Skewed and Reviewed have posted some PS 4 Pro Gameplay action of Drawn to Death which is free this month for PS Plus members.
The servers shut down today (March 25th, 2019), less than two years since the game launched.
This game just wasn't good, which is a shame because I was one of five people that actually liked the artstyle. It had a cool tutorial though, I'll give it that much
I liked the art style a lot, it was really unique. Never actually gave the game a try though.
how about in the tutorial when it told you to try the voice commands. i fell for that crap lol
I loved the artstyle on this but it was severely lacking in animation between the key frames of animation and was hard on your eyes. If it felt smoother and was 60fps I would have kept playing it.
I was kind of underwhelmed when Jaffe and crew delivered this one. It felt, looked and played like a leftover ps2 era project. However, it was true to its roots.
I think that guy is done man. He created GoW and TM but other than that, not so much good stuff. Just like Cliffy B. Let them go.
He's started the planning phase for a horror game. He talks about what hes up to on twitter, all the time.
Jaffe stated many times that he has no interest in making AAA games anymore. He said that he's already made his mark with the first 2 GoW games on the PS2. He's solidified a legacy with those games. Also, he doesn't want to get back into AAA games mainly because it would tear him apart from his family which he said is his main priority these days.
He seems kinda bitter really. He also said he hasn't played the new God of War, or at least that's what he said a few months back. Seems strange that he directed the first and with what Cory and Santa Monica did with the new game was incredible! You'd think he'd want to support it. But he's more worried people being pissed about Beyond Good and Evil 2 being multiplayer!
God of War spoiler: David Jaffe is one of the giants who has fallen and died at the end of the new game. His legacy lies in the mountains though for others to build upon.
Except for Drawn to Death. Let that s*** stay dead. The thing was more like one of the turds the giant sha* out in his pants as he fell to his death.
No please don't, TM was awful.
And with God of War?...well there's a new God. but thanks for GOW 1,2,3 anyhow.
I can honestly say that this was the worst PS exclusive in history IMO. I only played it for 10 minutes though.
In our latest editorial, we discuss Telltale's handling of their studio closure, Sony's decision to pull the plug on Drawn to Death, and the reveal of a new legendary Pokémon.
It’s a noble notion to say they should take care of their people and not worry about finishing the game, but that’s kind of a stretch realistically. Finishing the game may be the beatnik they can do at this point and it’s better than nothing. My only problem with this whole situation is how did the suits not see this coming. They were hiring couple of weeks ago and now theyre belly up. Did the finance department not know how dire things were? That part doesn’t Add up.
Apparently it has to do with a major financial investor suddenly pulling out. But if the company was on such a knife edge, surely it's their legal and moral obligation to communicate to their employee's? The whole situation is a mess.
The inevitable has arrived for David Jaffe’s Drawn to Death.
This game was sentenced to death right from the start... PVP game with Pay2Win elements? Good luck with that...
I replied with the same thing just after you. I was excited for the game, got the game and saw it was pay to earn all of the characters and moves. He did something similar with the PS3 version of Twisted Metal. I think has a problem trying to find that balance for PvP and progression.
Creator of God of war has been reduced to this.
Single player is where his strengths are at, he should focus on that instead.
Also, I didn't even know the game released.
He was a late victim from a dying trend. Felt for the trap real good... Everytime some golden egg comes around, lots of people fall for it and fail.
this is what its come down to for david jaffe, offering his games now for free to sony? he was once known for god of war and twisted metal, then he hated the pressure of aaa games and made callling all cars for psn, which failed commercially. now he's back with this and its free to plus members. does david think he owes sony for his success or something? this should be another rocket league type of release. offer it free on ps4, get some recognition but also sell it on the pc and other platforms for $9.99
This game is actually really fun, runs well and is funny. Im happy i got it free on pro. Puts alot of other AAA mp games to shame.
Played some last night before I went back to Horizon, but a real great game, cleaver art style, great gameplay I'll comeback once my obsession is finished with Horizon.
People are hating on it because....
A) They Don't like David Jaffe (I know he's kind of stern and blunt... He tells it how he feels it.. But that is definitely no reason to hate the guy that created Twisted Metal and God of War... He's an industry icon. He's extremely passionate about his games and team)
B) They don't understand the theme, style, or graphics... They think it looks UGLY AND HORRIBLE... but the THING IS... IT's SUPPOSED to look UGLY AND HORRIBLE on PURPOSE...
The entire game.... Every single aspect of it is from the mind of a "teenagers notebook doodles".... The characters, the level designs, the weapons, etc, etc, all of these are the creation of this twisted teenager...
You basically are playing inside the pages of a NOTEBOOK that has been doodled in by this twisted minded teenager...
Think back to all the times you've spaced out or daydreamed or were just bored and started to doodle in your notebooks, binders, or textbooks.... That's what the WHOLE IDEA of this game is about...
The reason it looks janky, raw, and un-trained is because none of us are professional and trained artists when we're in highschool doodling inside our notebooks.
Watch some fucking developer diary videos or something people... You'll actually learn a thing or two... In fact some of the artists on the game even talk about how it is super difficult to design stuff to look HORRIBLE and SHITTY on purpose.
So fucking tired of people being close-minded to video games... Just like the judgemental ass people in real life that don't give a person the time of day because of their appearance.
Awesome game .
