Guerrilla Games Co-Founder Joins Dead Space Dev

Electronic Arts is bulking up the team behind the Dead Space franchise.

Arjan Brussee, who co-founded Guerrilla Games in 2003, has left the company to take an executive producer position at Visceral Games, according to a report from Control-Online. He was previously the executive producer on all three Killzone titles.

He began his career as a lead programmer at Epic Games working on Jazz Jackrabbit.

"It has been a great ride. Every year there was something ambitious, new and inspiring to put my energy into," he said. "For me, I now want to find a new personal challenge, which I hope to find at EA, and who knows where this will take me next."

  • First... person to wonder how this will affect Guerilla Games
  • killzone wasn't that good anyways. hope he makes dead space 3 as awsome as the last 2
  • Hmmmm, I don't see this as a good thing. The team behind one and two did just fine, why shake it up?
  • Crossover time? :D Killspace? Deadzone? Killdeadspacezone? I'm sorry.
  • Keep the Horror aspects intact!
  • Dead Space 3 cover story this year. DO IT.

  • Dead Space 2 is one of my favorite games of all time...I hope they can keep up the good work with the new blood involved!
  • this is kinda cool

  • Scrap the multiplayer.
  • "iiiiiiiiisaaac......it's not over isssaacc."

  • get rid of mulitplayer, and make a *** story line with a bunch of collectables. DO IT NOW
  • Yeah totally wondering what this means for Killzone 4.  I get the man's need for a change and I see no harm in infusing the KZ franchise with a little fresh blood.

    But I was already worried they would push KZ4 back for a simultanious release with the PlayStation 4 (which would suck)...now I am really worried.

  • Does this guy have any exsperience with horror games? I know Guerrilla Games makes the Killzone series, so I'm a little worried about even more action being added to the series.

  • EA did say they wanted to make a Dead Space FPS. Getting someone experienced in that genre will help them do that, although I'm not really sure if people even want a Dead Space FPS.

  • Interesting, may be shooter elements coming to Dead Space 3?

  • Yay... maybe Killzone won't suck now.  So much wasted potential there...

  • Cool, lets see what happens.

  • I REALLY hope they don't turn this series into a pile of ***.
  • He did fantastic work on the Killzone franchise, and I hope that he continues that trend while working at EA. I can't wait to see what he does with the almost inevitable Dead Space 3.

  • Hmmm Interesting this can't be good for GG
