Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Andrew O'Neil co-founder of bluepoint games and lead programmer of Metroid prime died (47 years old)

RIP

So young.

We need to keep in mind that in order to die we just need to be alive. It will happen to us all at any time.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

Another one who has died much too young.

I would thank him for co-founding the studio that remade one of the best games ever made if I believed you could communicate with the dead. He and his team did an amazing job on SotC, so if nothing else his memory will live on for me in that accomplishment.

That and he was also the lead programmer for MP, the best game that graced the GC. RIP. He was a true inspiration for the industry

Thanks for your contribution to gaming and to one of my favorite games of all time. And these young deaths are really adding up. I know it's none of our business, but it is natural to wonder what took someone's life so young. There is no mention of cause of death anywhere I can find, which makes me think it was a very sad death.



Jeez, another. What a shame. Did they say why he died of?

Hear, hear. I look forward to their other remakes, as well. They always do a great job.

Another one, damn.
