have an ounce of Sekiro's World, enemy, and combat design, but if that is the case... this game definitely got a whole lot more interesting.
We've already seen gameplay, and it looks more like it plays like any standard third person action adventure game, but with light sabers. About the only thing I'd say was accurate was the aim of the storm troopers
Cool, good luck at Respawn man.
Which one did he work on ?
Not going to lie, the only reason I know of him, is because of his commercial for The Art Institute of Pittsburgh lol. Seen it too many times. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
I've never liked the GOW series, so I'm not really affected by this signing. The one thing I will praise is the amount of scope he was able to get out of those games. Glad to see Respawn growing. Titanfall breathed new life in FPS games and is easily my favorite shooter since Halo 3.
