People News Brian Mitsoda fired from Bloodlines 2

[flabbyjack]

Chen Lee (sp?) replaced Guido Henkel as lead producer on Planescape: Torment and that turned out just fine.

This will be no PST, though.

 

[Farewell into the night]

PST is overrated

All the Paradox dude would say about it is that it was about creative stuff and not about money and that the decision to fire Brian was made between the studio and Paradox. Outstar was also talking about it:

This honestly totally sucks.

lol
It's hilarious that they've fired Brian but that pathetic Outstar still works for Paradox. I'm ashamed she's Polish, her leftist content on YT is just cringe worthy.

Paradox got sick and tired from Brian begging for gloves dlc.

 

[Clotstein]

This just keeps getting better and better. What an absolute trash fire.

 

[Serious_Business]

What the fuck. I haven't followed the dev of this game at all, is anyone from the original team even involved in it anymore?

 

[Goral]

Not sure if it's bad or a good thing but we can be pretty certain that Brian won't work on any WoD game EVER (unless Paradox will sell the WoD rights). After being treated like so I just don't see him going back to them (even if it was some other developer than HL). So yeah, it seems like this franchise is dead, same as Fallout (not counting fan projects).

This was dead a long time ago

Something is rotten in the state of Seattle.

People don't just get fired without a reason. The company would have had to give him a reason. He must he hiding something.

My guess is Paradox is not the kind of publisher that would push for more wokeness even at the cost of firing a legendary developer. I don't see something that extreme happening even in most American publishing houses. But who knows.

Dude, they are Swedes.

 

[Kev Inkline]

Mitsoda, Ka'ai, Mandryka - these are some Star Trek names, man.

Also, perhaps Brian refused to wear a mask but offered to wear gloves instead?

 

[The Jester]

 

[Horvatii]

Meh, pretty straight forward
1. Shit game eats Paradox money like no tomorrow
2. Paradox suits appear in Hardsuit Labs managements mirror one night
3. Hardsuits scare
4. Creative director and Lead riter heads roll
5. Hardsuit suits breath
6. More money wasted
7. Shit game flops
8. Hardsuits folds
9. EVERYONE WINS!!!

Alright, any chance of this being good just completely evaporated. Firing the lead writer who was at the heart of the project, and probably the only one bringing any soul to it? Great job.

 

[Diggfinger]

WTF !!! Firing Brian from Bloodlines is like firing Swen from Larian just bfore BGIII ships....who does that

That's true, they should have fired Swen at the start of BGIII development

 

[whydoibother]

Not surprising, in the interviews Mitsoda was in the back and those female faggots and other leftists were given more importance. I knew then that it doesn't bode well (post below is from May 2019):

It's indicative that that female faggot is talking and not Brian Mitsoda (suggesting she's more important than Brian Mitsoda). Doesn't bode too well for the game if you ask me.

saved before they remove their ratings and tuck their tail between their legs

What post is that even? Probably something retarded.

 

[Jvegi]

Poor Brian.

[Ghoulem]

Brian Mitsoda's fingerprints are still going to be all over this project. He's written most of it, and his gloves don't have tips.

Wonder what he'll do next.

Has any game ever released after massive internal changes during production (not pre-production/planning) and turned out remotely decent?

deterministic system > RNG

 

[CappenVarra]

Annie strikes back?

We'll find out in nine days with Wasteland 3, which now has an entirely different team of leads than when it began development in 2016. Of course, G Ziets left his job under much better circumstances than Brian Mitsoda did.
