This would be their first console game since Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain (the fourth in the series). In the meanwhile, they've only made portable games (Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Syphon Filter: Combat Ops, and Resistance: Retribution on PSP and Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Uncharted: Fight for Fortune (the card battle game) on Vita). In my opinion, they were all high quality games, especially their Syphon Filter games (still bummed they've never resolved Logan's Shadow's cliff-hanger ending).

I was born in 93. Does that mean I was born cool?
All that means is I feel old.

Oh damn, so anything open world seems kind of reaching for them. Hopefully they nail it though.
Sounds EXACTLY how I would play demos with my brothers. Bargaining for demos or playtime and having to make the Sophie's choice of video games.
The snow level with the boulder in crash bandicoot or the tomb raider two demo where you're stuck in the den with the tiger. Both provide ample opportunities for demo fuckery.

it was a game made by dorks who loved metal and thought satanic imagery was kewl for dorks who loved metal and thought satanic imagery was kewl. It was made for kids who loved making boot discs to free up a teeny bit of ram for their latest MS-DOS floppy disk games and for people with the patience to check IRQs and patiently set up their sound blaster configurations to make certain they got them sick tunes right.
let's not pretend doom was made for anyone but people like that (a group i include myself in, btw). that it took off the way it did was more a tale of the times than it was a game meant to appeal to a broad swath of gamers.

The demos for Half-Life and Diablo were great back in the day. The Diablo demo (Diablo Spawn was the name, I think) had full battle.net support so you could play online and everything. Deus Ex had a huge demo, too. Growing up with a subscription to PC Gamer and its monthly demo discs was pretty damn cool.

I mean the UT demo is pretty much unbeatable but other ones I loved
- SiN
- Robot Alchemic Drive
- Red Faction Guerilla
- Die by the Sword (so dumb, but played it over and over)

Well, they last released a game in 2012. It was Uncharted: Fight For Fortune, which was a collaboration with One Loop Games. Uncharted Golden: Abyss, which released earlier that year, was their last "real" game. So, they've been working on Dead Don't Ride since at least 2012 and I doubt it will be a 2016 release, so that's quite a lengthy development timeline. I hope that time was put to good use and learned a lot about open world game do's and don'ts.
I can't even begin to count the hours I played the UT demo. Instagib CTF all day erryday.

UT 2003 had a great demo, too. I played the hell out of that Bombing Run map and was endlessly amused seeing my dude bouncing and ricocheting off of the metal beams in the pit behind the goal (this was still very much in the "PHYSICS ARE COOL" era).
I worked on the new series and seeing the old sets and stuff was kind of a mind blow.

the Assault mode in ut2014 was the real deal and not enough games copied it, much like how Killzone's warzone mode needs to be in more games.

We're talking about Summer Lesson and VR murder in my computer ethics class this week. I just needed to share that.

You did the animation and stuff, right?

has Spawn ever been good
serious question, it just always comes across as edgelord shit to me, never read any comics
shortsFortallPeople

no, it was never good. It just got by on McFarlene's designs, which appeal to 90's teens who were into metal, comics, and doom.
I read like the first 13 issues trying really hard to get into it and I couldn't even force it and it was made for people like me
The HBO cartoon was kinda neat though. no one was making animation like that at the time (except for a small pacific island nation which loved to produce animations for all sorts of people) so it was a hell of a novelty

Spawn seemed pretty dumb even when I was 8 years old.

Yeah, I don't remember Spawn every being good but I liked the movie because of John Liguizamo.
No, and that`s what it`s always been. Could be cool when you were a kid, but not past that.
Well, the Spawn movie is art.

Seconded. I thought his description of the The Division was brutally accurate: "Ubisoft's latest massive effort in portraying a fantasy of state violence."
I went to a film school with a dude who listed his top 2 fav. movies as Spawn and Ninja Assassin
Vis dev. I designed all the costumes/characters. Stuff like this:
Joel is the humblest, nicest client I've worked for in almost twenty years of doing this stuff. Getting to world build on the new series was incredibly professionally satisfying. I shot for Conan the Barbarian meets Barbarella, art direction wise.
He probably got through film school the same way Dan did.

is he currently making TNA video packages
Awesome. Really looking forward to the new episodes.

i wouldn't know, a old buddy of mine tried to get a group of us into it and half of us passed out within 30 minutes
Me too. I'm really happy to see it get a second life. Lots of very talented people involved, so I have high hopes.
Sounds really promising!
This Gran Turismo interview on Demo Derby is the saddest thing. Didn`t sound like those dude had been home for the entire development of that game.

ok I was thinking of Ninja Scroll this whole time, oops
A stranger is just a friend you haven't had sex with yet.
From what I've heard Dan say he was film major but not in a film school, right?
Anyway this dude and his two best friends went to my film school and they were all from the same small town, maybe 1000 people, 1 hour drive outside of Reykjavík. Of course they all worked together on all their projects and they did the same mistakes, in addition to being all around bad, over and over and over in the short films they made.
1. Made them in english with young actors that have never acted before in english even tho the only people that will ever see them are Icelandic.
2. Only made movies that required a really high amount of CGI and practical effects while at the same time having 0 budget.
I love my film school because it had great teachers but I hate people who can't even learn the basics of filmmaking finish it because the school can't afford losing the income from each student.
Hah!

Speaking of Demo Derby, the only fantastic thing to come out of Spawn for me was the HBO animated series(never read the comics). Also, you can't go wrong with Keith David voicing him.

So probably, the same demographic that will be really into Drawn to Death's (David Jaffe's free-to-play PS4 game) aesthetic.
