Amy Henning going to EA/Visceral for Star Wars game

If you have played any of the Uncharted games you have seen her work. I am excited about this.

This is incredibly great news. She's a huge talent, and one with a major love for George Lucas style storytelling. Uncharted is full of classic Lucas wipe transitions.

This bodes extremely well, and shows that EA are taking these new Star Wars games very seriously.

 

Just cause they brought in one actress doesn't mean they are taking it very seriously

 

She is a creative director not an actress and has been heralded one of the best in the business for her work on the Uncharted games. So yes it does mean Visceral are taking things as seriously as they come.

Just entirely what it means we have no idea because there is next to no info about this game, if Visceral are involved with the "EA Canada, open world" game then that's what she'll be working on but if Visceral are working on a separate title then that's great news too as Visceral were working on 1313 before it was canned and they could be developing another game in that genre which is a perfect fit for Hennig, it would also mean there will be 3 new SW games in the near future which is also great news.

It's all IFs though at this point. Hopefully more news will follow.

 

I'm actually looking forward to see what comes from this. The Uncharted series is great fun.

When Lucasarts got absorbed in the acquisition I was pretty worried, but we're already getting more decent content out than we have in the past few years, with even more in the pipeline.

 

Yes I was quite pleased by this news, she's obviously well versed in the high adventure genre. Doesn't mean it will translate into space but I'm hopeful.

 

Uncharted?

Gimme Sith Reaver.

 

saw these too and thought i'd add it in this topic...

and this is when we'll get some concrete news...

Quick correction to title, her name is 'Hennig', not 'Henning'. I accidentally spell it wrong sometimes too.

 

I was so happy to hear about Hennig being brought in. The writing in the Uncharted games are so good. I hope we see something about this game at E3.

I don't know anything about his writing ability, but I really enjoy him as an actor in the few times I have seen him pop up.

 

I'm really interested about this game... I hope its something like 1313. I've always wanted to play a video game in the seedy underworld of the Star Wars universe.

 

She was the writer and creative director of the Uncharted series!

 

yes. i love those games. cinematic and action packed.
