I'd say it was not good news for Sony, but he's staying at PS so ... either moving to another studio or up in the corporate ladder.
I did try Days Gone not that long ago and was not that impressed so .... curious to see what they have coming next.

Yes, he stays at Sony so the talent isn't lost.
In any case he's credited in Days Gone as Lead Open World Designer but before that he was a support designer (not a lead role, the opposite) in Resistance: Retribution. He was production assistant in Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Syphon Filter: Combat Ops, Resistance: Retribution and Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
There are a ton of open world games out there made by other studios, so I think it won't be so hard to find a good designer to replaceme him.
Days Gone is my favorite Sony game, and really my game of last generation.
Feels lonely loving that game lol

You know ... I've been wondering. Is your avatar just your latest creative expression, or is it more directed towards how you feel about us?
I did prefer blondie/kojima/cerny, not gonna lie.

hard to get excited for anything Bend does going forward after they (and Sony) ousted Jeff Ross for the FAKE, MANUFACTURED low-review scores from the mainstream games journalists.
we all know why they took Days Gone down.
Days Gone sitting at 70 on metacritic is absolutely laughable, the game is AAA in every regard.
Can't wait to see what woke nonsense the shell of Bend craps out moving forward.

You're not alone. I loved Days Gone. My 2019 goty, 5th best game overall of last generation and Days Gone 2 was my most anticipated PS5 sequel up until it was known that they're not doing a sequel.
The last thing I knew (listening/reading Jaffe/leaks)
Is that after Days Gone, Bend was basically in disarray.
And re-organizing takes time.
This is a small example of why I think The Acti-Blizzard aftermath is going to be hell.

It's a solid 8, but then again the scale fluctuates based on many things outside of the game itself. Shilling for or against (console war) is a factor, politics/cultural wars is a factor etc...
Definitely don't need a sequel. It's a good standalone. For all the speculation about the work they're been doing, it's an enigma still as to what they're working on right now.

Days Gone is a 95/100 for me, but I also couldn't care less what others rate it at.
A little bummed we aren't getting a sequel.. about the only reason I care about review scores as I do want the games I like to do well enough to get more content and scores can matter.
But outside of that?
Meh.. I don't have a problem with the fact my tastes aren't 100% mainstream.

Dayz Gone was the one 1st party game I couldn’t play much. The combat felt like turd and just wasn’t on the same level as the other studios in my opinion.
If they don’t produce a great game this gen, I think they will get the Evolution treatment and I won’t mind tbh. Or they become a support team lol
