Which has nothing to do with his role at EA, so why would that be what the article associates his time at EA with?
And that's likely the reason he left, EA forcing them to release the game when it wasn't ready.
And who knows what talent they bled during the process as well. Since the first one was very well polished in comparison. Somewhere, their pipeline got messed up. Down to the non optional RTX which fubar'ed the rasterization pipe.
Probably a mixture yeah.
Let's hope, because the last two God of War games don't hold a candle to the originals.
‘Star Wars’ Video-Game Director Stig Asmussen Leaves Electronic Arts
Video-game director Stig Asmussen, who led efforts to rebuild Electronic Arts Inc.’s Star Wars game franchise, is leaving the company.
He's overrated imo. Respawn is an incredibly talented dev house and will do fine without him.
Doubtful. The story was probably outlined even before the original game was completed. It's not difficult to find a game director to fill his role. All we can hope now is that the quality of execution on that vision doesn't degrade.
Tell Phil Spencer to hire him, quickly.
Embracer will acquire him and then try to sell.
He wouldn't get to be the big dog on campus at Naughty Dog (lol). Druckmann has that on lock.
Perfect Dark needs a veteran lead...
But the second picture shows something better. I care about why I'm fighting Baldur. I was just mindlessly murdering people in GOW3.Let's hope, because the last two God of War games don't hold a candle to the originals.
We went from this epic sense of scale...
To this...
He was director of GoW 3 so I disagree that he's overrated
Sure you can, but not in a God of War game. They might as well have just created a new IP if changing the DNA of a franchise that was beloved for nearly two decades was the end game.
Both moments are epicLet's hope, because the last two God of War games don't hold a candle to the originals.

No. you actually do not know why you are fighting Baldur. you do not even know why you switched from Greek to Norse. and you do not know why you became a snowflake either to the point everyone stomps on you even your 7-year-old son or whatever that idiot age.
My son is in that home and I've just buried my wife. I'm fighting him to protect all I have in the world.
It was still a God of War game. It carried its history with it and built on it. The DNA of God of War was not it's combat system. It was a character action game and that is what GOW 2018 was.
The gameplay that people came to love and expect from a God of War title for 13 years is not it's defining factor?
Todd Papy also inherited the same team and directed the weakest mainline game in the franchise (gameplay was great though) and Jaffe admitted they didn't use a lot of stuff he left behind.
I Hope not, they lack creative vision. He must go back to Santa Monica and work on the next installment of the God of War ip. A mix of the old and new.
Ascension wasn't a bad game either, it just failed to do anything new or interesting. I'm not saying Asmussen is a bad director, I just strongly feel he is way too overrated. I loved Fallen Order, but as a creative director he has no balls, that's my opinion. GoW III had a lot of the core GoW II staff and Asmussen was there as an Art Director prior to that. I feel he has always played it safe with designs, and that's really easy to do when you work with studios like SSM & Respawn.
