The Bizarre Creations team not working on the next PGR is ready to take the wraps off their upcoming Sega game, The Club. Not to be confused with the car theft deterrent of the same name, Bizarre's The Club is a third person action shooter that strives to be a audio-visual showcase for next-gen consoles.

While no screens or in-game video has leaked yet, Bizarre did give members of the press a look at the tech behind the game, as well as a quick hands-off playthrough. So what's so great about The Club that'll put your surround sound system to the test? EXPLOSIONS! Duh. But how about some attention to detail?

The final demo is with Mathias Grundwalt (Lead Sound Designer), who squeezed the group into his specially designed audio studio. He then proceeds to demonstrate all the different types of surfaces we have in the game, and how these affect the soundscape. For example, shooting a fabric sofa will sound much different to shooting a hollow metal container. But what if the bullet first passes through the sofa, and then hits the container at a slower rate? This demonstration really needs to be heard to be believed.

Neat. There's a promise of media and impressions to come, so hit up Bizarre's forums for further details. Michael McWhertor
