Giant Bomb co-founder Ryan Davis dies at 34

Ryan Davis, former GameSpot editor and co-founder of Giant Bomb, died on July 3. He was 34.

Davis' death was reported by Giant Bomb, where Davis served as editor since the site's inception in 2008. The cause of death was not given.

Born June 4, 1979, Davis started at GameSpot in 2000 and spent eight years there, co-hosting video shows such as Time Trotters and On the Spot. He left the site in late 2007 and founded Giant Bomb with former GameSpot colleague Jeff Gerstmann the following year.

At Giant Bomb, Davis hosted the Giant Bombcast, one of the web's most consistently popular video game podcasts. He also led the site's regular panels at PAX Prime and PAX East, which tended to be standing-room-only affairs. Davis and the Giant Bomb team rejoined their former colleagues at GameSpot in March 2012 when that site's parent company, CBS Interactive, acquired Giant Bomb.

"Ryan was a good friend to all of us," said Giant Bomb's Matthew Rorie in an obituary posted to the site this afternoon. "It's odd to remember that, for someone who could be so acerbic at times, and despite knowing him for almost a decade, I honestly don't recall ever actually being mad at him."

Davis had gotten married shortly before his death, at the end of June.

"In the face of this awfulness, many of us will at least always remember him as we last saw him: outrageously, uproariously happy, looking forward to his next adventure with the biggest grin his face could hold," added Rorie.

Many of us at Polygon knew Davis, and we'd all like to send our most sincere condolences to his friends and family, as well as the entire Giant Bomb community.

Pff maak gewoon een nieuwe BIA..

Borderlands and Brothers in Arms developer Gearbox Software is now creating a new franchise for release on next-gen consoles.

Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford briefly mentioned the fresh IP while speaking on the Nerdist podcast (thanks, MP1st), but declined to give further details.

The smart money would be on Gearbox crafting a new shooter, the genre with which the studio has found fame - and infamy, via Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Pitchford also confirmed that new Borderlands 2 DLC was on the way, despite the fact that all Season Pass packs had now launched.

"Everyone was under the expectations that those would be the four DLC's and that's it," Pitchford explained. "We are going to do more, we are going to do some other things. I don't have details exactly of it yet cause were not ready to announce what the other things are.

"We got more stuff in the hopper that we're planning and getting pretty excited about. So if you're a Borderlands 2 fan you don't have to be afraid that that's the end of it."

Gearbox has already released a selection of extra content not included in the Borderlands 2 Season Pass - two new characters, a level cap upgrade pack and character skins - as well as the four meaty campaign add-ons for Season Pass holders.

Een Borderlands MMO zou ook wel fijn zijn voor de next-gen console

Delphiki · 9 jul 2013

Het zal vast een game a la Borderlands worden, dat is verreweg hun grootste cash koe

Modder-Eter · 9 jul 2013

Aliens 2 onder een andere naam!

DulleNL · 9 jul 2013

Wat is er met Furious 4 gebeurd?

Delphiki · 9 jul 2013

uitbesteed aan 14 andere matige studios a la Aliens?

DulleNL · 9 jul 2013

Maar dat was hun eigen game, niet een waar ze voor werden betaald om te maken door een andere publisher.

Hopelijk op de brandstapel. Al staat de release nog steeds geplanned voor dit jaar.

Voor zover ik kan zien helaas niet voor Next Gen.

Over het ontbreken van een next-gen versie:

“I think there’s often a push for developers to tart their games up and look slightly better for the immediate rush for the next generation. But it costs a lot of money to put these Formula 1 games out. There’s a lot of money involved in trying to secure the rights for licenses. Also, for us, we don’t just want to tart the game up. As far as we were thinking, there was more that we could extract from the current hardware. We knew we could get more out of the content, in terms of incorporating the Classic Mode. That was a big win; we’d been working on it for a long time and it was ready to go. For us to incorporate next-gen now meant that we’d probably pare the game back, and it would have been a vanilla experience just to get the tick on the next-gen box. When Formula 1 changes dramatically for the 2014 season, when all the rules change and turbos come back into the sport and it really gets things mixed up again, maybe that’s a better opportunity for us to be looking at what we can do for next-gen.”

“I’m sure they’re going to be great experiences. Do they excite me enough at the moment to necessarily move across to next-gen? No. I think it looks like they are trying to be out there for obvious reasons at the start of the generation but for Formula 1 we don’t want to release that vanilla experience, we want something different. Maybe it becomes really about the driver’s perspective and you do a crazy helmet cam version. You make it 3D environmental and we do something that isn’t safe, rather than simply turn the graphics up to 11 and give you better resolutions. We’ve been there, done that; we can do more.”

Hoe duur zou classic duurder worden?

Excess-Denied · 23 jul 2013

Edit: het lettertype is ook niet echt hetzelfde gedaan als voorgaande delen, ben benieuwd als de timer afgelopen is.

Ter vergelijking L4D2 box-art.

games with gold voor augustus (gerucht, volgens poolse site):
Crackdown and Dead Rising 2

Nightbringer · 30 jul 2013

Oe! Dead Rising 2 zou tof zijn.

DulleNL · 30 jul 2013

Dat Games with Gold is niks voor mij dan... Alle goede games in die 'actie' heb ik al, en die wat ik nog niet heb wil ik ook niet. Anders had ik het wel eerder gekocht.

Met PS+ is dat anders, omdat daar ook zeer recente games worden aangeboden. Hier heb ik al jaren bedenktijd gehad.

Daz · 30 jul 2013

Dead Rising heb ik nog niet gespeeld, zou tof zijn als die gratis is.

Crackdown. Bazenspel.

Dead Rising 2 is logisch, gezien het volgende deel er aan komt. Ook gelijk een hintje naar Crackdown 3?
