Forums - General Discussion - Amy Henning forming her own indie studio

https://www.dualshockers.com/amy-hennig-star-wars-ea-project-cancellation/

 

In a report from Eurogamer, Amy Hennig — the former Uncharted writer and director that became the creative lead on the recently-cancelled Star Wars project with EA and Visceral Games — shared with the outlet at the Gamelab Conference in Barcelona, Spain a few more details on the aftermath of her Star Wars project and what she will be doing next.

Missed opportunity for MS and Sony if they dont grab this woman and give her a studio like they did with Kojima.



Microsoft is already making a studio with one of the project leads of the Tomb Raider reboot. They should totally scoop her up!

Didn't Sony basically fire her when she worked at Naughty Dog though? Don't see why she'd want to work with them again.

How do we know that Sony fired her, did Sony come out and say this, did she make those comments?  



I would love to see what Amy Hennig could do with the Metroid series. A partnership with her and Nintendo could bring story driven games which are lacking on Nintendo's platform in general. Now I wouldn't want to see a game like this in place of the Prime series, but in addition to as an alternate time line and or back story of Samus.

Hell no.

I love Amy Hennig, but don't go around trying to ruin Metroid. It's not that kind of franchise, and it shouldn't be.



Is the canceled game 1313 or was that too long ago?

Either way she's a boss. Can't wait to see what she has in store.



Crystal dynamics should have hired her for future Tomb Raider games as well as other IPs. SE could have rebooted legacy of kain with her, but I think the main problem is having the rest of the staff that make the levels and visuals etc that she hasn't got. She isn't a one man team or a game a leader that she can direct a game on her own. I wouldn't be surprised if she starts making more TTG style of games.



Hope it works out for her. It sucks what happened to her Star Wars-project, we finally could have gotten a game worth playing



Everything EA touches, dies :(

interested in her indie studio
