Merus Posted February 27, 2014 Within like 2 hours of receiving that newsletter, I decided that song needed music. I don't have the best software, so I couldn't make a proper shanty, only a midi-type punky pirate thing and the result is super dumb in a way I'm totally proud of. In the annals of excellent first posts, this is right up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prettyunsmart Posted February 27, 2014 How many game studios that you know have that good of a theme song, especially before they even announce their first game. Come to think of it, how many game studios have theme songs at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted February 28, 2014 In the annals of excellent first posts, this is right up there. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better first post. Good job! :tup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted February 28, 2014 Come to think of it, how many game studios have theme songs at all? I remember reading about one. Was it Bullfrog or Sensible Software or similar..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SiN Posted February 28, 2014 "Aye, and it reminds me ... of a song!" I remember reading about one. Was it Bullfrog or Sensible Software or similar..? I think it was Infogrames. Ohh yeah: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2007/09/sing-along-with/ ... Oh man, it's *sooo* bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Posted March 2, 2014 potential hot scoop: something I spotted during the DayZ stream that I was watching today. https://twitter.com/GamerClaw/status/440225727149903872 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted March 2, 2014 I'll post it in here You know what I'm thinking... Why play the most dangerous game? Why use the Hunger games as an analogy so often? Why are these ideas so prevalent in Sean's noggin? I think we're going to see people in extraordinary circumstances, pitted against each other. Post apocalyptic? Maybe. the last survivors. There is going to be some lord of the flies shit going down. The interactions between a small group of people, isolated, alone, up in the mountains.... At the Lookout. Oh also, that's the name of the game. The Lookout You've got to love a little wild speculation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted March 2, 2014 What if the DayZ stream was really the start of a Campo Santo ARG... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted March 2, 2014 You play as the last human being in the world decimated by advertising robots. You must scavenge billboards for building material, set up fortifications and defend yourself against "targeted advertising" by Big Dogs and Petmen long enough to finish your epitaph for humankind. Also, awesome work Tylea002! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Leego Posted March 2, 2014 Good archival skills, Arthur. Cave confirmed! But what pre-existant franchise could #LookOut possibly be part of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmer Posted March 2, 2014 The Matrix It's coming back in a big way, trust me Enter the Matrix #LookOut. Neo ain't dead (sorry spoilers) he's just been kicking back at a mountain reserve these past 10 years Who'd have thought it, Campo Santo, making a Golf game set in the Matrix universe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Posted March 2, 2014 Thanks, you guys. I like Jake's face when it came up Will there be some sort of Obama dunk-off boss fight? Maybe a ghost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coods Posted March 3, 2014 The way this sparse game information is being leaked through Diet Coda demos and DayZ streams makes this the weirdest ARG ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted March 3, 2014 Campo Santo turns out to be a wholly owned yet secret subsidiary of Double Fine (notice the twin words that comprise their name; they mean the same thing in the lost language of Bethandír) and are making the true sequel to Psychonauts. The wilderness vibe proves it! Everything else is a ruse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenetic Pony Posted March 3, 2014 The way this sparse game information is being leaked through Diet Coda demos and DayZ streams makes this the weirdest ARG ever. They've secretly been bought by Valve. Half Life 3 CONFIRMED. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted March 3, 2014 Half Life 3 is a camping simulator where Gordon decides to say fuck society and goes to hide on a mountain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted March 3, 2014 Half Life 3 is a camping simulator where Gordon decides to say fuck society and goes to hide on a mountain. that's simply not believable. Good try though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted March 3, 2014 If campo santo created any Half Life content it would be a talking mod for Gordon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted March 3, 2014 I hope it's an inner monologue that reveals his thoughts and feelings to the player but the game characters are still given the silent treatment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
