TRIBECA GAMES PRESENTS: HIDEO KOJIMA WITH NORMAN REEDUS
https://www.tribecafilm.com/press-c...rashida-jones-questlove-jaron-lanier-and-more
• Naughty Dog had a Game Director (Amy Hennig) and two Art Directors (Bob Rafei and Bruce Straley) on Uncharted Drake's Fortune.
• Death Stranding also has a Game and an Art Director. GD is Hideo Kojima and AD is Yoji Shinkawa. Given that Kojima also wrote the story, he must have taken the role of Creative Director too.
• Also, why do you keep referring to Naughty Dog when I talk about AAA studio structure. The best examples of a similar structure, where I know a bunch of schoolmates who worked there, are Ubisoft Montreal, Eidos Montreal, Bioware, EA Motive, Warner Bros Montreal and to some extent, Behaviour Interactive.
• As for Visceral Games, I guess they struggled because they already had major issues with managing their projects in general. Just so you know, I am not doubting the abilities of any of the Game/creative directors that were and worked there.
• Also, Director roles are usually half management and half development.
• As for God of War 2, they has Cory Barlog as GD and Stig Asmussen as AD. Having David Jaffe as Creative Director must have helped in managing and oversee the different departments.

That's not the only place they announce things. There's still TGS, PGW, and PSX. Sony hasn't said they're not doing ANY press conferences in all of 2019 at any venue.

I have a feeling we'll get something major soon (maybe way before E3, which would explain why they said they won't have new content arriving E3, because they maybe planned to show new stuf before it). Besides, Shawn did say we would see other *soon in the new year.
Demon's Souls Remake pushed to late 2020.
PSX 2020 Shu goes to a stage, talks about one particular IP that is "very dear to his heart" and reveals BB2.
From software perspective this is pretty good way to start the next-gen.
That'd be a perfect strategy actually. From games may not be blockbuster releases, but they're strong system sellers. I know people who would buy a PS5 purely for BB2, myself included.
After Days Gone and Dreams launches we should start seeing Sony being aggressive again with their remaining lineup so May is a good month to watch out for.
Man just finished Rdr2 and while I think overall Gow was a better experience and more fun and challenging, Arthur might be one of my favorite characters since Cloud from FF7.
What a protagonists, left a huge lasting impression.

You're right that Naughty Dog did use the Game Director title before UC2, I'd forgotten about that. No idea why you're mentioning all those Art Directors though. Are you trying to claim they're the equivalent of a Creative Director or something? Because that makes no sense.
Regardless, I don't even know what you're arguing about. I originally said that it didn't matter what they called the person running the project, whether it's Game Director, Lead Designer or whatever, it's just a job title, what matters is their role on the project. Then in my last post I provided examples of people who headed up projects even though they didn't fit in your strict definitions (including one who was a Lead Designer) and you seem to be fine with that. Soooo we're done here.
Oh and the Game Design/Director credit you're seeing in Death Stranding's trailers isn't "Game (Design/Director)" it's "Game Design and Director." Those are two separate credits that always appear in his games, they just combined them together in the trailers.
First of all, yes they are to some extent equivalent, which makes me wonder if you know what is the role of a creative director (which I first heard about with Assassin's Creed 2 iirc). Also, I would like to explain that I didn't mean (originally) to argue with you and it is true that what really matters is the role or tasks someone has in a project, but the thing is... when you look at the job description for these Game Director positions on LinkedIn at video games studios, they often have more or less the same role or tasks from a studio to another (this becomes more evident especially in AAA game development, but you are right that things can differ depending of the studio's culture or size) and that also applies for Art or Creative Directors. I may not have worked in a AAA studio, but I did learned the intricacies of video game development (structure and pipeline) and even graduated from University in that field. Most of my teachers used to work at big studios like Ubisoft, Eidos or EA before venturing into smaller independent studios prior being teachers.
P.s. This post is not meant to argue with you but to clarify some elements I neglected in my previous posts.
I did not liked the game (it was not bad, just not for me), but I agree, Arthur and his story of Redemption was brilliantly written
The fact you need to quality that with "to some extent" says it all, there's some crossover but they're still very different jobs. But whatever dude, I have no interest in engaging in whatever dick measuring contest you're trying to start. Bye.
Pretty cool to see people are still talking about GoW nearly a year later. One of the most impactful games ever.
Two new additions to Guerrilla: David West (technical game designer) and Paulus Bannink (technical cinematic director).
David West worked previously at Crytek as a systems designer on Hunt: Showdown, Paulus Bannink as a senior art manager at Sony VASG.

They're all human, I am so disgusted!These generic aaa protagonist
Bannink also worked at Guerrilla previously from March 2004 until May 2013.
I would've much preferred that Midgard was more populated with humans trying to survive during the game more instead of just one encounter with them. Also, I very much prefer the concept designs here compared to the final game. Just by taking one look at this art, I get a serious Game of Thrones vibe. This is the kind of Norse world that I want to see in GOW5.

They did and they achieved that. I do believe they could've integrated more human encounters with both Kratos and Atreus traveling through Midgard.
I was going to post a question on this subject. I'm about 10 hours into the game and do they ever explain where all the humans went?
Cory said in an interview before the game released that they were dying off in the Norse world. This is why you see a lot of them dead early on.
They're all set in a world where atmospereic pressure is a thing so it's way to samey samey imo.
These generic aaa protagonist
I hope they look even more generic like this next time.
You watched it on YouTube or just churned through the story? I agree the gameplay was pretty rough but it grew on me some hours in.
Cory is the face of the studio so it is understandable, but I do think it helps to shine more light on others as well.
Thanks, that makes sense. I'm loving the game, can't believe I waited this long to play it.
I just saw that and I think it was. Very beautifully done I might add. Did the trial and it worked flawlessly for me.
They just had a press conference with new announcements this month.

I played the game. The story was compelling enough for me to finish it.
I think stock drops really don't tell you anything. It's a volatile market that fluctuates constantly.
Make a thread. I always enjoy reading Resetera Financial experts talking about this stuff.
Just saw the video on my timeline, very impressive demostration and has over 500K views too. Loved the video.
