Forums - Gaming - Ready at Dawn to self-publish games, hire Blizzard exec as CEO

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/blizzard-exec-paul-sams-joins-ready-at-dawn-as-ceo/0150648

Words can’t describe how excited our team and I are to have Paul join the Ready At Dawn family,” said Weerasuriya in a press statement.

“He is not only one of the most accomplished, respected and experienced leaders in our industry, I am also fortunate to count him as a close friend. It is never easy finding someone to take over the reins of a company after this many years but I cannot think of anyone better suited to guide the team as we look to the future.

"In addition, this opportunity further fulfills a goal we had long sought. With Paul’s arrival, the entire team at our studio in Irvine will turn its attention solely on creative and game development, while Austin will become the focus of our business endeavours. Paul’s expertise will be essential in achieving some of our goals, including our desire to seek a strategic partner in helping us create and retain ownership of our own transmedia IPs.” 

 

The Order is kill



Around the Network

The Order IP has too much stigma attached to it now to continue.



Godspeed The Order 1886.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

well poop.



sad i wanted another the order game



Around the Network

Well, it's good that The Order's bomb didn't kill the studio, but its poor showing has certainly cooled Sony off.

I remember plenty speculations of SCE buying and turning them 1st party before the game launched and sank.


Can't say I'm sorry, but RAD has a lot to prove if they want me to consider playing another game of theirs again.



See guys? The success from The Order will lead RaD to become a huge publisher!



So no order sequel. I know they have planned the order 1886 to end at modern times. But I think it will be multiplatform.



To be honest. The order 1886 gave Sony a lot of sore spots. If it didnt existed none would have complained too much. Sony gave them a lot of chance in past (they let them make daxter with three man team). It will be sad to loose exclusivity. But situation demands it.



These guys couldn't even make a proper lengthy game for 1 console with the help of Santa Monica, how in the hell are these guys gonna make a proper multiplatform game all on their own?!
