Two articles about nothing at all in as many days.

Jesus, could these people hype themselves anymore?

Another Daikatana in the making bois.

" @MaddProdigy: Misinformed? Oh, I guess playing the last two pieces of trash they put out is being uninformed.  Actually, the COD4 SP was impressive for it's time. It's MP was trash but less trashy than MW2's broken and buggy mess of an excuse for MP. MW2's SP was like wut? Wut did i just play? Wuut. Also, I don't have to put "OH HEY GUYS ITS MY OPINION HERE" everytime I write something. If you're that antsy about people writing what they think, you should yell at every GB reviewer for not saying "in my own opinion".  So yeah. "

They are probably the most cocky developer in the whole industry.

" They do FPS' exceedingly well, I'm pretty sure they're aware of this so SPOILERS... it'll probably be a FPS. I'm totally intrigued by what it'll be, although being published by EA, they'll probably want them to do the modern warfare thing again :/. " We're not Activision, but dammit, maybe we can fool people into thinking we are..."

Unlike every other anti-MW Giant Bomb troll, you're adorable and unique. "

What if....could it be.....Duke?

RPG game like borderlands, but with the graphics and gameplay MW2 had would be cool. Set it on a planet like pandora or something.

I would love to see the company do something else than an FPS. Hopefully a new IP altogether; although I bet EA would like for it to be what they do best.

yeah gee wow. I'm on the edge of my seat. I don't know if it's going to be a modern warfare clone, or a clone of modern warfare.

I wonder how long West and Zampella will be caught up in Activision's web of legal entanglements?  I hope they don't want to make a modern military shooter.  Hell, if they try to make a shooter that could compete with Modern Warfare 2 might cause them all sorts of headaches/red tape.

There's all kinds of stuff coming out of Gamescom, and this is what you choose to publish? C'mon, this isn't newsworthy at all.

No, I don't expect them to make an awesome game just because they used to work at a place that did.

Well their strengths pretty much revolve around making military shooters. I can't imagine them wanting to start their studio off making some small downloadable game, that's more for indie developers. Since every possible shooter has been covered whether it be a historic shooter or a space shooter, Respawn will have to come up with an entirely original story if they do pursue a FPS. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing them develop a space shooter since you only really got Halo or Killzone at the moment. The good thing about a space shooter is you can be as original with your story and concepts as you want.

I am really rooting for those guys, but there's no way they can pull off another astronomical hit like Modern Warfare 2. I am sure, however, that whatever they come up with will be great, and will do well in the market.

I'm not all that surprised about it. For the first time in a long time they're a new company with new freedoms and they're going to be kicking around ideas and possibly prototyping things.

 "These are two guys who really know what they're doing--having to go find a place for the team, buy chairs and desks and furniture, find new technology from the ground up, and pull a team together. I need HR people and contracts. These are all kinds of things and administration that need to take place. " 
 
This sounds like the bullshit West and Zampella have been feeding EA. I can understand that maybe they don't want to do another wwii-modern shooter and it can be hard to find a new genre to shine in but just say so then. Then again, I can also understand that they don't want to go out and say that they aren't/won't making "MW3" because I think they want the option to make "MW3" if they really wanted to or had no other options. 
 
Also, Jayzilla. I couldn't care less about the pope being the pope. I mean I care about him as any other person but nothing more.

Hell yes.  Strike while the iron is cold.

" @foggel:   so basically make a duo, known for military first-person shooters, new team and new publisher, continue to make military first person shooters? sounds stupid "

They should switch to their sidearms.  It's faster than reloading.

theres no way they'll come up with anything that can match Call of Duty franchise. No fucking way.  
 
 They'll make something pretty cool I'm sure, but nothing as focused and clear cut as Modern Warfare was.  
 
If they try to go up against COD and make a new FPS game, then they'll have to do something amazing. They can, however, come up with a totally different game, yet have the same awesome precision and frame-rate that makes COD games so good. 

" I guess they're having some major lag issues    (Puts on sunglasses) for the long Respawn. "   

They went from living on the streets to now picking couches, ppl should be patient.

I hear Facebook game developers are doing pretty well. I bet these guys are going to make a Farmville clone.

Hoping that Respawn creates something amazing. I would love to see these two guys rise up from the ashes.

I predict a Playstation 4/Xbox 3 launch title from them in 2013.

Hopefully we'll see something that isn't a military based FPS. I'd like to see these guys do something new.

i have sympathy for them but nothing more

modern warfare was and has been trash. great innovation coming off of BF2's modern combat steam, and utterly blown to shit. 

With a name like Respawn Entertainment, it's not hard to imagine what kind of game they'll make. Still, I really wish they would do something different. They're the very definition of "one trick pony".

Not surprised that they haven't exactly gotten anything major started yet. 
 
Give them quite a bit of more time- and they'll deliver.

Is the comment  "It's like the Pope coming from the group of cardinals" really the best analogy? I'm sure some bombers have a better one.

Still feeling cautiously optimistic.

They will be in pre-production for at least another year. Earliest I would expect anything to be revealed would be 2013. 

" It seems a little presumptuous to think they can top the sales success of MW2 starting from scratch.  "

" I guess they're having some major lag issues    (Puts on sunglasses) for the long Respawn. "

It takes some time to get a studio set up...

Holy catshit! I didn't know that!

I wanna see these guys make the next TimeSplitters game.
 
Crytek doesn't seem like they are going to do shit with the series.

With EA pumping out new Bad Company 2 expansions, Battlefield 3, and Medal of Honor, I hope Respawn will do something something different.

I'll be fine with respawn entertainment as long as they dont hire 402 for PR, Call me naive but I believe he is the sole reason IW came off as dicks. This occured to me when Vince Zampella was out there talking about MW2, he didnt sound like a dick at all.

Though I'm not really on the wagon of MW2, I did enjoy a lot of aspects of COD 4. I just didn't like the story telling all that much. With MW2 I didn't really feel the MP would hold my attention over my MP shooting TF2 ways, and the story wasn't enough of a draw for me to really want to buy it.
 
That being said, I'm intrigued to find out what kind of game these guys will put out. If it's going to be another shooter, please don't be in the vein of a war story. I know they do it better than most, but I want to see these guys explore some unfamiliar territory, if not for themselves, for the industry. The last thing we need is another war shooter or GTA clone.
 
I'm also interested in the engine they'll build. MW2 was built off the original COD4 engine, which was a debut for this gen. I'm sure they found out a lot of tricks they could improve on their engine, but would be better off doing it all from scratch.

They should do something unique and original. Like make a gritty and violent crime thriller with an interesting visual style, and mature story and dialogue. Set it in an urban underbelly. 

I guess their first game will release on next-gen platform instead of current-gen.

I really hope that they succeed and shit all over Activision's face.  
But, hopefully, they won't make a mess of a game like MW2...

Whatever they have lined up, and whenever it get's released, its going to be awesome, and it's going to beat whatever Activision has Lined up (Call of Duty: MW 4)!  I just hope that the fan base of COD recognises the new studio!!

Judging by their previous work I'm sure it'll sell a several boatloads. I don't expect any news on them until 2012 or 2013.

How can they make a game, already? They're probably still painting the shed.

I can't imagine starting up a studio with a new engine and tech is remotely simple, but this delay in starting a project also makes them look like they could give a damn about job security. That is to say, EA must be tossing absurd amounts of money at them with the hope that a MW2 gold-mine is lurking somewhere in their collective minds.  Best of luck, but they need to work a little harder than big budget, cheap thrills if they want to reclaim their perceived glory.
