Yep, Fifty and the G Unit are back. The follow up to 50 Cent: Bulletproof, the educational shoot 'em up in which the rapper took on a criminal organization out to get him, is known as 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. According to the MTV reveal on the Vivendi-published, Swordfish Studios-developed title, the details of whom 50 and his G's will be shooting at are still super secret. We know 50's going somewhere sandy, bringing AI and player controlled buddies with him and that Formula 50 Vitamin Water and bottles of bub will most likely be consumed.
MTV has eight exclusive screens of Mr. Cent's sandy adventure, currently planned for the Fall, which actually look quite nice. There's no shortage of details on the game, said to be a "Three Kings' meets 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'" crime story, which you'll find linked below.

Awesome. I think I'll call it "Beach Blanket Bulletproof" from here on out.
Here is a game that I could care less about... meh c'est la vie
They might be serious this time.
That is some awesome arm rendering. Look at those bulging veins! He's a coronary waiting to happen.
why?
I can hear the XBOX LIVE talk now...
"Yea, I be a real gangsta. Whad up tho. For realz, son."
"...what?"
"Hold up, dawg. MOM, GET ME SOME CHOCOLATE MILK! I'LL CLEAN MY ROOM LATER! I HATE YOU! Aight, sorry. Fuckin' mom and school n' shit."
*The other player has left the game.*
Ugh. Wow. Fiddy Cent in what looks to be the Middle East. Shame this couldn't actually happen.
Fail. The game is going to suck.
It's like a gorilla simulator, but with handguns instead of bananas.
Oh boy, I can't wait to not play this game.
Looks like the PS3 finally gets its killer app.
"50 Cent". hmmm... maybe he should call himself "2 Dollar Whore" instead. Seriously, this shit is more repugnant than Mr. T cereal.
@Manok: Much like how youre a douche simulator minus the water and vinegar. Why dont you turn your Doleran around and head back to a time when calling black men "gorillas" was high concept comedy.
I much prefer smoky water to bloody sand.
50 should put it out the same day as Gears of War 2 or Resistance 2 and bet that it will outsell the other game. Now that would be entertainment!
@Manok:
i bought a manok simulator recently and it came with a white sheet and a flamable cross.
@Dioxen:
Looks like now you can blame fitty for when your xbox bricks.
I prefer Michael Jackson's Moonwalker over this, any time.
@Modus_Operandi: G-Unit= Gorilla Unit.
Game of the Year nominee, I think so. The sad part is 50 netted $400 Million off the Vitamin Water acquisition.
Assistant: "Mr. President we can't win this war in Iraq!"
George: "For God sakes son! Send in 50 cent and the G Unit!"
Play as 50 cent as you bust caps and rap your way to glory in Iraq. Towel heads beware there's a new decider in town.
50 cent: "What chu mean I can't drink my forty here!?"
Coming this Fall.
Holy shit the levels of fail that are emanating from this "game" is off the chart.
I think now humanity no longer deserves to exist when fucking 50 is going to the middle east to take out terrorists.
I gladly look forward to a nuclear holocaust where that piece of shit with his ridiculously retard games (and speech) are no longer hurting the very existence of space/time itself.
@Azrial:
Hm. I certainly could care less to. In fact, I think I will. There, now I couldn't care less about it.
""When 50 was onsite at Vivendi with Tony Yayo, one of the things they challenged us to do was introduce new elements of gameplay in the game," Blean said. "Instead of having them always running and gunning, they wanted something that would break the pace of that." So "Blood on the Sand" will include vehicle missions such as a driver-and-turret-gunner Humvee road chase and a helicopter-borne shootout, in which 50 and his ally "rain death from above" onto enemies in a city.
I don't know what's more pathetic: that the developers knew they were going to create a mediocre run-and-gun title from the get go, or that the rappers themselves are being credited with "challenging" them to implement variety in the first place.
I like some of their music, but is this really necessary?
*shakes head*
@slomo788: If you think that his comment was inconspicous and was relating to that then I have a piece of the Brooklyn Bridge I want to sell you.
I really hope they don't try to tie this in with the Middle East and the War on Terror. That would be incredibly tasteless.
"50 Cent defeats the terrorists! 50 Cent saves America!"
Of course, I'm speculating wildly. He could be in Miami for all we know.
But the "Three Kings" bit makes me nervous.
Manok won't be getting back to you.
@slomo788: That's "Guerrilla Unit", unless you're making some other sort of statement.
Those screens are awesome! It means this game will STAY on that old xbox!
. . . . . . .
It better.
@Manok: What time is your meeting with the Imperial Wizard?
This must be "Turban Warfare".
It was discussed in the original thread.
@Nex Antonius: "I can hear the XBOX LIVE talk now...

Edit post: "I can hear the ONLINE talk now"
I hear the same redundant ingorant crap on PSN as well as LIVE...I guess I just get tired of people turning a blind eye to it not happening on any other system.
/short rant end
G-G-G-G-G-G-FAIL
who needs the army when we can send 50 cent and Gunit to find bin laden
@DragonSphere: Of course it is. Bulletproof is the worst game that sadly, didn't flop.
@Nex Antonius: ahaha thats gold!
Seriously though Fiddy, your like the fucking microsoft paperclip, nobody likes you, GO AWAY.
@figurhead: NOBDODY DISSES MR.T'S CEREAL FOOL!
@Manok: I love when fucking racists figure out how to operate the keyboard.
It is really a shame that your mom was raped by your granddad/dad and you were shit out of her womb.
@Manok: *looks at profile*
Ok who stole my kill?
After seeing the screens:
Jesus Christ, the Middle East? 50 is going to go fight terrorists in nothing but jeans and a mere bullet proof jacket? This is just laughably bad. You know, I didn't realize being a former gangsta equips you with the skills necessary to fight heavily armed guerrilla combatants. And I'm pretty sure Hata Blockas don't stop bullets too.
@Michael McWhertor: Confirmed ban? I hope so...that comment made me really sad.
I know this news is gaming related but can you just not report it? I mean, you (McWhertor)probably don't give a shit about this game like the other 99% of the Kotaku readers. I feel this game degrades the site just by talking about. It's fucking shitty cash in.

Too bad it wasn't cancelled as originally reported.
@Manok: way to inject a crappy thread with racism, good show.
Is it too late to make a "Game of the Year 08!" joke?
@ProfWho: Good show. Way to set an example, my good man!
:|
Great, 50 Cent's doing with the movie what Madonna did with Guy Ritchie...
@Michael McWhertor: Thank God for small favors. I wasnt trying to start a flame war but Jesus its enough to deal with this crap on XBL let alone come here and have someone think its cool to post somethig stupid like that.
This game is going to fail from a gamers persepective, but just like Hannah Montana games inconcievably go on to sell millions because of rabid fans so will this game. And yes I just equated 50 to Hannah Montana.
@Modus_Operandi: I thought it was a racist comment too at first but then I wanted to believe that no one at Kotaku is that stupid. Guess I'm really gullible. So... about that piece of bridge?
@Michael McWhertor: Really? Lol I'm Haitian so there's no reason I'd be making that "other" kind of statement. Well I guess that bullet in his jaw really fucked his speech up...
@slomo788: That is not what was meant and you know it.
@Witzbold: LOL!
@Girbun: Obviously, some people care if the original sold over a million. Plus, we're getting plenty of ban fodder! Success!
@Witzbold:
Hahah, that was awesome Witzbold.
@Nex Antonius: Sorry if my oringnal reply seemed short, I didn't overlook your play at humor and I should have taken your post as such and not posted anything at all.
:/
@Erwin: According to Joystiq or its link to MTV ( I can't remember), 50 will be fighting "international gangsters," not terrorists. Sigh...I thought we finally found an end to this war.
@ProfWho: Read my comment to Modus. I'm Black myself and there's no reason for me to defend a racist. I just wanted to believe that it WASN'T a racist comment.
@marissa_melee:
Dont play online games then...you may get depressed =p
...and no one cared.
@scotty: True, I let my temper get the best of me. My bad.
It's great to see that not only are there idiots that actually want this game somewhere, but there's people that are even more stupid that really don't want it.
I hope this game bombs. certain people just shouldn't make video games. maybe if it was an MMO
@Michael McWhertor: @Michael McWhertor: Are you fucking serious? A million? My god...
@Witzbold: You can always un-ban him and then ban him again...that'll teach him a double lesson!
@slomo788: Yeah, I just saw that. Understandable that you would hope someone wouldn't really say something like that.
@marissa_melee: "international gangsters"?
O snap this shit just got real yo.
