Electronic Arts hire Amy "Uncharted" Hennig

>Electronic Arts hire Amy "Uncharted" Hennig
>Respected industry veteran, 50 year old female game director
>Hennig announced to direct singleplayer Star Wars project
>Gamers (vast majority male) rejoice and celebrate news
>They couldn't have picked a more qualified choice for the job
>All quiet, game thought to be in development, taking their time
>Suddenly EA shuts down Visceral Games, Amy loses job
>Outrage at EA's practices and closing down studios
>Condemnation of treatment of a distraught Hennig
>Huge sympathy from gaming community

The very same people who are absolutely disgusted at how Amy Hennig's talents have gone to waste and mourned the loss of an interesting Star Wars narrative focused game that will never see the light under the direction of a female director.

They're the same people who get accused of hating The Last Jedi because they must hate women.

Isn't that fucking funny.

Alt-political spectrum brainlets always resort to name calling, because being rational makes them feel stupid. The left being the worse offenders, trotting out gender war bulkshit as a sheild. EA used the same tactic to pillory gamers for being homophobes about DA:I, but I'm a fag and I hated it. David Gayder is a fat neckbeard fag who has never touched a dick, his romance writing is trash and honestly I'd rather not have any gay romance options than shit ones which potray negative stereotypes about gay people, i.e. "I know we've just met, but that's a likely looking bale of hay. Shall we? "(Renegade) Uh, no."

Maybe she should have been the director at lucas arts.

>EA doin ins thang
will they ever learn

NAUGHTY GOD

Ehhh she doesn't have a dick so can we really call her a true woman?

Bump for television and film discussion

FUCK OFF VIDEO GAMERS
KILL YOURSELVES BY DROWNING IN SOY

...

>shit ones which potray negative stereotypes about gay people,
Isn't it funny that characters made by the "tolerant" left are always the most offensively stereotypical ones?

It's almost as if skin color, gender, and other superficial things are more important to leftists than actual personality....

Bump

>White woman
>Write Uncharted and SW competently
>Give franchises to white men
>Turn into literal cuckoldry

Uncharted is what got me back into gaming... so I respect this chick. You're telling me Disney fucked her over and fucked over my chance to play an Uncharted adjacent Star Wars game?!

REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

>Uncharted is what got me back into gaming

Dragon age, a fucking medieval setting where everybody is dying for X or Y but they are all homo and can support that kill ratios

>stereotypes about gay people, i.e. "I know we've just met, but that's a likely looking bale of hay. Shall we?
fucking kek some of you fags are alright.

I take solace in the fact that the people standing up for individualism and against identity politics are all the groups the left caters too. I even know trannies that don’t want to be normalized. Honestly I didn’t even care about race until they all started making a big deal about it and I saw the double standards they had with white men. I could always play the disability card despite my white skin, love of pussy, and faith in Jesus Christ but that’s not what I want to stand out for. The left is ruing everything sacred even to those they claim to represent.

>>Outrage at EA's practices and closing down studios

They're like a fucking grinder, they should have seen this coming. EA leaves nothing but the tombstones of good game companies in their wake.

>They're the same people who get accused of hating The Last Jedi because they must hate women.

Same shit during GG. If you started playing games in the 90s you've already played games made by women and starring female protagonists and there was never a fucking word about it.

Misogyny and racism are just deflecting shields, complete corporate defense policies.

bump

kill yourself faggot

So I googled Amy being fired from Star Wars, found this "would a been kino", and now im extra pissed.

youtu.be/nIwHJojouxI

Do star wars autists even know that esb was co written by a woman?

Based

yes we do. The question is does kathleen Kennedy.
Or does she have amnesia like all sjw

Uncharted 4 was pretty good but too often I felt it was missing the right balance of gameplay and storytelling of the first three.

I think there's more than EA's decision to shut it down. Maybe in years down the line we'll hear Disney and Kennedy's story group didn't approve.

what difference does that make?

She fucked up. Sloppy development and nothing to show for. They probably salvaged the best parts. I'm more pissed that 1313 got shafted. We will never see Nar Shaddaa again lads.

>If you get this reference, then you are a TRUE movie fan

The left is definitely not the worst offenders. It's always rightwing reactionaries who want to play the victim, but then accuse everyone else of doing it.

Do people seriously think of Uncharted when Amy Hennig comes up?

Where's my MOTHERFUCKING LEGACY OF KAIN?

Not really feeling the game anyway. I want a
strategy or rpg. Where are the smaller star wars titles? I don't want a console uncharted/assassins creed type game. Give me the pc games.

no way. Dead Space I & II were solid games and Visceral had proved itself a very capable studio up until then even when tasked to pump out a shitty Battlefield game quickly they achieved it. I think we've missed out on possibly the finest ever Star Wars game and it would've put JJ and Rian's stories to shame.

>Give me the pc games.
everything is aimed at women and casuals now, look at all the fucking mobile games.

Who?

Listen bro, were talking games that are like movies in this thread and there's only five of them:

Uncharted
Last of Us
Heavy Rain
Dishonored
Mass Effect

The game would have been great, no question about that, but didn't Kotaku report that the game was in a terrible state for the time it had been in development and they kinda blamed it on Amy?

>We won't have another SJW pink hair anti-drumpf Star Wars thing.

who gives a fuck?

Roastie getting toasty

In all seriousness fuck EA

>“She was giving these massive presentations on the story, themes,” said one person who worked on Ragtag. “EA executives are like, ‘FIFA Ultimate Team makes a billion dollars a year.’ Where’s your version of that?”
The state of EA, these morons think they can turn a sci-fi franchise into a lootboxes fest like they do with their sport games...

The alt left are way worse than the alt right, because the left white knights for them whereas the right are embarrassed by the alt right. That means that alt left nutjob opinions are amplified and are far more insidious.

There's no such thing as the "alt left". It's another buzzword created to counter growing criticisms of pepe fags co-opting the republican party.

why

>when game is in development, Amy Henning was "muh progressive hire" and "umm, the force is female, sweetie"
>game is canceled, suddenly you were all excited
Also, 90% of your bitching has nothing to do with what with the actual film and everything to do with Kathleen Kennedy/the story group being mostly women/Vice Admiral Tumblr/How ugly the Asian chick is.
You can't even keep your arguments straight

Uncharted 1 and 2 were good desu

> There's no such thing as the "alt left".

they may not go under that name but they certainly exist as foes. throw in a couple of keywords into Twitter and search for opinions on TLJ. the absolute state of people cheering good riddance at the thought of star wars losing it's fan base of white males. a hashtag a month ago was #starwarshatespoc and it will leave your jaw hitting the floor. there's no pleasing these people.

Good in a TLOU kind of way, a MGS kind of way or a Dark Souls kind of way?

Even if these people aren't just a vocal minority, alt-right people are actively in the white house and make up a good chunk of Trump's base, so your argument is pointless. One has a real chance to negatively effect policy. The other lives purely on the internet.

So when's the kickstarter

>He never played the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver games

None of those. Those are all R*ddit core cept maybe MGS

Uncharted is as reddit as TLOU

what do you do about da poop

Antifa, socialists, rainbow-haired SJWs, and other assorted hedonistic freaks are the alt-left. Your typical Democrat voters are just bleeding hearts, and minority demographics who erroneously believe their blue oligarchs give a single fuck about them beyond their vote.

>this whole gay thread

Neck yourselves

I wish Legacy of Kain would come back.
I loved those games.

The alt left is a catch all term for the loose alliance of communists, anarchists, democrats and SJWs who are currently pushing authoritarian, far left viewpoints and engaging in political violence against the right wing.
Kinda like how the alt right are a loose amalgamation of libertarians, republicans, centralists and literal nazis who who cucked the republicans establishment out of power.

>Amy Hennig
>Uncharted

No gamer worth their salt gives a shit about her doing the Uncharted games. Now the Legacy of Kain series she did was pure kino.

Should let her write an entire Star Wars trilogy.

Pic related wouldn't write a 50,000 word essay on Uncharted like he did with TLOU and he's a R*ddit saint

Fuck EA. I feel sorry for Amy because she probably fell for their bullshit of giving all control, of pampering her team etc
They have done this for years, and people for some reason still genuinely (I'm telling the truth, for I have seen for myself a honest game dev fall for it irl) fall for it for some reason.

I don't It would almost certainly be ruined.

Are they shutting down that other Star Wars project too now that they have Respawn as well?

She suffers from internalized misogyny. EA embraces diversity. If they fired her, it's because she's a racist or sexist.

I thought dishonored was known for its gameplay

>potray negative stereotypes about gay people,
>i.e. "I know we've just met, but that's a likely looking bale of hay. Shall we?

That's the truth, though. And we are heading in a direction men can't deny having a relationship with transwomen because that's bigotry, so he's seem negative by them and the population.

I guess BioWare tried to red pill people ahead of the time.

>which potray negative stereotypes about gay people, i.e. "I know we've just met, but that's a likely looking bale of hay. Shall we?

Does it cease being a stereotype if it's completely true? You absolutely cannot have two gay men in a public toilet together at the same time.

Ignorant as fuck, you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Hennig is one of the most respected people in the industry going back decades.

Look at it this way, ND can only employ one lead writer for U4, they're forced to demote someone. They ultimately decide to go with Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann are responsible for the most award winning game ever The Last of Us. An absolute masterpiece.

Even though they've put a Druckmann in charge of the project people were still hugely disappointed Hennig was forced out. That says a hell of a lot. She's held in that high as standard.

Yes it is funny, and it's very sad too.

>EA kills another franchise
IMAGINE MY SHOCK

Um, Sweetie, Rian Johnson is the first true feminist writer on a Star Warsa films. Check your privilege.

>Didn't Kotaku shill for E.A.?

ftfy

Classic Sup Forums.

what happened to the other WOMYN hired by EA to do a game, talking about Jade Raymond

did she also get fired by EA??? also Amy Hennig is a super micromanager and that worked at naughty dog but not at other studios so this bitch fucked up as well

Fun fact Amy stood up to Neil Stuckmann at naughty dog when he was peddling his sjw crap

>gays buttfugg eachother in the boibusi on the reg like all the time

Where is the lie tho

>implying EVERYONE on Sup Forums is sad that she got the boot

speak for yourself. EA or not, any day that a woman gets knocked on her ass is a good day

Came here for kain. Total respect for Amy because LoK has some of the best story telling I've seen in any medium

I travel through public toilets unmolested 100% of the time, the only toilets worth having sex in are the disabled ones and that requires pre-meditation.

YOU DO KNOW MOST OF THE LEADS that did Dead Space 1 and 2 left after 3 to form Red Barrels !!!!! THE PEOPLE LEFT AT VISCERAL were of lower caliber than the older guys

a STUDIO is good because of the key people that work there, devs and leads

if a dev and lead leaves a game studio then the dynamic changes!!!

There are exceptions to every rule, this is one success among many failures and I will admit this

...

youtube.com/watch?v=e3h6es6zh1c

Don't let the left fool you, not all gay people are degenerate.

>co-written

nah Leigh Brackett wrote the first draft of the script, which was a lot different from the final product, and died in 1978. Lucas brought Kasdan on to rewrite it and the finished film is pretty much what was on the page (dialogue changes excluded). Brackett was given a co-writing credit out of respect by Lucas.

evidence???

But most of them are.

Fuck off fudge packer

>white men
they were jews you retarded, how many times do you have to be told

Damn, that's a shame. She's such a good writer

Fucking this.

Disney is probably going to revoke EA's Star Wars License at some point and depending how the Avengers game goes sell it to Square Enix, Disney should have opened their own video game studio years ago or expanded Lucasarts

as Hennig and Visceral, Leopards don't change their spots, EA's a wood chipper but they'll land of their feet, Legacy of Kain and Uncharted names carry tremendous weight

NIEL DRUCKMAN is a fucking JEW !!!!! holy fuck

>90% of your bitching has nothing to do with what with the actual film
how delusional are you people
we have fully gone over what's shit about the film
but we also looked for why and who was behind the film

>being gay is not degenerate
umm sweetie

You don't know what you are talking about. People were happy about this game because it was a SP done by Amy in the SW universe. EA knew it too and used her, until they decided that loot boxes mattered more.
When it was cancelled people went bitter af.

youtu.be/-gPbwrRQEN4

You're sad.

de ebil nazis in soy wars now!

Amy hennig made a series where the main character is an alpha white guy with a hot girlfriend. The girlfriend happened to kick ass too and was actually likeable, but it wasn't forced at all. She is the antithesis of the Hollywood sjw producer

>Disney should have opened their own video game studio years ago
they had one but shut it down in 2016

Disney used to have their own video game subsidiary: Disney Interactive. And Lucas Arts used to both develop and publish games. Disney Interactive was mostly shut down, and Lucas Arts laid off their staff and serves as a licensing firm that exists only to manage the Star Wars game license.

I think Disney wanted out of the video game industry and licensing their IP's was the easiest way to get out, while still getting a share of those sweet vidya gaem bux.

It's almost like this narrative you're painting is shit and all we wanted was a fucking video game made by someone with a decent reputation.
