I need an epic RPG!
I guess... I just want Retro to work on a game of my taste, I don't want 2D platforms, and I have a feeling they are working on a FPS.That's Monolith's job.
Looks like Retro attracted several top talents.
Naughty Dog Vs 343 Industries Vs Retro Studios.
So I'm Linkedin snooping now that I have a barebones account (lots of stuff's still blocked unless you get a paid account), so I uncovered one person who was hired in 2012 who was a Senior Animator at BioWare on Star Wars: The Old Republic, he was there for 4 years.
For protection, I'll keep the name a secret, now he's a Level 3 Animator at Retro.
Ah the GAF stalker thread XD, I wonder if Retro has hired anyone from Vigil due to recent events =(
Should protect their identity for now.I'm hoping to find more interesting hires, but without causing any issues (hence hiding their names), is that fine or...?
Right, that was the main motivation, I forgot.
"Contract" means they leave after completion of the project, correct?
xD Well played Retro Studios....well played indeed.
Be hilarious if that's BGassassin's way of saying hi from the other side...
Yeah that's slightly concerning.
Isn't that relatively standard practice on large projects approaching completion? Extra staff are taken on, then let go when their contract ends - hence the "lay-offs" common at the end of large projects.
Wait till you get to the "Hi GAF" moment XD.I'm a relative newbie to GAF and this has been the best thread I've read on the Internet in the past week, nay, the past month.
(Also OH MY GOD I'M ONLY 5-6 HOURS UP THE ROAD FROM RETRO!!)

Why not just keep the contract folks, make a 3rd team damn it.
Well, the positive here is that - possibly - it means their current project is in its latter stages and there may be something to see soon.

I wonder if anyone went through with the garbage stealing plan that was discussed a few pages back
Wow you're on it today, so we see they have been hiring Vigil staff recently... I wonder what they got cooking.

WE WANT SUPER METROID 2!!!
Can't believe they moved their office to North Lamar Blvd. I lived on that street up until this June. I could have helped!
This thread makes me sad. I miss him ):
No...you want Super Metroid 2.
I want Metroid Prime 4
What happens with BGassassin?
