I can't really find any info anywhere else about it, but the newest issue of GI states that Amy is the newest member of Naughty Dog. I can't believe it. Legacy of Kain is my favorite series ever and she IS the brains behind it. This is truly sad news for any LoK fan. Does anyone have any info? I know there are a lot of LoK haters out there and no one cares if you're happy about no more LoK. ;)
Man, this news sucks. Just when the series was taking off, she goes and pulls a Blackley.
Naughty-Dog?! WTF?!
I know, it really does suck. And could she have picked a place more shitty than Naughty Dog? The only thing they do is Jak and Daxter. Hardly a place where here talent will shine.
She left a few months back, and after talking to her I have renewed hope for Jak3. She agreed with me on all the things that seriously needed fixing in Jak II...
Did she say why she left?Quote:

...though... if it makes the third game more like the first, it just might be worth it. I'm just hoping it's not another Kiddie GTA game.
That fucking sucks so much!
Oh well, from I what I gather, she's given all her design plans and what have you to the current team and they will continue on with her story. I just hope the next game doesn't end up becoming another Blood Omen 2 fiasco.
There still is a Crystal Dynamics for her to leave? Where have I been? I thought that company was long gone...
Well there goes the Kain series. :(
Ah well... now I have hopes for Jak III which I did not have after Jak II.
so jak will be a vampire in the next game? :D

Just when LoK had just wrapped up it's best story arc to date and the whole thing could be taken in an even more interesting new direction, she walks away from it *sigh* :(
Hope CD continues to do the series justice even without her.
What sucks the most is this April Fool's Day joke.

But last time we lost Henning on a game the results weren't pretty, and when she helped the next effort it was far and away the best yet. When SK disappeared the series has only gotten better so it's not exactly like anyone missed them.Quote:

She's the primary designer/writer of the LoK series and is the one who really carries the story.Quote:

Question 3: How is acting in a video game different than say, a cartoon? Are there any special considerations for the interactive market?
Both demand the same skills, although you have to be very attractive and physically magnetic to act in the games since most of them are recorded in the nude. This is why I have been so successful at it.
Ah yes.Me beeing the LoK madman that I am...
I knew this for some time now.Yeah it might be bad news but I think people are putting too muchn credit on her.She has a team ya know?
They'll do a pretty good job I'm sure :)

As stated above, she is the driving force behind the Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain series and I think without her there is trouble for the series. I hope I'm wrong.
I certainly hope my fears are unfounded and if they prove to be so I'll be damned happy. But better to expect the worst and instead be blessed with something great, as far as I'm concerned.Quote:
