According to Eurogamer.

"Andreas, who played a key role in the development of the Kinect hardware, Kinect Sports 1 and Kinect Sports: Season 2 as well as Xbox 360 launch games Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero, joined Sony this month as creative director of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, working out of SCEE's London office.

During his 16 years at Rare he worked on most of the legendary studio's games, including various Banjo titles, Viva Pinata and, going back to Rare's Nintendo years, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye and Killer Instinct Gold."

Expect Move Sports challenge, and PS Home goodies!

And now he will be a genius rather than a man that has helped ruin Rare and forced Kinect shovelware on us all.

Microsoft makes the decisions not him, Microsoft forced Rare to make Kinect games after so many losses.

The man is a genius, and there can't be enough threads to celebrate his career move!

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
