Days Gone 2?
Syphon Filter Remaster/Remake?

Can't just be a new Logo right lol

 

[Vick]

I'll always owe this company one after they gave me Days Gone. I'll be there.

 

[nominedomine]

Live stream for a logo? Did they took inspiration from when Jim Ryan did a presentation for the PS5 logo?

I'll be there.

 

[nani17]

Does the logo play at 4k 60fps or is it locked at 30?

 

[Jaybe]

Bend doing it all wrong. You’re supposed to have your new logo before pride month so you can then make a rainbow version of it. Now all their employees are going to walk out.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

weird.

 

[kyliethicc]

Days Gone 2?

'member. Bend is ' Far Right'

40's the new 30 didn't you hear?

 

[Saber]

Very weird to invite to live stream just for a logo.

 

[Zeroing]

Very weird to invite to live stream just for a logo.

The Designer was proud of it and it gives hints on what they want to work next and the role the studio in relation to PlayStation!

 

[IntentionalPun]

In the middle of what is our "E3 replacement" week they do this... lol Either trolling or trying to get some views for their proud logo guy lol

 

[pqueue]

Ben Dover Studios!

 

[Corndog]

And it’s in the shape of a bend too. Maybe that’s the new logo.

or maybe... you know.. trying to get some more talent on their teams...?

 

[In Cold Blood]

Damm, if the hype around the PS5 logo reveal is anything to go by, things gonna get crazy around here.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Stop laughing whores

 

[Hobbygaming]

Bend instantly became one of my favorite studios with Days Gone. I only played a little of Syphon Filter back in the day. Tremendous team

 

[Batiman]

So exciting! E3 hype is the best!

 

[Daytonabot]

Maybe they're just a week late for rainbow virtue signalling.

 

[AJUMP23]

An announcement for a logo announcement. What are we even doing anymore?

 

[bitbydeath]

 

[The Fartist]

 

[coffinbirth]

Right?
Like...what in the fuck?

Love the Holy Mountain avatar btw, one of my favorite films.

 

[Chronicle]

Ben Dover Studios!

Ben, glad to meet you!

 

[Hawking Radiation]

 

[remember_spinal]

I guess it makes sense though since the studio got new leadership since their last game and will most likely be heading in a new direction with the types of games they are making. A fresh start

Kind of like when Sony Knighted Team Asobi to full studio status after the closure of Japan Studio. They got a new logo and website and what not

 

[kyliethicc]

If they’re smart they’ll relocate to Seattle.

 

[.Pennywise]

How up in your ass must your own head be to believe a logo reveal is something worth announcing with a live stream? LOL

 

[pqueue]

If they’re smart they’ll relocate to Seattle.

Probably too expensive for them at this point.

Office retail/rents are ridiculous, and salary cost and costs of living are substantially higher in Seattle vs Bend (like 46% higher)

 

[MGHA]

Here is their new logo ... (

 

[THEAP99]

Can't believe management is allowing bullshit like this

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Live stream for a new logo….I guess.

 

[TexMex]

the dumbest shit

 

[MasterCornholio]

How up in your ass must your own head be to believe a logo reveal is something worth announcing with a live stream? LOL

All I can think about is they want people to talk about them for some reason.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Days Gone 2?
Syphon Filter Remaster/Remake?

Can't just be a new Logo right lol

Bubsy 3D remastered.

 

[remember_spinal]

I’d rather see/hear what pixelopus is up to. They have been the most quiet this gen

 

[BennyBlanco]

How up in your ass must your own head be to believe a logo reveal is something worth announcing with a live stream? LOL

same reason they think people want to watch them stream days gone in 2022, who the fuck knows

 

[SlimySnake]

April 2019 - Bends ships Days Gone.
June 2022 - Bend reveals 3 years of development work. All spent creating a logo.

Most productive Sony studio since Team Ico.

 

[Solarstrike]

Syphon Filter or no care

 

[Rykan]

Why is this even a thread?

Yes it IS just a new logo. Bend studio has very frequent livestreams in which they play their own games. It's not that strange that they use one of their streams for a logo change. Games do not get announced on companies twitch channel.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Long shot but what if Bend are making a new Infamous? I doubt Sony would let Sucker Punch step away from GoT 2 to work on something that in their eyes means less because it sold less. I know all we have are BS rumors of a new one coming but I want to believe.

 

[SJRB]

Can't believe management is allowing bullshit like this

How dare these fucking assholes try and to do something fun for 10 minutes while having a chat with fans, what an absolute outrage.


JIM RYAN SHOULD COMMIT SUDOKU AFTER THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE

 

[Ic3man]

Cringe

 

[Cyborg]

The current logo is nothing special, Im very (bi)curious to find out!

 

[anothertech]

Days Gone 2 bitches

 

[CamHostage]

All I can think about is they want people to talk about them for some reason.

Well, it's a small little landmark moment for the studio, so it's silly to stream a logo (and even sillier to tease a stream of a logo...) but maybe they're taking this opportunity to just celebrate the history before the next chapter begins. They were just part of the PlayStation Plus+ or whatever the hell launch of backwards-compatible games (although I don't see any of the Syphon Filters or Resistance Retribution on PlayStation store yet... the web store is a real mess, so maybe they're on there and just buried?) and even did Trophies for their old games, so that could be part of the legacy developer chat too. Weird timing for a non-event, but it's not like the internet is going to run out of Twitch streams...

Long shot but what if Bend are making a new Infamous? I doubt Sony would let Sucker Punch step away from GoT 2 to work on something that in their eyes means less because it sold less.

Supposedly Bend was pitching and maybe even working on a bit of an Infamous game for Vita after Uncharted Golden Abyss. So, maybe?

 

[kiphalfton]

Considering they're located in Bend, OR that's not too surprising (since that's where all the hoity toity people flock to).

 

[Dick Jones]

Days Gone 2?
Syphon Filter Remaster/Remake?

Can't just be a new Logo right lol

Uh, Bend could ye please credit Jason for breaking the news that Bend Studios is changing their logo. Bad form to not acknowledge Jason here for his unpublished tweet.

 

[EDMIX]

How up in your ass must your own head be to believe a logo reveal is something worth announcing with a live stream? LOL

Smart for any company. Marketing and branding is not about being humble, quite and polite bud. I don't watch their streams, but if they are re-branding the company, I don't see the harm with showing a new logo and giving a date or time to stream it or something like that. You have to keep the buzz going, keep relevant, post often.

I get many people might see it as a "up in your ass" type thing, but what ode do they have to be quite about this thing? Makes sense to make some noise about
