The lead designer on Anthem, Corey Gaspur, has passed away

Damien Mason August 1, 2017 Software & Gaming

BioWare has announced that 9-year veteran Corey Gaspur has passed away. His credits extend across many titles from the company, including his lead designer role in the upcoming online shooter, Anthem.

Gaspur served as a gameplay/level designer at BioWare for over 9 years, credited for many triple A titles such as Mass Effect 2 and 3, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Dragon Age: Origins and most DLC.  Aside from design work, he also gained consultation credits for his roles in Mass Effect: Andromeda, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Star Wars Battlefront and Mirror's Edge.

BioWare has yet to release a statement on who will step into Gaspur's shoes on its upcoming shared-world shooter, Anthem but a statement shows that they will be big shoes to fill.

“Corey was a talented designer and an even better person. We offer our condolences to Corey’s family and everyone that knew him,” BioWare wrote. “We will miss you.”

KitGuru Says: We give our condolences to the friends and family of Gaspur and cherish the memories he has helped give us all. Do you have fond memories with any of the titles above?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
