Drive 2

BatDan · Sep 3, 2013

Doesn't a Hotline Miami movie already exist?

sn00zer · Sep 3, 2013

Or you could watch Drive....actually though the test footage looked pretty cool

Geek · Sep 3, 2013

Neither the publisher, Devolver, nor Dennaton are involved in our film, but we want to honor their enthusiasm and talent.

Why do people keep doing this? Maybe Dennaton will be cool about it, but why not just come up with your own thing?

RetroDLC · Sep 3, 2013

Wait, this isn't developer sanctioned? I'm questioning my contribution now.

Too bad it has nothing but the the poster aesthetic in common with Hotline Miami

Haha 1 out of 2 ain't bad. I had to study Drive at university so I'm not just hating it for the sake of it. I don't 'hate' it either I just think it's rubbish.

There certainly is a lot of total crap on these crowd funding sites, isn't there?

SolidSnakesMyStepDad · Sep 4, 2013

Yes. I have has this idea for a while. Really looking forward to see if it gets funded.

Goron2000 · Sep 4, 2013

Flexible Funding.

Do not donate. They will get a cease and desist notice and you will not get your money back.

Yea I noticed that. Doesn't seem very safe. Especially if one wants to donate a lot of money.

Mandius · Sep 4, 2013

I'm all for fan films, but this is pretty bullshit if they are asking for cash and the creators aren't involved.

JDSN · Sep 4, 2013

Screw this, don't charge people for your fan film and them call them donations to exploit the loophole.

epmode · Sep 4, 2013

Someone explain to me why Indiegogo shouldn't remove flexible funding entirely. I don't get it.

Contributed $5

FINALBOSS · Sep 4, 2013

So...not affiliated in any way with Hotline Miami and are just trying to capitalize on a popular IP at the time? I also bet it's release will coincide with Hotline Miami 2 releasing since they will knock out this short-film in a weekend.

100% PASS on this since it's shameful.

Preposterous! That's like having to study the Great Gatsby in high school and hating it..That book is amazing!

$99k/$100k funded. Project fails, no one gets money, rocks fall, everyone dies. Basically, hard and fixed budget goals aren't always a perfect fit for every project. Some projects will work on their product even if zero money comes in, so in that situation the crowdfunding is less of a "pledge money to get this project off the ground" and more of a "pledge money to show your support for this project". Sure, flexible funding projects can be scams, but there can also be scam fixed funding projects that set low goals to make sure they get some money.

epmode · Sep 4, 2013

How about allowing flexible funding but don't collect the money until the campaign is over. That way, assholes like this will get their project shut down before they can rip anyone off and the legitimate stuff stays.

ThatsMytrunks · Sep 4, 2013

I wonder if they've reached out to Devolver Digital about this. They do have the Hotline Miami license and they did just open an Indie Film branch.

How do you know they have the Hotline Miami license?

Yeah, I got all excited about it until I saw that. Just feels like they're riding on coattails for attention. They could've said "inspired by Hotline Miami" but called it something else and I would've considered investing.

Edit: Oh god I just watched the video on their page and it looks like they missed the point of the game entirely. Biker looking for his missing wife? Jacket an amnesia riddled "badass?" What the fuck. Tone is way off, too. They'd be better off doing their own thing.

New Milli Vanilli cover band? Sounds cool.

fvng · Sep 4, 2013

VHS copy of the film is great as long as it's professionally done

firen · Sep 4, 2013

Drive meets Scarface meets GTA:Vice City. That'd be a cool idea for a video game. Also, maybe a pig head.

Amagon · Sep 4, 2013

Nah, fuck this.

If Dennaton ever give a go to a Hotline Miami movie, I wish it was film in first person shooter style like that Russian music video that had the same idea months back.

Cmagus · Sep 4, 2013

This honestly looks like it could be pretty awesome but I would never donate unless the creators gave their backing and allowed it.

pretty good movie, beautifully shot, rad tracks

Trying to piggyback off an existing property like this is just shameful, though.
