Former Dead Space devs reveal Sledgehammer Games photo

What are Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, former Visceral/Electronic Arts devs who worked on Dead Space, doing for Activision? Well, they're starting their own game studio, of course.

We already knew that, but now we have a name -- Sledgehammer Games. That's... a name, for sure. The team is already hard at work on a game, but obviously not saying much other than that "the titles needs the support of a strong publisher to make the game a success." A strong publisher like Activision, of course.  

I've no idea what their new game could be, if I'll be honest. But if the main character doesn't wield a sledgehammer and/or get a sledgehammer swung at him/her... well, that's a missed opportunity, I'd say.

They must also include Peter Gabriel's Seldgehammer for it to me maximum win.

"get in your seats maggots!"

Back when I used to think maggots was a curse word. Still, it is rather insulting. lol

I used to love that show! It's too bad it was short-lived. I hope their studio has better luck.

"A strong publisher like Activision, of course.".

By strong, you mean incredibly convoluted and greedy right?

Fuck you Bobby, fuck you.

I wouldnt crap on these guys just yet. Its not just Glen and Michael at sledgehammer...they took nearly all of the dead space team leads with them. EA is trying to keep it quiet but its not the same here anymore without those guys... that team was the strongest team ea had and if I had my way I'd be there with them...

No offense, but does anyone else smell money hats? Here we have two guys responsible for the *best new ip* of 2008 & now they make a new studio where they will be making *sequels* to current Activision ips? If extra 0's aren't involved, I don't know what is :)
