Bloodborne Creator Talks Influences, History
Bloodborne and Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki didn't begin his career in games very early on, but what he's managed to accomplish in the time following his dive into the industry has had a massive influence on the medium and its fans around the world.
A new interview with Miyazaki conducted by The Guardian sheds some more light on the man's history in games, which began in 2004 when he left a job at the US-based Oracle to work as a coder on the Armored Core series for From Software.
Leaving Oracle for From Software resulted in an 80% drop in income for Miyazaki, who was inspired to make the switch regardless after an old friend recommended the game Ico.

Eastwood May Team with Hill & DiCaprio
American Sniper helmer Clint Eastwood is reportedly circling the director's job on Fox's upcoming film about Richard Jewell, the security guard who was suspected of being a terrorist after discovering a suspicious backpack during the '96 Olympics.
Jewell will be played by Jonah Hill (21 Jump Street), while Jewell's lawyer may be played by Hill's fellow The Wolf of Wall Street star Leonardo DiCaprio.
Deadline reports that Eastwood's loyalty to Warner Bros. could be a potential hurdle to a deal. Fox and Warners are reportedly attempting to come to an agreement that would see the two companies co-produce the film, therefore opening the door for Eastwood to direct. Paul Greengrass and David O. Russell are among the directors who have previously flirted with the project, which was once called American Nightmare.
