    The news came up in one of our newspapers today (for those who can read french): http://lapresseaffaires.cyberpresse.ca/ ... ntreal.php

    No layoffs or anything, so that's good. I guess they were really happy with Montreal's work on the Dead Space Extraction port for PS3!

    I'm pretty sure it's got a lot more to do with the yet unannounced game everyone on the Montreal scene knows about already

    Some kind of AAA military FPS from what I saw from the job postings in the last months?

    But it'll be more visceral and emotionally engaging, as well as taking players to places they've never been before!

    I'm hoping the military FPS is untrue and it's really Dante's Purgatorio.

    Here are some of the posts I had come across:

    - Electronic Arts Montreal is looking for a highly motivated individual with outstanding communication skills and a proven ability to achieve superior quality in the AAA shooter space.

    - EA Montreal is seeking an Animation Director for an exciting new AAA 3rd Person Action IP!

    - One of our most popular military first person shooter franchises is seeking a Lead Designer to join either our Montreal or LA team.

    - EA Montreal is looking for a talented, motivated Technical Artist for one of our most popular franchises.

    - EA Montreal is currently looking for Senior Level Designers who will be working under the direction of the Lead Level Designer for an exciting new AAA 3rd Person Action IP!

    3rd person action IP? Sounds like Dante's Purgatorio to me!

    Last I heard it was a 3rd person action adventure title that had some shooting elements. I know a few more things that I can't spill here, but I'd be very very surprised if it turned into a shooter proper.

    Depends on the company I think. Maybe in some small studio that makes games for handhelds.

    My guess would be;

    Both got a few years on their resume, but only the lead wanna be a boss and have the responsibility that comes with it. (Leadership skills comes in handy)

    Seniors are expected not to fuck up. Leads lead a team of people whose job title dictates how many fuck ups they can get away with. Of course, that implies that leads never fuck up.

    So basicly Lead equals more responsibility and "Leading"?

    Leads spend more time with Microsoft Office applications than Seniors.
