Support NeoGAF

I'm glad Stig landed on his feet so fast! Respawn definitely got a great asset. Congrats to both!

 

[Seraph_Nicholas]

They should pick up Marty O'Donnell while they're at it.

^This is a really really good idea

Source?

It was by some of the insiders on here. I don't remember the exact post.

That was said by famousmortimer in that post, right? After what happened with the DriveClub guy I won't use that post as a reliable source.

He said the game he was making didn't pass any QA tests iirc. Maybe his vision about that project was flawed, but even if that's true that doesn't change the amazing job he has done in the past.

It was somewhere on neogaf. Not sure exactly who said it though. Maybe he can direct the ps4 version of TF2. Maybe they wanted someone with experience on PS4.

 

[TeddyShardik]

But what about Fips Asmussen???

Thanks, my keyboard is covered in tea now. Worth it though.

OT: Great news for Stig and Respawn I guess. At least the guy has some experience with titans...right guys?

 

[many places]

respawn is in santa monica so he didn't have to go very far

Pretty convenient for both of them, thats good. I would love to live and work in Santa Monica.

Does he have any experience with PS4?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Maybe have some sp in their next game.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Does he have any experience with PS4?

Seeing as he was making a game for PS4 for the last couple of years I'd say yes.

 

[dgrdsv]

I'm eagerly awaiting for TF2 PC with single player.

"In an email to Polygon, Asmussen clarified that he's been at Respawn Entertainment for "a couple months" and that he's not working on Titanfall."

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt????????? Respawn working on two games??????????????

O.O


It's TF2's single player, bank on it.

i was actually wrong, i don't know why i thought respawn was in santa monica.

IW and Activision are in santa monica but respawn is in the valley. still, just a quick (lol) trip up the 405

 

[Lunzio]

Single player confirmed

 

[double jump]

Great move. I expect even greater surprises from this studio in the future.

 

[ALLseeingEYE]

Cool news. Now what we need is for Stig to direct a Titanfall 2 Single-player mode with Epic giant mech boss fights, and perhaps to also incorporate those Epic bosses as controllable Evolve-like titan's for a new asymmetrical multiplayer mode .

I just hope the Epic boss fights fall more in line with Vanquish and don't include an absurd amount of QTE's.

 

[a916]

That studio is poised to do some really great things.

 

[Joeki11a]

[Miles Quaritch]

O.O

But he just said he's not working on TF...

 

[hawk2025]

But he just said he's not working on TF...

Of course.


But Titanfall Two: Fall Harder?

 

[Joeki11a]

Wait maybe this means he gets his own game?

No way Respawn spends their whole life making TitanFall.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Great to hear that someone picked him up. He's very talented.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Of course.


But Titanfall Two: Fall Harder?

That's actually a great title, they should totally use that for TF2.

On point, they could be working on a second IP. Perhaps something for mobile?

 

[Kenshin001]

Supposedly the game he was making was way overbudget, had been rebooted at least once, and one source alleged it was too similar to Bungie's Destiny and they didn't think it could do well on the market because of that.

Pretty much anything that was posted on GAF about that can be taken with a huge pinch of salt. The Destiny thing was thrown into doubt by someone at Sony (Barlog?) and the rumour about the game being horrible was made by a guy who shat on a dev's career with a slanderous made up allegation.

Good for Stig. Seems like a weird fit to me.

 

[Vachosaurus]

Awesome news for respawn! I've had the pleasure of meeting him at BestBuy, I couldn't help it, I recognized him and just walked over and talked to him about GoW for a bit. He was surprised that I knew who he was but instantly had a huge smile on his face and gave his time to chat for a second. Hope they make some awesome games!

 

[makingmusic476]

I thought the claim that Stig's game at SSM was too similar to Destiny was denied by someone more credible. Can't remember who, though, but that's the impression I had formed in my head.

 

[Boogalogist]

Great news! Congrats to both Stig and Respawn. From his track record, his addition to Respawn will be a great asset to them!

 

[antitrop]

Makes sense, they already had a bunch of SSM vets.

 

[Xamdou]

Sequel to gave melee combos confirmed!

 

[Creaking]

Going to get his sci-fi one way or another.

 

[Brunobi02]

IW is not in Santa Monica either....................

 

[J-Skee]

So is that way Sony is doing it's best to have people play Destiny on PlayStation? Because a game they were making was too similar & got canceled? Now they wanna fill that void? I really wanna know what happened at Santa Monica with that game. A documentary or a write up or something.

 

[DangerMouse]

Good to hear for Stig.

 

[unempLLOYD]

Actuall Titans will be in Titanfall 2 confirmed.

 

[McLovin]

OoooOooOooh single player with epic boss battles!

 

[EL CUCO]

Titanfall 2 just got REALLY interesting.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Cool. Titanfall 2 might be able to have a good singleplayer campaign with Stig on the team.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

It is nice to know he found a job soon. Looking forward to his next project.

 

[Sir Garbageman]

So when does Titanfall 2 with a SP campaign drop? Fall 2016?
