Seth Killian, former Capcom Marketing Chief has made the move to Sony’s Santa Monica Studio as Lead Game Designer. Posting up a blog entry on PlayStation Blog, he discussed his new role and his excitement.
“I was excited to join Santa Monica Studio in particular because of the chance to work with some great individuals, but also because of the incredible range of projects they take on. If you head out of my office and turn right, you’ll run into the “God of War: Ascension” team. If you turn left, you’ll find the Giant Sparrow crew working on “The Unfinished Swan.” There are other amazing studios in the world, but nowhere else that I know where you can find that kind of diversity combined with such a deep commitment to greatness–which also happens to sum up what’s so exciting to me about Sony overall,” he remarked.
He even went on to talk a bit about PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, “All-Stars has been a great opportunity to take a step back and rethink fighting fundamentals from the ground up. The entire team was put together from scratch to create this game, and they are loaded with fighting game superstars (including some impressive tournament credentials–I’m not even the first EVO finalist to join the team!) who love great combat just as much as I do.”
Congrats to Seth and all the best to him in his new role!
