We are seeking a Principal Graphics Programmer to contribute to our development process as we tackle exciting innovation and rendering opportunities through a collaboration with Sony Pictures Animation. This position specializes in programming that centers around the graphics functionality of the PlayStation 5 and Unreal 5 game engine, but with our small team, responsibilities will be diverse.

Given how much Unreal has boasted about 'film quality assets' in the UE5 demos, this could be a pretty spectacular looking project.

Uhh… this is very exciting?? Spiderverse, The Mitchells Vs. The Machines… Sony Pictures Animation has been on a tear lately

I loved Concrete Genie, so I'm looking forward to this one. Interesting that they're collaborating with SPA - curious as to how that is going to work, but good to see Sony leveraging its entertainment assets.

Has PixelOpus been growing or are they still less than 20 developers?

Really cool. I liked Concrete Genie a lot, and am looking forward to a hopefully bigger and more complex new game.

What people forget is that a lot of devs from PixelOpus (and Sony San Mateo) are coming from LucasArts. Dominic Robilliard himself was a Creative Director of Star Wars 1313.

Their team has a huge potential.

A game with visuals similar to Into the Spider-Verse/The Mitchells would be very interesting, I'm growing fond of that style.

Concrete Genie was really cool, can't wait to see their next title and damn that's an exciting collaboration thinking about the visuals and animation for their next game.

I would have bet on them going down the Mm route and choosing to remain a small studio. Rapid growth, and big technical collaborations with a top tier Animation studio are welcome surprises. If this new game is as much as a leap, as Concrete Genie was from Entwined, yeah, this could be their big break.

Imagine a Spider-verse game which is aimed for younger audiences recreates the style of the movie. Insane sales if true.

Sony Pictures Animation?

No fucking way, don't tell me this is a Spider-Verse game.

And some people here were saying Sony will close them, because Sony only cares about AAAA blockbuster games.

We don't need a second Sony studio doing Spiderman games. One is more than enough! Hope it's a new ip

Loved CG, i just hope that they learn from bend's mistakes in doing something that fits their size.
I still firmly believe that if bend didn't make an open world game it would have been received better, just keep it simple and grow a bit with each game.

Well I was going to say they forget to mention PS4 too (after the recent fiasco) but I saw UE5 and I got some relief that it will be PS5 only this time.
Then again UE5 can work on PS4, so...

The studio is very small. I really doubt Sony would put a tiny team that last we know has a little over 20 devs on Spidey.
