Nightmare Mode reports on Hard Reset's launch window and marketing campaign.
"Marketing video games must be a bitch of a job. In most cases you’re targeting the coveted 18-39 male demographic, and video game culture being what it is, the audience is going to absolutely abhor you should you misrepresent or over-hype the game in the slightest. Moreover, there aren’t too many success stories you can use as a reference point – for me, at least, when I think of game PR campaigns, I think of John Romero promising to make everyone his bitch, Dead Space 2 being sold as a game your mom’s going to hate, the fake fundamentalists protesting Dante’s Inferno at E3, and the impossibility of Duke Nukem being worth 13 years of development hell. Even fanboy favorite Valve copped abuse for their Portal 2 Potato Sack ARG which saw the game released on Steam 10 hours early.
Flying Cow Studios hope that Hard Reset will avoid all that."
First Flying Wild Hog's game, Hard Reset, is coming to PS4. Watch 9 minutes of exclusive console gameplay from Poznań Game Arena. With enhanced engine and new weapon - katana from Shadow Warrior! Release date is not yet known, but game looks superb!
WOW Hard Reset!!!? Remembering playing this game years ago on my PC never finish it thou, cause it was very buggy still lots of particle effects and pretty looking I hope that gets intact.
update: some particles effects are missing still game the looks freaking awesome, with correct price definitely will get this :D
Gameplay definitely looks dated but priced right as a PSN title it could provide a brief distraction.

Oh damn... I forgot this is coming to PS4. Awesome.
Played this on PC couple of years ago. Definitely lots of fun!
DSOGaming writes: "A couple of days ago, we had the pleasure of interviewing Flying Wild Hog, creator of Shadow Warrior and Hard Reset. Flying Wild Hog shared with us some details about its future plans, next-gen consoles, the CPU issues that were present in Shadow Warrior PC, its opinion about Mantle and OpenGL, as well as the release of mod tools for Shadow Warrior, its intention to move it to 64bit and some tech info about the Road Hog Engine."
Shadow Warrior was an unexpected treat last year for PC gamers. I may go ahead and get it for PS4 anyway just to support these guys.
Flying wild hog are amazing devs with great consumer attitude... pretty much the exact opposite of EA then.
Shadow Warrior was hands down the best shooter last year. If you don't have a PC that can run it and have a ps4 or xbox one, buy this game. Support the devs and enjoy an amazing shooter with a surprisingly interesting story
This was such a good remake. I picked it up on a steam sale for less than $20. I didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I did. I would suggest you play this game. Its fun, funny, and full of Wang! I also suggest you check out Hard Reset. It was really good too.
Also bought it cheap because I appreciated the topical jabs at cod and bf in the trailer.
It's a fun game, but I doubt even the devs would say it was "one of the best looking games in 2013".
It looked good without a doubt. But no, not the best looking. Who said it was the best looking anyway?
SteamFirst: Hard Reset is a sci-fi FPS developed by indie studio Flying Wild Hog. Not only has this developer managed to pack this game full of beautiful textures and effects, but it is also a ton of fun. Hard Reset aims to bring you back to 1993 when the classic game Doom won the hearts of millions of gamers. The game is a wonderful mix of modern technology and classic FPS style gameplay found in other modern games such as Serious Sam. Hard Reset is an easy game to recommend and only faults in its poor story telling and long loading times.
Ex Cd projekt devs are part of this so I already care!
