Leslie Benzies is the name that still rings the bell in the gaming industry, in the GTA 5 community particularly. He certainly had a good resume to offer even he may not be as highly recognized as Hideo Kojima.
Another history in the world of video games is about to be made by the former president after his controversial departure from Rockstar North. After being departed in the studio due to an internal feud, Benzies tried to look for another path.
According to pcgamers, Leslie Benzies together with ex-Rockstar figures Mathew Smith (former audio director) and Colin Entwistle (former lead programmer) hoping to develop a new project and created his own team. No one knows where their office is situated and what's the name but one thing is for sure, they did make a masterpiece.
It has a working title "Everywhere", it has a lot of traditional game mechanics and it is to be released soon. Amazon Lumberyard, an Amazon's very own free game engine is where the game engine is being based. Amazon's technologies and cloud services provide the power and flexibility to create a new type of game that was never before possible for today's massive gaming communities.
Many have already thought of Everywhere as something that's kind of related to other Rockstar games such as GTA 5. According to GameSpot, Leslie Benzies stated that their game "Everywhere" is very different from GTA. Although some parts are the same but it surely differs when it comes to the tone and how it is set by the players in time that they are in control.
Benzies want players to have a real freedom to live in our worlds in the ways they wanted to because players nowadays are getting smarter and require more of their games. "Everywhere" is truly a unique game and can't be compared to GTA 5 or any other as Benzies and his team promised.
