Support NeoGAF

[adamsapple]

4 years and 6 months of directing and left before the game's come out.

 

[Robochobo]

Man that resume is like multiple deployments to various warzones. What the fuck is going on in Montreal.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Failing upward.

 

[Loomy]

Game likely got a bit of a reset

 

[Syphon Filter]

cancel the game.

[Heisenberg007]

The game's a dud already.

Just can it and move on.

 

[Roman Empire]

Failing upward.

More like sidegrades. From Ubisoft to Haven was a downgrade after the clear failure Fairgames seemed to be. Then going for Warner is just changing shit to feces with how bad their gaming division has been doing (aside from Hogwarts).

 

[MayauMiao]

So in the next Batman, Joker would be saying "Eat the rich!".

 

[adamsapple]

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Nothing to worry about, directors leaving before a game is released isn't a red flag at all.

Spoiler

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

rumors says he didnt even got paid to play the game.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

UH OHHHH

 

[Kacho]

Unbelievable… all this drama over a dopey heist game

 

[adamsapple]

[yogaflame]

Fairgames, Marathon, Gummy bears

 

[bitbydeath]

Anyone got any more of them GaaS.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Haven Studios and Sony

 

[larrybrady]

First jade now this…this is like if the titanic hit a 2nd iceberg..

 

[willothedog]

 

[powder]

Sony is dumb as dog shit, stop blowing money on these studios and just outright buy one of the popular GaaS studio games - DayZ or whatever that PUBG shit is. Microsoft snatched Minecraft and Sony probably should have just taken one of the bigger chess pieces as well.

They did…Bought Destiny

Yup.

I like these types of games, I'd be the target audience even. Payday, L4D etc but yeah the art direction tells you all you need to know about this one.

 

[Radical_3d]

 

[Plague Doctor]

This is a good sign.

Sorry, I meant $ign*

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

At this point I think it would probably do better if it was literally a PSVR2 exclusive playing games at the fair.

 

[viveks86]

So they lost their beauty and their brains?

Headless chicken on the way!

 

[Neon Xenon]

You know what? Understandable. If I was working on a game that was as culturally out of touch as Fairgamedollarsign, one that got deservedly torn apart after the very first reveal just on account of being corny as fuck, I would also want to get the hell away from the studio working on it.

Yup.

I'm still waiting on Den of Wolves (and hoping that it's good). There's been small videos of gameplay posted on 10 Chambers' YouTube, but no extended gameplay look yet.

 

[Hookshot]

I'm still waiting on seeing how they attempt to rebrand it following that CEO's murder and the guy getting arrested at McDonalds

 

[Dis]

Im leaving Haven Studio too

 

[Killjoy-NL]

The game's a dud already.

Just can it and move on.

The game looked mediocre from the reveal anyway.

 

[Timberwolf25]

What's the odds if it even gets a release?
I'm thinking 60/40 at this point and sinking

 

[Coconutt]

The most obvious came to not come out drop teh act already.

 

[Sticks]

Viva la France

 

[Baemono]

He left FairGames to work on a new season of Suicide Squad. Looks like a winning streak

 

[Von Hugh]

Marketing and releasing costs money. So does keeping the game and its servers up.

I'm thinking a solid 0 % chance.

 

[SJRB]

WB Games is an absolute circus of a developer so it's only fitting they hire a clown like this guy to run the show.

 

[Brigandier]

Just cancel the game and close the studio already.... Accept the loss and learn from this whole mess.

They won't though because Arrogant Sony is back and the leadership sucks total monkey nuts.

 

[Black_Stride]

Called it.
Why did Sony even bother with Haven knowing Jade was in charge.
Shoulda bought exclusivity and saved the money for Concord 2.

Jade Raymond.
The breaker of promises.
At this point I dont think shes ever gonna actually produce a game that makes it to market.
Even with Sony backing Haven Studios I wouldnt be shocked if down the line of production she leaves and goes to another studio where she can NOT release a product there too.

The last game she actually produced was Assassins Creed in 2007.

Whatever Haven Studios is working on.

Just kidding this game is probably never coming out and Jade Raymond will leave the company leaving the project in limbo to become a PS+ title we all forget actually came out.

 

[Kerotan]

Good. There will be a lot of talent who will be available as this GAAS disaster blows over.

 

[cormack12]

Games cost too much
We're paying people ridiculous sums of money to churn out what looks like very polished game engine tutorial projects.

You didn't even need to see anything more than the genre and 3 minute trailer of both concord and this to see they were never going to make it.

 

[SJRB]

Failing upward.

How does this keep happening?

Who looks at that dude's resume and thinks "yup, this guy should be put in charge of our studio"? Dude worked 4.5 years on something, released nothing and is job hunting before literally any actual gameplay is shown. That is a massive red flag but these retards bring him in as creative director.

Cronyism, no doubt. There's just no other explanation.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Good. There will be a lot of talent who will be available as this GAAS disaster blows over.

People do realize Sony isn't moving away from live service, but learning and adapting their strategy, right?

I doubt they expected, at any point in time, to have 10 successful gaas games running.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Has there been any gameplay shown for this game?

Could this end up being a bigger loss than Concord?

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Jesus...Shadow of the Tomb Raider, then Ubisoft and then Haven? I'd rather just write i had been at a MC Donalds...

 

[Toots]

Montreal has a terminal case of white liberal syndrome.

Damn, so big studios of people closing down was part of Sony's plan all along? Brutal.
