"Connecting dots where they don't need to be connected.
Stig and his team spent almost 100 million dollars on a game that failed every QA test that took. The game sucked. They shitcanned the game and a lot of the people involved. They offered stig a spot on barlog's project - he didn't want to go from game director to something lesser so he quit.
This makes sense, right? Shitty game, money wasted, people fired, head guy leaves out of ego? I mean that all makes sense.
Amy Hennig has creative differences about the direction that UC4 should go in. Egos swell, she leaves. She's happy, she will make another studio much better when she gets there. Justin Richmond, an ally of Hennig's, gets an offer he can't refuse from Riot. He leaves.
These things happen. Naughty Dog is going to be fine. UC4 will still be awesome. Riot will be better with the pickup of Richmond and whoever gets Hennig will be better off. The sky isn't falling.
Guerilla Cambridge is working on a vita game that is shit and won't sell. They slim down as they retool for another project.
Again - this isn't new. This happens a lot.
The director of Driveclub doesn't deliver the game on time. Given more time the game still needs work. He is replaced.
Wouldn't you replace him? Wouldn't you shitcan stig's project that cost them almost 100 mil and had nothing of value to show for it? In fact they should have done it two years ago. The fact they let it go this far is a testament to how much they believed in him after GoW 3.
And all of this is happening before the fiscal year ends. Is sony trimming fat? Of course. Sony corporation is not in a great spot. So they are tightening up a bit. But a lot of people are connecting dots that don't need to be connected. Hennig/Richmond is about creative differences and ego. Stig is about wasted money and time. Col Rogers (driveclub) is about failing to deliver. Taken on their own they all make sense. Combine them together and you get glenn beck with a chalkboard.
And Jack Tretton was about money and inability to move up. He will make more money and have more power somewhere else - something Sony simply could not offer him. Shit happens.
It's the same with the xbox department guys. People move around. People leave for other companies. Shit happens."
Un pequeño resumen seria:
Equipo de Stig en Sony Santa Monica pulio 100milliones en mierda mala
Amy Hennig - Diferencias y demasiado ego
Guerrilla - El proyecto de Vita era mierda
DriveClub - Contrataron al tio para ayudar y entorpecio mas que ayudo
Jack Tretton - Money, Money, Money, Money, Money.

Los únicos despidos han sido los de los trabajadores de santa monica por la cancelación del proyecto y creo que el de Evolution, el resto si han ido ellos, y además creo que los de santa monica los intentaron re colocar a todos en otros estudios pero no estoy muy seguro

Tampoco van a decir que los largaron, diran que se fueron ellos mismos para no perjudicarles y si recolocaron a bastantes, recuerdo que cuando despidieron a los de SSM dijeron que las compañias envian detalles de los despedidos a otras compañias para ver si alguno los queria contratar.
El conocido insider Pete Dodd, una de las voces importantes de la industria a la hora de filtrar con éxito noticias de Sony, no sólo ha explicado los que según él son los motivos de las recientes salidas de personal clave de Naughty Dog, sino que también ha hecho lo propio con otras maniobras recientes dentro de estudios internos de la compañía nipona.
Sobre Sony Santa Monica y la salida de Stig Asmussen, declaró lo siguiente: "Stig y su equipo gastaron casi 100 millones de dólares en un juego que suspendió cada test de calidad que pasó. El juego apestaba. Lo convirtieron en un asco, y también a mucha de la gente que estaba involucrada. Ofrecieron a Stig un hueco en el proyecto de Cory Barlog, y se negó... No quería ser degradado, y se marchó".
"¿No mandarías al garete el proyecto de Stig que costó casi 100 millones de dólares y no ofrecía nada de valor con lo que justificarlo? Todo esto se debió hacer hace dos años. El hecho es que esto demuestra lo mucho que confiaban en él tras God of War III", explicaba Dodd.
En cuanto a Guerrilla Cambridge y Killzone Mercenary, explicó lo siguiente: "Estás trabajando en un juego de PS Vita que es una mierda y que no venderá. Pues adelgazan la plantilla mientras se preparan para otro proyecto, como digo este tipo de cosas no son nuevas. Pasan a menudo".
Sobre DriveClub y su equipo, esto fue lo que comentó: "El director de DriveClub no cumplió con la entrega del videojuego. Se le dio más tiempo, y todavía necesita trabajo. Ha sido reemplazado. ¿No lo sustituirías tú también?
"Todas estas cosas pasan antes de que acabe el año fiscal. ¿Está Sony eliminando grasa sobrante? Por supuesto. Ellos mismos están al tanto de los motivos por los que perdieron dinero durante la época de PlayStation 3, y tratan de no repetirlos. Es un asco que la gente pierda su trabajo, y lo siento por ellos. Pero Sony necesita llevar el timón de un barco más ligero si quieren hacer dinero. No pueden permitirse tener a equipos durante años molestando sin nada que enseñar, es por ello por lo que han reestructurado Japan Studio: esa gente tenía docenas de juegos en marcha que no iban a ninguna parte".
"Están aligerando todo, y eso apesta pero tiene sentido. La división PlayStation está en un estado fuerte ahora mismo. PlayStation 3 está haciendo dinero y PlayStation 4 ha tenido el mejor inicio en la historia de las consolas. Están corrigiendo los errores que les hicieron perder dinero en el pasado".
En los últimos tiempos Naughty Dog ha sufrido algunos importantes abandonos de miembros clave del estudio como Amy Hennig o Justin Richmond, ambos figuras muy relevantes en el desarrollo de la serie Uncharted.
"Amy Hennig tenía diferencias creativas sobre la dirección que tenía que seguir Uncharted 4", declara un conocido insider de la industria, Pet Dodd, que a menudo filtra correctamente detalles sobre Sony, y que hoy también ha explicado otras salidas recientes en estudios internos de la compañía nipona. "Los egos se hincharon y ella abandonó. Ella está feliz y ella hará otro estudio que le aportará una situación mucho mejor".
¿En cuanto a la reciente salida de Richmond? "Justin Richmond, un aliado de Amy Hennig, recibe una oferta que no puede rechazar de Riot Games, y él abandona también el barco".
"Esas cosas pasan", tranquiliza Dodd. "Naughty Dog estará bien. Uncharted 4 seguirá siendo increíble. Riot Games estará mejor con el fichaje de Richmond y de toda la gente que contraten, y a Hennig también le irá mejor ahora. El cielo no se va a caer".

This is my first post on NeoGAF, and whilst I'm not generally one to deal in internet speculation, I have to put the record straight with regard to Pete Dodd's comments above.
Everything he has said with regard to myself and Driveclub is incorrect. It's also libellous.
As Putty (who is a personal friend of mine, and has been for about 25 years) suggests, I left Evo in February for personal reasons. The personal reasons being that my son, who is 4 years old, has been diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome, which is a potentially life threatening condition. I live 220 miles (4 hours drive) away from Evolution Studios, and was away from home 5.5 days a week. Given the circumstances, I could not continue to work there.
Driveclub is a great game, and the direction hasn't changed since my departure. This has been confirmed by SONY in various press releases over recent days.
I have no problem in dealing with very large projects, as I've been working in the games industry for the last 19 years, and have worked on some very prestigious titles, so there is genuinely no truth to anything posted by Mr Dodds at all. My departure (and indeed the setup of my 'indie' operation, BigRedSwitch) is 100% driven by family necessity, not some professional failing on my part.
I left SONY on very good terms. There is no animosity there, and I was absolutely nothing to do with the recent redundancies - in fact, the news of those redundancies was probably linked on here before I knew about them.
The games industry is a tough place at the moment. My circumstances with my son mean that I've had to leave secure work in order to try to make my own way in the world. This may entail getting another job. With people who obviously know nothing about the situation blackening my reputation for the sake of internet 'fame', this could be made much more difficult. It's nothing less than trolling.
I've contacted Mr. Dodd on his email address on his site. Due to the factual inaccuracy of his statements, I've informed him that he needs to remove the statements and apologise for the damage they have caused, as posting incorrect information and claiming it's true is quite simply libel.
I'm sure you can all appreciate just how difficult things are for myself and my family at the moment. I'd genuinely appreciate it if you can take my statements as word from the origin, and realise that there has been no big cover-up when it comes to my departure from SONY/Evo.
Thanks, all.

I'm not calling for a witch hunt for Pete Dodd. Whatever issues we have are between he and I. What I am doing is protecting my professional integrity by correcting comments which ended up being posted as news on games industry websites. Websites that are read by my potential employers. Really, I'm not too worried about people talking about me on forums - my work has been praised and criticised over the years by loads of people - what I'm concerned about is when posts on forums become personally damaging.

en cuanto a la duda del avatar sabeis algo¿? porque ahora jugando al infamous cuando estas en amigos que han jugado al mismo juego veo avatares de amigos que no son los predeterminados que te da la play para elegir.
una cosa mas, mientras jugaba al infamous he probado a hacer lo de retransmitir en directo desde twitch y al poco de empezar a retransmitir me sale un mensaje de error de red. lo he hecho tres veces mas y lo mismo. en las demas funciones que he probado el internet no da problemas.

Una vez un colega que vino a mi casa a probar la PS4 se sorprendió porque no sabia que ahora era necesario pagar el plus para jugar online y flipaba de que encima del dineral que valía la consola tuviese que pagar una cuota al mes, lo que pasa que en este caso le salio mal el argumento porque el es un viciado al wow de estos de tener todo a full y con la cuenta del 2006 o por ahí y le dije; "bueno tu pagas por 1 mes lo que yo por 3 meses por jugar a un solo juego cuando yo tengo 3 diferentes".
Luego me siguió diciendo que aun así yo no solo había pagado por 3 juegos sino por la consola+3 juegos pero fue una excusa peor que la anterior porque si hago cuentas de lo que lleva el gastado de juego+expansiones+cuotas apaga y vamonos.
Menos mal que mi colega tiene el defecto del wow xD porque sino me hubiese tocado salir de repertorio de "pues tu te lo gastas en tabaco o en alcohol los findes o en alguna droga diferente jajajjaajaajaj"
