Support NeoGAF

[xxracerxx]

Didn't even read the title.

Reading is HARD!

 

[ScientificPizza]

I'm ready for JV/Boyes Productions

 

[Audioboxer]

By the way why has no one posted the Adam swing GIF?

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Wish him the best.

Anyone wanna take bets that his first game is Sony backed and exclusive?

 

[Capella]

Anyone know why? He seemed like he was fine there.

It says why in the thread title and he reiterates it in the podcast that he basically really wants to return to game development.

This makes...no sense at all...


Modern business system baffles me..He is one of the reasons for PS4's success yet even couldnt stay...like...Even if he chose to leave(doubtful) still makes no sense.

It makes a lot of sense. Many people leave their well paying jobs, even ones that they like, to go and pursue passions if they have the chance to. I'm having a hard time understanding why it's hard to believe the reason he gave....

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Whattt?!



I'm sure Sony will fully support him either way and I wish him the best. I'll always remember his Gaf poem!

 

[Inuhanyou]

He can't go to one of Sony's dev teams? Unless he doesn't want to stay at all.

Why does he have to be employed by Sony? he wants to do his own thing specifically.

He doesn't owe Sony anything.

 

[Atomski]

Wish him the best.

I'm hoping the guy is open to other platforms instead of doing the obvious. If so why go indie and not just join some Sony studio.

 

[SolidSnakex]

First Suttner, now Boyes. I don't like it, especially in combination with the lack of indie stuff at Sony's E3 presser.

Yoshida will be doing a lecture with Masaya Matsuura (Parappa creator) at BitSummit this Saturday, and Gio is also there. There will also be a separate lecture by Sony there.

 

[SpotAnime]

He's a big deal to be moving over to an indie. They're going to have instant clout, whichever studio it may be.

I wanted to ask if anyone thought it was coincidence or something else going on within Sony but someone mentioned restructuring due to the regions getting consolidated. Still, to have two big departures while Sony is on top is interesting, especially two people integral to why Sony is where it is today.

Good luck Adam and Nick!

There's plenty of indies during the pre show and after show. I'm glad they're leaving the conferences to the big groundbreaking 1st party games.

First game is always the riskiest, so why not get the easy support to build a base then go multiplatform.

 

[Robbok]

I wish him all the best, never forget that "sharing games video"

It makes perfect sense. Adam came in, was part of an extremely successful launch and helped to keep the PS4 trucking along post launch, and now is looking for a NEW personal challenge. What does he have to gain by staying at Sony?

I wish him all the best.

 

[HardRojo]

Chill man, he's just asking a reasonable question, no need to react like that.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Best wishes DJ Booya!

 

[Ottobit]

this was like a shot in the gut. i always liked this guy.

I would love that haha

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I can't wait to see what he makes.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Relax, man. No need to bite their head off.

 

[Audioboxer]

Found it myself. This sums up the amazing Boyes

 

[Menitta]

He did a lot for PS and was always entertaining whenever you see him. Best of luck to him.

I'm sure this has been posted already but.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Wish him all the luck. Really like the guy.

 

[STEaMkb]

First Suttner, now Boyes. I don't like it, especially in combination with the lack of indie stuff at Sony's E3 presser.

They have an extra conference every year now dominated by smaller titles. PSX. And this year Sony is considering a European venue.

 

[III-V]

Best of luck to you, AB!

 

[Hugstable]

Wish him the best in all his future endevors, really liked Adam Boyes and always liked when he was in the press conferences. Plus that Post E3 Giant Bomb interview he was in was hilarious

 

[El-Suave]

This is sad, he is a great presenter at pressers and seemed to do a great daily job as well. He'll be remembered for some of the most epic announcements in E3 history. Good luck for the future!

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Relax, man. No need to bite their head off.

Calm down, man. No need to freak out on them.

 

[Salty Hippo]

2015 E3 was nice but isn't he also the guy who spewed ambiguous exclusivity terms for 2 hours the year before? Eh, I was not a fan of that.

 

[Fisty]

Why do we need to see upcoming indies? Sony's just going to give them to us anyway

Spoiler

PS+ is all indies and i love it

 

[Bunta]

Someone has surely made a Druckmann joke already, right?

 

[Menitta]

Calm down, man. No need to freak out on them.

 

[JP]

Fair play to him, it's always good to see people willing to take a risk and do what is right for them.

 

[Dombrowski]

On the first page.

Spoiler

Of our story. The future seemed so bright.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Damn, I always admired his enthusiasm and overall presence while he was on stage. I guess this has something to do with why he did not show up to Sony's E3 presser with his usual indie schtick.

 

[ScaryShark]

Best of luck. I have no doubts he will continue to be successful. Great guy.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

The man announced FF7 Remake and Shenmue 3.... What a legend.

Don't forget Ace Combat 7.

Godspeed you magnificent son of a bitch.

 

[wapplew]

Don't forget Ace Combat 7.

Godspeed you magnificent son of a bitch.

And Nino Kuni 2.

 

[Shredderi]

Gonna miss the guy on Sony events. Tretton, Shahid and now Boyes... All the best sony folks leaving

 

[Mengetsu]

Nooo

 

[Alucrid]

Age of Booty 2: Electric Bootyloo

 

[Spaghetti]

:'(

*thinks about John Drake doing Boyes' press conference bits*

:')

 

[Neuromancer]

Good luck to him.. Itll be interesting to see what he and Shahid end up working on.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

You'll be missed, Booya! Best of luck and hope you find success in your future endeavors, Adam.

Found it myself. This sums up the amazing Boyes

I really need a link to this.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Wonder if there's any weird corporate politics going on in Sony right now.

All the names I've seen leaving lately have been ones associated with supporting niche games on the PlayStation platform. Be it getting a bunch of Indies onto the Vita and PS4, #JRPGVita, and #BuildingTheList - Along with stuff like getting the Yakuza series localized, or stuff like Shenmue 3 and FF7R.

Gio Corsi next probably? ShooterStation 4 incoming.

 

[Jacksinthe]

I'll explain for everyone wondering why he left:

When you get that creative bug to gamedev and are passionate about games - you do you.

That's pretty much it. There's nothing else to ponder. Creative minds need their outlets. All there is to it.

Best of luck to you, Adam!

 

[nubbe]

It's happening

You'd have a point if Adam left for another similar position but he's leaving to get back into game dev so not really.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Best of luck to him, cant say i wont miss him

 

[SlimySnake]

Yay no more Indies. Finally Sony can start focusing exclusively on AAA games.

Only half joking.
