Former The Last of Us Part II Game Designer Joins Microsoft’s Game Studio The Initiative

When the Studio Head of Game Studio The Initiative announced that developers like Brian Westergaard, Annie Lohr, Blake Fischer, Drew Murray (Insomniac), Christian Cantamessa (Red Dead Redemption designer), Tom Shephard (GTA V developer), and Lindsey McQueeney were joining their ranks, we could only think of one fact: a great game will come to Xbox sooner or later.

Last year, Microsoft founded The Initiative to build quality games that will be exclusive – think of Uncharted and God of War. Now looking at the lineup above, these developers have the resources to make it possible, considering they worked on triple-A games before.

Robert Ryan Joins The Initiative Team

Now another leader has been added to The Initiative, and it’s none other than Robert Ryan, former Naughty Dog, and The Motive Game Designer.

The news surfaced thanks to a post by Twitter user “Klobrille,” who wrote:

Another great talent for XGS. Former Naughty Dog and The Motive Game Designer Robert Ryan joined The Initiative as a Senior Systems Designer.

He added a screenshot of Ryan’s LinkedIn profile which shows that he is now the Senior Systems Designer at The Initiative.

Why is everyone hyped about Robert Ryan joining Microsoft’s first-party game studio? Well, he was behind games like The Last of Us: Part II, Uncharted 4, Uncharted 3, and The Last of Us.

It seems that The Initiative is looking for experienced people and we really hope to see what they’ve been working on so far. Maybe we will see some of it at E3 2019, although it would be a little too soon.

Nonetheless, Gallagher recently added that The Initiative would experiment with different games, so they’re “staying small” and “staying agile.”

One thing is true: The Initiative has a team that could easily compete with Rockstar Games or other devs like CD Projekt Red. Whatever The Initiative team is working on, we expect to see it in the next few years, and it better be breathtaking!

GTA V and Predator: Everything You Need to Know About the Newest Mod

The thing with this game is that The Predator isn’t coming just to the box office, but also for Los Santos, and it’s all thanks to the Grand Theft Auto V mod, that’s currently working.

The GTA V Predator script can be downloaded from the internet, even if they are still working on it. But there’s a thing that makes this mod awesome, and it’s not that obvious why. The creators also included a Cloak Mode that allows the users to go invisible to get rid of cops in the game.

What are the features?

Besides going invisible to escape from prison, you’ll also be able to throw stabbed victims; you’ll make stab attacks by using the hand blades. You’ll also get shoulder cannon and an animated Combi Stick which you’ll be able to throw against the victims or use to stab them. Also, there will be fake green glowing blood FX, and, for beta users, a mini-nuke explosion for the Self Destruct.

This mod comes with amazing experiences for the Grand Theft Auto games that it almost makes us forget about Hulk, Thanos and Dragon ball from the past. There’s a full list of current projects (what’s new and what’s being updated), and you can see it on the creator’s Patreon.

WIP videos – how are they helpful

They also talked about some WIP videos, that shows every time a new feature comes to the current projects. Those that are interested in mods will be able to see the process and also understand how it works in order to get the most out of it. The videos also show that the most updated version is the mod that’s in use.
