Another great addition to Ninja Theory! Hellblade 2 should be epic.

 

[Hideous Snake]

That's a steal! Such a great artist

 

[AlexxKidd]

Looks like he jumped at a promotion to me. He was a environment artist at Naughty Dog and Ninja Theory made him a senior environment artist.

 

[Fbh]

Nice.

Hellblade 2 will be great. The first one was already awesome and was basically made as an indie game,.

 

[nikolino840]

So there's no crisis in gaming positions....do you think those "seniors" are rich?

 

[Entroyp]

Great poach!

 

[CyberPanda]

Agreed. He did a great job at Naughty Dog.

Naughty Dog Environment Artist Andrew Watkins joins Microsoft's Ninja Theory

Ninja Theory is stepping it up!

t.co

 

[Shambala]

Talk about a downgrade in studios. But good luck to him though

 

[imsosleepy]

thanks to microsoft recent investments. some people must be able to get much higher pay rises when switching to their studios

 

[Aion002]

Good for NT and good for him probably... Also good for the person who will take his place at ND.

 

[thelastword]

Naughty Dog is only great when their employess leave ND for an MS studio....Otherwise, they only make cinematic walking simulators....

Not many have this mindset. Win win win!

Crazy how the goalposts keep moving, right?

 

[Enjay]

Psh I remember that guy. He used to bring us coffee.

 

[TeamGhobad]

don't know who that is but its a great win for MS.

I had a dream today that you were permanently banned for being an "Ad-free spammer/astroturfer for an unspecified company"......

 

[hunthunt]

I still remember when everyone was crazy about the dudes that developed the last Gears of War because they got a lot of talent from Santa Monica, Insomniac and Naughty Dog, everyone though that it was going to be a 98\100 title.

I wonder if anyone still remember at all Gears 5

 

[TeamGhobad]

awww you dream about me *kiss*

 

[kretos]

It always amaze me when someone make a thread about a dev moving from one studio to another, you people treat devs as if they are are football players or something

 

[EDMIX]

Talk about a downgrade in studios. But good luck to him though

Developers go from studio to studio everyday. They still work for money, not review scores.

 

[Outrunner]

Damn

 

[MoreJRPG]

Obviously he took a massive raise, and Ninja Theory got a great mind. Thankfully for Sony, their studios are full of them.

 

[Bernkastel]

He used to work at Ninja Theory, so its more like coming back home. Just post these on the Hellblade II thread instead of making a new one.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

awww you dream about me *kiss*

I swear im not kidding and someone else was banned too, it was really weird LOL!

 

[Haint]

9TF's weren't enough to realize his vision.

 

[MrJTeera]

Being in a Naughty Dog production technical/ artistic-wise would definitely look good in your portfolio.

Meanwhile, I'm just sitting here, browsing Internet forums.

 

[Ryu Kaiba]

I swear im not kidding and someone else was banned too, it was really weird LOL!

Kojima confirmed.

I don't think I've ever seen my laptop or phone screen in a dream

 

[ShadowWolf712]

Wait, I thought ND had no talent which is why they produced "generic, third-person over-the-shoulder cinematic walking simulators" or whatever.

 

[Heinrich]

Nice

 

[Jigsaah]

He just makes the environments. Calm down, they still make walking simulators.

I'll shuttup...gonna go back to playing Death Stranding now....

Apparently this guy was the only good one :lol

Maybe he wanted to work on games that weren't brown and green?

Or he's getting older.
