Syphon filter

That is all

Which was in what, 1999? Are they even the same studio as then? Or were people huge fans of the PSP games or something?

Legitimately curious.


Also despite knowing nothing about this and the studio not particularly exciting me, I don't mind the name Dead Don't Ride at all.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Just you wait bro.

Have you seen this game!? I'm excited about the awesome graphics.

 

[pixelation]

Just you wait bro.

Interesting!

 

[Big_Al]

Syphon filter

That is all

And those Syphon Filter handheld games were fucking great too.

 

[pixelation]

Same!

It's metal as fuck!

It better have a metal ass soundtrack.

 

[Drencrom]

I love the name Dead Don't Ride so much.

I hope the title is indicative of how cool the game is, because the title is really growing on me.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Just you wait bro.

oh boy

all this hype maaan!

 

[ConfusedGamer]

Uncharted Golden Abyss was good so I am cautiously looking forward to what they are preparing for the PS4.

 

[KORNdoggy]

And those Syphon Filter handheld games were fucking great too.

Exactly. They did great things with the limitations of the platforms they've worked on. To see what they do with a legit home console release has me excited. And has done every E3 since syphon filter sequel rumours were floating about.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Dead Don't Ride is a great title. I'd be down for a shlocky, fun biker gang take on the zombie apocalypse.

 

[Oneself]

Great title. I'm very curious to see the game now!

 

[Turkoop]

Just you wait bro.

bro... Agent ?!

 

[Clive]

I'd say Resistance Retribution, Syphon Filter(s) and Uncharted: Golden Abyss are widely acknowledged as among the absolute best in their genre on their respective platform. Now they have a bigger team and are working with much less limitations so I'm definitely interested.

No real reason to get hyped yet but I'd say it's definitely worth keeping an eye on.

here an interview from januar 2015 about their game:
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net...h-the-system-somewhere-its-never-been-before/


They use Unreal Engine 4
in Full Production since 2015
want to push the Ps4 system - Somewhere It’s Never Been Before -


at that time less than 50 full time workers....wow

 

[DevilFox]

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea but ehi, at least it's a news from Bend. I almost had a bad feeling about them. You know. Studio Liverpool kind of feeling.

Full production since 2015? Pretty late considering their last release, Uncharted for Vita in 2012, don't you think? It must be something very big for them.

What?

 

[Newtype-001]

I think they had another vita game or something and that got canned, might be remembering wrong.

 

[Ekoria]

Sony can't keep anything a secret.

In late 2012 they were hiring for a Vita game. That was obviously canned. I'd guess that happened somewhere near the end of 2013 or sometime early-mid 2014. Then they had to come up with a new concept and start working with UE4 for the first time. So the timing makes sense.

They were in pre-production for over a year so that puts them starting in ~late 2013. I guess the release is 2017 so that is 3-4 years and they are using Unreal Engine which saved a lot of time/resources with Epic's help?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I imagine Bloodborne on bikes with TLOU over tones. Update your wheel attachments for those hard to deal with crowded streets.

 

[DannyDanger]

I'm a huge Sony Bend fan since the first Syphon Filter hit the PSX, but....

... "Dead Don't Ride" sounds terrible.
And "Metal & Bikes"? What is this? I thought we were getting a hard survival horror game.
Bikes? Ugh...... :/

Posts like these really make me cringe...

Atleast wait until you see the game for yourself

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I really hope that's not the title. It's pretty bad.

 

[Boke1879]

At the end of the day I could care less about the title. If the game looks fucking amazing who really cares.

Like I said earlier. I'm excited for a game called Detriot: Become Human lol.

 

[dracula_x]

Sony can't keep anything a secret.

It's just a title of the game, nothing more.

 

[Huggy]

owwww.. "Agent"

Does anyone here remember the outbreak warning teaser that surfaced around GTA4?

Rumours are that they had multiple projects that didnt went into full production phase before this, including a inFamous Vita game

 

[Pound_lb003]

Hey, they're making a game with zombies inevitably in it.

How utterly boring. If there's a way to drain me of interest right off the bat, it's more fucking zombies. Good luck Bend.

How are you so sure it's with zombies 👀?

I can already see how this is going to turn out.

*Bend creates creatures that are zombie-esque but unique in their own right*
"Meh, might as well be a zombie. Fuck this game!"

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I kid you not, I Googl'd The Last of Us Neogaf announcement and was about to mention the whining over zombies in that thread too lol.

Edit - Quite a bit of shitposting too lol.

 

[SprachBrooks]

Thirsty for them retweets.

This. Teases like this are fucking pathetic. 'Look at me, I'm somewhat of an insider'. Fuck off.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

If it turns out to be open world and horror, it'll be the first Sony 1st party game this gen that I'll likely have no interest in whatsoever. Just not a fan of the genre. Oh well.

..but you bought Bloodborne that not open world and not horror game?

 

[TEH-CJ]

Seriously, does every fucking game now have to be post apocalyptic.

 

[Grief51]

At the end of the day I could care less about the title. If the game looks fucking amazing who really cares.

I agree 100 % Who gives a fuck what the name of the title is? What matters is if the game is fun or not.

A biker zombie apocalypse game with apparently amazing graphics sounds right up my alley. I love when developers take risks on a new daring IP.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Well, I'd say there is a mighty fine variety of games that aren't post-apocalyptic...

 

[Boke1879]

Why are you so upset? He posted it on his twitter. He's having a bit of fun is all and people are having a time on twitter as well. The fact that someone made a thread is outside of his control.

He's literally given us the title and a vague idea of what the game might be. I just think this level of vitriol to a twitter post is a bit much.

 

[orochi91]

Eh?

I'm cool with open-world, but survival/horror screams ZOMBIE to me.

And I hate zombies, they're so boring :/

 

[Auctopus]

If that's seriously the name of the game, it sounds cheap as hell.

 

[Bam Chowder]

Man, I would have loved to see that. The untapped potential of the Vita still cuts me deep.

On topic, assuming the game involves motorcycles, it'd be cool to have the game revolve around managing a motorcycle gang and recruiting members. Basically a fleshed out GTAIV: Lost and the Damned in a post apocalyptic world. Maybe have permadeath for gang members to make supply runs extra intense. I'd buy that game

 

[Beefy]

If that's seriously the name of the game, it sounds cheap as hell.

Really?

 

[Auctopus]

Really?

"Dead Don't Ride" ?

Yeah, I think it sounds cheap. The game might be a AAA blockbuster but I really don't think the name sounds good.

Just put together this story to further the original rumours:

• www.deaddontride.com was registered by Arran Green in 2014

You know what would have made TLoU better? Post apocalypse without zombies.

Everything interesting from that game came from the post apocalyptic angle, not from the zombie angle. EVERYTHING.

You know what zombies were in that game? An excuse to add combat action without suffering from Uncharted's 'ludonarrative dissonance'.

So no... TLoU got away with it, because it's amazingly written. Not being because zombies are good at all.

How are you so sure it's with zombies ��?

I'm not... But I'm saying if it is, then that sucks.
