Retro Studios hires Naughty Dog, Vigil Games staffers, working on 'crowning achievement'
Jan 10, 2012 by RawmeatCowboy

Well, things just got very interesting. Retro Studios has picked up two staffers, one a former Naughty Dog dev and the other a former Vigil Games employee. Eric Kozlowsky is the former Naughty Dog staffer, and he seems super excited for his project.

Alas I am going to shelve it for a little while as I am going to work on another project that I am super excited about. I can't talk about it too much but if all goes well it might just be one of my crowning achievements as an artist....

Retro also grabbed devs from Red Fly and Moonbot Studios. Something big must be going on!

What's with all these rumors originating on NeoGaf and 4chan? Are there a bunch of developers mulling around those websites or what?

They are rumors after all. Remember, anyone can start a rumor.

I call an original IP if this is true.

I'll be surprised if it's F-Zero or Star Fox on Wii U

Just for you.

Sweet, Retro has always been one of my favorite devs ever since Metroid Prime scared the crap out of me as a kid. Can't wait to see what they're brewing.

The ex-Naughty Dog employee's Twitter account got deleted! It was either a fake, or Nintendo didn't want him leaking any info...

Oh how I wish Naughty Dog and Retro Studios would team up. The resulting game would be incredible.

Nintendo and the Stamper brothers sold Rare to Microsoft, they didn't "run away."

Nintendo should just buy out

  • Monster Games (ExciteTruck, ExciteBots, ExciteBike World Rally)
  • Good Feel (Wario Land Shake It, Kirby's Epic Yarn)
  • Next Level Games (Mario Strikers, Punch Out Wii).
  • Grezzo (Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Zelda: Four Swords DSiWare)

They could really use some more developer support, and they can just give their smaller franchises to these developers.

Nintendo has given them their smaller franchises though. Not to keep, but to work on here and there.

Just for you.

I've already said since they're not great with 3rd parties they should just keep buying developers until 3rd parties aren't necessary anymore.

That's what Sony does, and their development resources are huge. They have over 15 studios worldwide making games exclusively for PlayStation products.
