Infamous: Second Son Lead Designer Jaime Griesemer Has Left Sucker Punch

Jaime: Thanks. I'm excited for people to get their hands on it. And yes, I have left SP. Not really talking about it yet, tho.

Xsilver4106d ago

Well he did an amazing Job with Second Son lets see were he goes after this.

NewMonday4106d ago (Edited 4106d ago )

back to Halo?

sure needs him

or maybe returning to Bungie and work on Destiny?

GarrusVakarian4106d ago (Edited 4106d ago )

Damn, this sucks, but at least he waited until Infamous SS went gold. And just look at his resume-

Halo 2
Halo3
Halo Wars
Halo Reach
Destiny
Infamous Festival Of Blood
Infamous Second Son

Pretty damn impressive.

I think 343i would benefit hugely from having him. Or maybe he will go back to bungie?

Ezz20134106d ago

Neil Druckmann forced him out

cyclindk4106d ago

Halo-Infamous hybrid confirmed... Infamalo.. Halomous.. Bears, Beets, Battlestar galactica!

christian hour4105d ago

Dear Jaime Griesemer,
please go back to bungie and make Pimps At Sea a reality. I've been waiting 13 years for this long running bungie joke to become an amazing reality.

Can't wait to see what he goes on to do next, a fantastic talent in the industry :)

Good luck to him with what he does next, it's great that his work on Second Son has helped pave the way for future games from Sucker Punch even without him

Dark114106d ago (Edited 4106d ago )

straley and druckman strike again.

EDIT: lol @disagrees calm down people i'm joking geez..

Derekvinyard134106d ago

MegaRay4106d ago

"straley and druckman strike again"
a storm of disagrees
"im joking"
a storm of agrees

gee people, he spoiled the joke, it isnt funny anymore :P

Outside_ofthe_Box4106d ago

Don't worry Dark11, I see your jokes and appropriate them. They are truly laugh-out-loud worthy. Just bare in mind that not everyone shares the same sense of humor.

Toon_Link4105d ago

Lol very topical. I give you 5 meow meow beans(sure hope you've been keeping up community or that won't make any sense).

WTH is with Sony lately? Their people left one after another.

HeWhoWalks4106d ago

Much like what's happening @ Microsoft, right? Things change. People move on. It's not exclusive to any company.

badz1494106d ago

I don't really care about MS but the PS business has never been better yet Jack left, Amy left and now Jaime too?? It's couple of days before the official launch of Second Son but somehow the lead designer left? Doesn't he want to be there when it launch? Can't he wait?

Army_of_Darkness4106d ago (Edited 4106d ago )

badz.. I'm wondering the same thing?? maybe he was on some type of contract work? So once he finished a certain amount of projects, he gets his paycheck and moves on...

killzone6194105d ago (Edited 4105d ago )

The difference is, MS has a lot more money than Sony. When devs leave from playstation, there's a chance its because sony cant afford to pay them.

HeWhoWalks4105d ago

@ Killzone: Unless you have anything to help back up that viewpoint, I'm pegging that as utter nonsense.

killzone6194105d ago (Edited 4105d ago )

have you been living under a rock? its no secret that sony currently has financial problems; hence the lay offs at santa monica.

just like all fanboys, emotion over logic. smh

HeWhoWalks4105d ago (Edited 4105d ago )

I love being called a fanboy - always lets me know where the weakness in arguments lie. Never mind that you name yourself Killzone, yet have a track record of bashing anything Sony. There's a name for such a type pf poster, but I'm sure you're smart enough to figure that out on your own.

In any event, as I expected, you have nothing but the typical "because they're having financial problems, they can't afford to do "x")." As awesome as that may seem for you, it's relevance is null, because it may not have anything to do with this departure and, at best, is, 100%, theory (which isn't what I asked for).

I just changed my job from Mcdonalds to Burger King , why it is not newsworthy ?

people change their jobs based on motivations.

pandehz4106d ago

Who says your job change isn't newsworthy?

You just now put it on a news site.

Bam 15 seconds of fame

MidnytRain4104d ago

Because no one is impressed with a McDonald's employee.

OrangePowerz4106d ago

He finished his game and might just want to do another project now?

HeWhoWalks4106d ago (Edited 4106d ago )

As I've said, things change and people move on. You can make it into whatever you choose, but this has always been the case and you only hear more about it now because receiving news these days is instant. However, your comment implies that A. only Sony has seen such departures and B. that it's somehow unprecedented.

Neither is the case.

malokevi4105d ago

It's wise not to attribute things like this to the parent company. We are fans of an industry where people move around like a wacky game of musical chairs.

Silly Mammo4106d ago

Oh no! Sony is in serious trouble. Everyone is leaving!!! Oh wait, didn't a head honcho at MS just leave for Sono? Hmmm maybe its just the way of the industry.

Unique PlayStation Games Where You Sweep Through Enemies Like They're Nothing

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake330d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn330d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga329d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX330d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup329d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992329d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack330d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000329d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx329d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty329d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125330d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc329d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies330d ago (Edited 329d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto329d ago (Edited 329d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg329d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

How Does inFAMOUS Second Son Hold up 10 Years Later?

inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?

Deeeeznuuuts518d ago

100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released

KwietStorm_BLM518d ago

Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.

SDuck518d ago

Still remember getting hyped about this game nearing release. Funny because I never even got a PS4. Jumped from PS3 to PC so I never played it ahahaha

OmegaSoldati518d ago

Its a good game. But thats it. Congratulations you made the best choice. I dream to have a great PC one day.

jznrpg329d ago

@OmegaSoldati I’ve had a few of the highest end PC’s and they’re cool for about a year then they aren’t the highest end PC anymore and not as cool. It’s way overrated imo.

Profchaos518d ago (Edited 518d ago )

Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.

Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run

I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.

Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.

I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.

Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion
