1UP's Shawn Elliot is leaving

From blog post:

"Once, I was a green grocer. I worked with a fool for whom everyone was a fool -- as in, "Hey, fool. This one fool was wearing JNCOs." Every day on the job, he explained how, in a Jackass world of action without consequence, he would demolish the joint by driving a bulldozer in and doing donuts. He didn't hate his job. Haggen, our workplace, wasn't one Caterpillar sale away from catastrophe. What he didn't like was that if he wasn't working there, he'd probably have to work at a place he liked less.

Hopefully you're wondering what this has to do with me leaving a job I love (yes, I'm leaving). Everyone dreams of dramatic exits? I dunno. Unlike The Fool, I'm happy here, where I wanted to come when I was a clerk and part-time teacher. I feel guilty giving up what others would give an organ for. I did get a damn good offer, though.

I'm going to make a game with one of the industry's most talented and impressive developers. Tune into tonight's GFW Radio for details."

Same here man. Losing Jeff then Shawn so close makes me really sad. GFW was so good, now it won't even exist. Yaddle is sad. . . ;)

He seems genuinely excited about this new job, good luck to him.
The game better not suck though!

You don't have to! Then don't leave a F***ing comment...twice...

He was a great part of the 1up network, and always had the best stories!

As long as the IGN Playstation Team is intact, I could care a less.

Chris Roper, Ryan Clements, Jeff Haynes, and Greg Miller are amazing at what they do.

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning7755m ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC23m ago(Edited 23m ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

Abnor_Mal26m ago

Why would Sony have a show of any size to announce Hellblade2 coming to PS5?

VersusDMC10m ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...
