Ive joined Sony as the lead game designer for the external group at the Sonys Santa Monica Studio.
Guess it wasn't good before. Not a good sign for that studio working on it.
I said wow
Wrong person. You're thinking about Sven. Again...
UMK3 I'm guessing.Oh hell Yes!
I think this also means SuperBot will be making more than this game in the coming years, hopefully some new IPs in fighters.
What was the last decent fighter made by a Western studio?
UMK3 I'm guessing.
Game is in pre-alpha, I think. Or at least the demo that was shown. There's a lot he can tweak, even post-release
I wanna believe he's genuine about this move n he probably is but my cynical side says it's because Sony is giving him health insurance unlike Capcom :-/

Also I guess this means Sony Smash is a fighting game while Nintendo Smash still isn't a fighting game. trollface.jpg
The game's going to be out in less than 5 months. It's not pre-alpha, even if they're claiming it is (and I don't think that's the case).
Holy fucking shit.
title should say "Sony Acquires Seth Killian" to fit in with all the other stuff they've been doingWhat is this? Sony has been on a roll with good news lately.
I don't know how I feel about this.
I would have wanted Seth to work for a big fighting game company like SNK, or Namco, but then again him being a part of this would give this game some legitimacy. And Sony can't be worse than Capcom

Thanks for linking this interview. I wouldn't have read it otherwise.Oh, look! Here's a long interview I did with Seth about the move from Capcom to PlayStation! He'll be working on more than just fighting games.

Seth Killian said:"My job at Capcom started weird and got progressively weirder," Killian explained. "I was always supported with input into the games, but I realized at one point that of all the job titles I accrued over the years (when I left I was 'Strategic Director, Community, Online, and Special Combat Advisor'), none of them even existed before they were given to me they were making it up as they were going along, just like I was.
"Everybody was happy with what I was doing, but they also recognized that it didn't fit into the organizational structure at all. Towards the end, I was working on the fighting games as well as titles outside the fighting genre, but also still working on explicitly community side things."
Well damn. Second Sony megaton in 24 hours.
