Shadows of the Damned director leaves Grasshopper

probably got sick of directing medicore games and wanted to make his own stuff. RE > SotD

its good playing it now but its more of a $ 30 game pick it up later

@BlackSheepWalls Nonsense. I played the whole game and didn't encounter any bugs.

bayonetta was good and still successful enough, this game just sucked and was a beta

I really need to play this game. It seems he's a jack of all trades. I'll look forward to his future projects

same happened to bayonetta.. looks like gaming is really changing. well i enjoyed this game thou to people who didnt like it il say you guys are a bunch of losers who has no humor in life

@dynomitemasta I've bought it,played it, and enjoyed every moment. Everybody got a different taste, so go on kid, go hate it..

@dynomitemasta I bought it in the release week. I played through on Hard and really enjoyed it. It's definitely one of the best games I've played this year. Everyone has different taste. Just because you didn't like it, that doesn't mean no-one will.

Dynomitemasta BestBuy gave me $23 for it! GameStops values are horrible lol @ $5

@Zerabp... see? for those of us that actually bought the game on day one, well, we're the only ones that actually know how bad it is. Everyone that is praising it here haven't played it yet, yet because we aren't gaga over it they get all tight and puckered. I say. go on kids, go buy it... then come back and apologize.

I went to sell it back to Gamestop and you can't even give the game away... They offered $5...I'll give it to someone for free at that price. And all of you loving on this game, how about buying it before you play it next time. It looks much better in still pictures than when your playing it.

I wish Massino Guarini all the good luck success in the world. :)

I bought the game and it sucked, if it becomes a cult classic that will be a depressing comment on the state of games...

I really like the game, it was really depressing to see it get such a cold welcome regarding sales. Surely, not a game for everyone, but considering how warmly it was reviewed by both professionals and gamers, I'd expect better sales. Glad I got a copy day one :D

Garcia Hotspur? Are you kidding me? PASS!

Awesome game, I grew very fond of Garcia and your sidekick Johnson, I played the game again as soon as I finished it, even with other games still to be played (Two Worlds 2 and Dead Space 2)

If you like games like Silent Hill & Condemmed Bloodshot 2 meet Dantes Inferno & Darksiders pick this awesome game up

not worth 60$

DMD is one of the best games of the year, more people need to buy it.

he went out on a high note at least

i thot this game was funny as hell its a must have for shooter fans

DMD never try to be scary, so it is not. For me it's a good game, I've played all the difficulties just for fun and that's enough replay value. Hope this guy continue bringing good and unique game ..

It's a shame he's leaving Grasshopper, but he's going to pursue his own dreams, and for that, I say: Best of luck. Also: He directed Naruto: Rise of a Ninja? Wow, I never knew that. I suppose Shadows of the Damned will become a cult classic quite soon.

I dont think SOTD didnt sell well because it was just release. they have lot's of time. Maybe at the moment people need to save money and there's a time when people start to buy this game

Wow, I've been considering buying the game for a few weeks now, I know I'll love it I just have to decide when I want to spend the money on it. I'm curious why he left... I remember reading an article about this guy like 4 months ago and it seemed that he loved everything about his job. He also seems like an incredibly creative guy so I'll be following whatever else he does, he kind of reminds me of Tim Shafer.

@CHROMEFLAMIN Because it's not worth $60

@raptures330 Agreed. One of the most underrated games this gen.

I predict that years from now SoD will be one of those games that everybody will be searching for, scratching their head in amazement, wondering how this game flew under the radar of success.

Damn, Shadows of the Damned was a great game... so much for a sequel... :(

shadows of the damned was awesome! no it wasnt scary but still a great game

btw, I DID buy the game.

Thank God... Shadows of the Damned was neither scary OR funny... hey devs, do us all a favor and leave the comedy to the comedians and definitely leave it out of horror.

its a shame, but he has a very good track record, I hope he moves on to bigger and better things

It's a bad and good thing here. very shocking though.

this seems surprising to me...but good for him, I suppose :)

@Merex760 Enslaved deserved a lot better than it got. Q_Q

Oh well, at least he's still going to make games. Sad that Shadows of the Damned didn't sell well. Great game. I feel like it's this year's Enslaved. Great original premise, and good all around game that just gets ignored. The lack of marketing on both games didn't help either.

Pretty sad that SotD only sold 47,000 copies. But I didn't buy it either, so who am I to blame.

@Iridescent406 A scary bang! :lol:

At least he left with a bang, glad he's not going out of the game making business too.
