With the launch of Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games' Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 just around the corner, the creators of the Modern Warfare phenomenon – Jason West and Vince Zampella – have broken their silence on their new game development studio, Respawn Entertainment.
The show is set to take place between July 14 and 16
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
MP1st has managed to unearth the title of the in-development Star Wars tactics game by Respawn and Bit Reactor.
Wish the best for these guys and hope whatever project they are doing be a success. Kotick know what he did was wrong and *bunch of swear words*.
"How has what went down at Infinity Ward impacted your new endeavor?
Jason: The biggest change for me is probably I know a lot more lawyers and they look over all the contracts. So that's the biggest change for me.
"
I guess this dude should of read his contract better then, while with IW and Activision. Sounds like he signed something he didn't read all of the first time.... and now that mistake will never be made again.
I will be supporting thier first game since it will be offering dedi servers.
I'm looking forward to the Respawn game A LOT, but this "interview" is more or less pointless! Especially the last question about soical gaming, before it ends abruptly. And the 55 employees I've could have gotten out of the pic alone.
I know it may seem a bit off-topic, but why is Respawn Entertainment still using the Impact font? I thought after CoD they might have a little bit more originality concerning their logo...
