Not sure on rules for linking to Polygon, but Polygon confirms this is for game trust the publisher gamestop is forming: deformers is game trust published

Looks awesome btw.

GameStop's Mark Stanley said they signed Ready At Dawn's next game because of its broad appeal, both from a gameplay and character perspective. There's a low barrier to entry, but there's a high skill ceiling. It doesn't hurt that Deformers is pretty well suited for demo kiosks at GameStop stores.

 

[Hasney]

Y'all wanted gameplay.

Don't even get mad about this.

I'm certainly not.

 

[Mdk7]

Not what I expected, but I dig this.

 

[Devilinthiscity]

Was expecting something else....but it looks like it could be fun.

 

[FallenGrace]

I'm not a fan of The Order, had amazing visuals and art but the rest was awful.

That said this isn't to my taste either. There are a lot of arena based multiplayer games around at the moment so I feel they'll need to work hard to stand out.

 

[Duxxy3]

Well that is certainly... something.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Looks like a fun little title. I'm all for devs not getting stuck in one particular rut, so this is nice to see.

All the AAA groupies need to freakin' relax. Give them time.

 

[mcz117chief]

Well...it looks nice and cute, but I expected a bit more from them. I doubt this is their only project though.

 

[Always-honest]

Looks like a whole lot more fun than The Order.
But not sure how much fun it is yet. Would like to see more.

 

[Bastion]

Does anyone think this game will sell at all? So disappointed. It's the genre that I really have absolutely no interest in.

Oh well. Hopefully they will do a sequel to The Order next. I loved The Order which I know is not the majority opinion.

 

[poncle]

I don't get the hate, it seems like a lot fun

It's all about presentation and marketing. I think it will make enough money to be profitable at least.

 

[c0de]

Why is it sad? That kind of looks like fun.

Exactly. This looks fun and has a good art style.

 

[Litri]

WAT?

 

[Slixshot]

that's not what I wanted.

 

[@Wreck]

any screen snaps? (sorry at work)

 

[valkillmore]

Looks fucking awesome. Can't wait to try it. Don't sleep on this one.

 

[Kazuhira]

You had your chance RaD.
Now look at the shit you have to work to make a living.

 

[gafneo]

Little Deviants2

 

[shinobi602]

It's something they've been wanting to make. Not sure why people are acting all crazy, it looks real cute and like a fun game to me.

They're working on a AAA game.

 

[inki]

Looks like Agar.io X Smash Brothers.


Could be hella fun really. I'll wait to pass judgement.

 

[Labadal]

They are making this game, a VR game and are also in pre-production of an AAA game. They seem to be doing fine.

 

[bounchfx]

Looks like they decided to make an actual game this time. I see no problem with this. Maybe it'll be fun, fun is important in a game.

 

[E_Darkness]

I did wonder what happened to Sony's small digital game output this gen. It was never outstanding, but it existed on the PS3.

 

[Hasney]

I think they've more given the tools to developers to self-publish rather than fund things.

 

[OléGunner]

Now look at the shit you have to work to make a living.

Don't stress, they are still making a AAA game which is what a lot of RAD staff are focused on (in addition to a VR title)

 

[PaulloDEC]

Clearly we're going to have to quote this on every page:

Chief creative officer and co-founder Ru Weerasuriya confirms that the studio currently has three titles in development: the just announced physics-based brawler De-formers, an unannounced Oculus Rift-exclusive title, and a mysterious AAA game in pre-production.

All the people rubbing their hands together in glee at the prospect of a studio having to downsize their ambitions after a poorly received game (which as previously mentioned isn't actually what's happening here) need to step back and take a look at themselves.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

GameStop on a roll

 

[IvanJ]

Im pretty sure their decision not to become a Sony first party studio is what challenged their AAA development. I think that their sequel to The Order would have let them address the majority of criticisms and create a great game. But it won't happen as a third party.

I doubt it was their decision. It was one of those "quit so we don't have to fire you" deals for sure.

 

[Caronte]

How is this AAA?

Edit: Explained in this page.

 

[Kyoufu]

It's something they've been wanting to make. Not sure why people are acting all crazy, it looks real cute and like a fun game to me.

They're working on a AAA game.

It better be The Order 1888.

As for this game, it looks like it could be fun. Need to see more as the trailer was pretty short.

 

[HStallion]

I have no issue with developers trying something different and smaller scale games like this seem like a decent avenue for experimenting and trying something different. It can probably get a bit maddening working on the same kind of game over and over for some people. The game itself looks interesting but not sure if its for me, will wait to see more.

 

[hemo memo]

How is this AAA?

It's not. Their AAA game is in pre-production.

 

[eloxx]

Was so disappointed after seeing that trailer. Nothing left to say. Where is that over the top AAA experience RAD?

 

[p0rl]

Looks fun, and it's a shame that people are using this as an excuse to rub their hands with glee at how far RaD have "fallen."

 

[PulseONE]

Well that was disappointing

 

[hemo memo]

[shinobi602]

It better be The Order 1888.

Sadly...no.

But hey, new IP's always exciting though.

 

[Warxard]

Sadly...no

God bless. Let that IP rot in the mediocrity pit it deserves to be in.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Like, a couple of years away? The Order only released a touch over a year ago; did you really think we'd be seeing their next AAA title this soon?

 

[Kyoufu]

Sadly...no.

But hey, new IP's always exciting though.

Fuck that, I want my sequel :'(

 

[Kazuhira]

Thanks for the info.
I was just pissed off because i saw potential with The Order 1886 and now i see this game.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Hard to dictate exactly what this is from the trailer, but this looks like a totally solid casual multiplayer game. With a bright artstyle and fun vibe.

Pretty much a full 180° from The Order's bleak vibe. And this one's actually a videogame.

 

[Dmax3901]

Holy shit that soundtrack is straight up Splatoon plagiarism.

The Order was a video game too.

If you're going to go down the "it's not a game" road nonsense then don't reply, I don't care to read it.

 

[BigDes]

Looks interesting

Question how many multiplayer arena shooters the market can support though

My guess is 3 and they're all already out

 

[NinjamicWZ]

This is the game that everyone deserves.

 

[ZeroX03]

Echoing that it already looks like a more substantial and fun experience than The Order.

 

[Volotaire]

This looks great! I'm keeping an eye in this.

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Yeah that looked fun lol
