"From the outset Drawn to Death drags you kicking and screaming into its messed up world. It’s self aware, wonderfully vulgar and downright hilarious…" - n3rdable
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.
