Pirates? Ninjas? Dodgeball? It's gotta be good right? No clue, but at least it looks interesting.
The XBL Arcade title is set to hit later this month and will include a single player story mode, exhibition mode for single a multiplayer and up to eight player online play.

UGh stupid movie autoplays. annyoing.
pop culture milking ftw
Bah! They are just trying to cash in on our stupid internet memes! *pets Domokun plush*
Yeah i wondered what was going on. Then i scrolled back up. Now its playing again
Dodgeball? Isn't there supposed to be a center line and two sides? That looks more like rugby, or maybe a mugging. Kinda hard to tell what's going on.
WTF? Since when have samurai been ninjas?
Zombies? Old men?
I'm lost.
"Pirates? Ninjas? Dodgeball? It's gotta be good right? "
No.
It's PIRATES versus..NINJAS!!! What a wacky situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the company is called GAMECOCK
They must be some crazy funny dudes
The autoplay is obnoxious. OBNOXIOUS, I TELL YOU.
Look for the sequel Cake vs Pie PingPong next year.
I love movies that play automatically. Especially ones about shitty games like pirate dodgeball.
If only there were a pause button!!!!
Try flashblocker. I just get a box with an f on it that I can click to activate the control if I want. In this case I don't want.
I was like WTF is that sound? lol
It's too late to pause when everyone in the office is looking at you funny when some crazy ninja pirate dodgeball video starts blaring out of the speakers.
Eh... This looks mildly entertaining....
Danger! Danger!
High voltage!
@ The photo of the chick sprite with glowy boobs.
I'll take Ninjas FTW!!!
Snakes on a Plane.
I wish they'd just release an HD remake of that NES Super Dodgeball game.
Glad I have my office computer muted (I'm at lunch, pacific time).
Oh, and after seeing all those Capcom games, this game just looks awful...
I laughed just looking at the stills....yes, I will download the full game.
And I also agree with Gray665.....
TRON (influcened) LEVEL! AWESOME!
Um am I the only one that saw this and thought why the hell are ninjas and pirates playing dodge ball? And if not then am I the only one STILL wondering it?
It's not that good. Gameplay's a little shallow for my taste. Of course it's a live arcade game so I probably shouldn't be so harsh.
Using Opera and I don't have any problems with autoplay.
If it's called Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, then why include Zombies and Robots?
Thanks for fixin the movie Brian!
See, I open a bunch of headlines I'd like to read into multiple tabs, and after I've finished with a page or two of headlines, I scan my tabs. You realize how fucking annoyed I was attempting to find that 2nd video for Mushroom Men? The music continued in the same damn loop for 15 minutes. ().() ARRRG! Go back to non-auto-play trailers!!!
this game looks like a retarded cash in.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the robots having gender.
I hop that they actually make the different types of classes significantly different to play as - although I doubt they will...
Cyber Ninja? WTF?
Is he a robot or is he a ninja?
Whats next, Undead Sea Captain?
not going to lie.. that looks fucking retarded.
i can see this maybe appealing if your 9 years old. anyone older, and i have some seriously questions about your taste in games.
What? Did someone think Pirates vs. Zombies vs. Robots vs. Ninjas dodgeball was too long a title? It doesn't look very good one way or another...
Sometimes a game's content is so obvious, you are allowed to jump to accurate conclusions without having played it:
* Characters stagger about the landscape in canned animations that don't quite look connected to the gameworld! The control will feel vaguely unsatisfying!
* You'll never be able to precisely target others in the 3D space. Every shot that isn't point blank will be a hail-mary. Or, heaven help us, there will be lock-on, so it will play like a GTA III shootout. All bad news.
* It's... zzz... dodgeball. And it doesn't even look like real dodgeball, to boot.
* Doesn't this look a heck of a lot like their other game, Hail to the Chimp (sorry, Wideload, but why not Stubbs 2?). So we have two Power Stclones inbound from the Cocks?
* Add what's already been confirmed: soulless supersaturated cartoon graphics, lazy art direction, canned cartoon sound, and... well, acceptable music.
Much the way movie buffs can review bad movies by their trailers... we know games well enough to know exactly what to expect from this game, and it's not good.
Proud to jump to accurate conclusions!
This looks awful. I predict a short life for Gamecock.
About the only thing it's missing is a team of Samuel L. Jacksons.
@Cloral: Unfortunately, not everyone uses Firefox so those people do not have that option.
Where's the pokemons?
Zombies and robots too? Neato.
8 player online play? Big plus.
Now about the gameplay... looks kinda boring. I would expect the ball to rocket across the screen, with pirates and ninjas flying everywhere. Instead, ball is slow and bouncy. Player control seems slow.
I am expecting a lot of goofy sounding stuff.
Well it ain't fair to judge based on a game I haven't played, but I just did. So there.
Is it just me or does this look terrible?
I don't know why this is getting so much coverage... oh wait, people LOVE pirates and ninjas... no matter how awful the game, the premise, or the developer are.
I, for one, have not played a good Dodgeball game since Super Dodgeball. So, if they can make a fun Dodgeball game and it just so happens to have Ninjas and Pirates.. that's cool. But when your entire game is dodgeball... I have my doubts of it being good.
This is even more disappointing than when they said that their Pirates and Ninjas game would be a dodgeball game, removing much of what makes Pirates and Ninjas cool. I see they've added Zombies and Robots, as those are also popular memes, but they also seem kind of bland. Zzzzzzzz...
It really seems like they decided to make some sort of kiddy dodgeball game engine first, then decided to use Pirates/Ninjas/Zombies/Robots later to help move team and level design. It could just as well be police/cowboys&indians/firemen/army&navy, with construction workers as the secret bonus team, and I think the game would feel more or less the same.
@wef:
No, I can see how terrible it is..
@edb87: By that age they're already dead.
