    Sooo, will they actually publish a decent game this time, or just act like assholes at the SpikeTV game awards without ever walking the talk again?


    It's interesting to see game makers who start failed company after failed company and somehow are able to continue doing so. Personally I hear anything about anyone formerly associated with Gamecock and I just sorta assume they're shady... don't think that's the sort of brand recognition I they'd want to have.


    Even for a B-level XBLA publisher...

    Its amazing these guys keep getting investment capital. They must have some extremely talented bullshitters on their staff, which somehow continue to attain ridiculous amounts of money to allow these guys to create businesses that ultimately fail after publishing several crappy games while most of the investment money is blown on parties, fancy offices and etc.


    How the fuck do they stay in business? I suspect Mob ties. Perhaps they can get in bed with Running With Scissors and their sleazebag CEO, to produce something truly awful.

    I don't think I'd want to mention the company that was responsible for those two horrible shooters. I can't even remember what they were called, but one was WW2 rewritten, and one was greek myths and major cities.

    AJ, you lost me when you implied that Assassin's Creed's Lonely Soul trailer sucked.


    The one video sold me on both the game, and on UNKLE, of whom until then, I did not even know existed.


    So question. Does every game trailer that licenses a song to play in the background, equal Gears of War Mad World rip off to you? Judging by your comments, it just seems that way. Me personally, since so many movies and games advertise themselves in said fashion, I never really saw the direct connection.

    I'm interested about the story that ties this game together. If they can really deliver on her death bed flash-backs like this video hints at (and it isn't just cleverly cut) then this can be a raw and powerful experience.

    Does killing heavily armed people with knives when silenced pistols exist make you hardcore? does crawling around nazi territory in an entirely "overused" setting that everybody who's played multiple WW2 games has completely landscaped in their mind what every square inch of germany looks, that looks about the same make a game new, or fresh? Does making the Protagonist a crazy murderer sound like a "new" story for a WW2 game? or any war game ever for that matter? or even for any murderer ever?? this game really reeks of deja vu, and not the good deja vu, this is the same as any other WW2 game, except this one has a girl protagonist(who isnt all that hot IMO), which i'm not even sure is a new idea for WW2 games, as there are at least 1000 of them, she uses a knife, which again was probably done before, it's 3rd person(done before), she's mentally unstable, but the thing i think might be new is that it doesnt focus on head on shooting, but sneaking(but i might be wrong, it couldve been done for a WW2 game before), and even then, that doesnt make the idea of it any more enticing, it doesnt even make it a good thing. it might be a lot more boring than your average WW2 game, and those are boring enough, if you must make a war game, make it based on the contemporary war and toss as many middle eastern steryotypes in there as you can, and then you've got a fresh title, right kojima and 50 cent?

    But seriously wall of text... and all I see is a huge amount of bitching. You could have said the game was set in WWII and was unoriginal, but you go on and on and on desperately grasping for something.

    This looks like those god-awful videos people upload to youtube all the time. You know, the ones where they take random clips from some anime they fantasize over and add some teenage "THIS IS HOW I FEEL" music over it.

    What's wrong with the Assassin's Creed 'Lonely Souls' trailer? That trailer was fucking awesome! I still watch that thing from time to time, and always get depressed that Assassin's Creed is nowhere near as good as it could have been.

    @ReconToaster.: I think he meant this Trailer was trying to be those two, badly.

    @Evdor: Gamecock is a publisher... they don't make the games you know. I think you should evaluate the game based on it's own merits rather then on what you think of the publisher... just a suggestion.

    I also really, really liked the Lost Odyssey 'White Rabbit' trailer, though I know it didn't jive with a lot of people.

    @Vorpal: I think it was Ashcraft that gave it the donkey-punch treatment (read: I think) and I joined in on the whole "kicking it while it was blind" thing to help increase his satisfaction when he decided to finish up with a Houdini! ... what was I talking about?





    ...oh right... in retrospect, it seems like a cool video and the sound seems refreshingly different. :)

    @pimpin_wolfie: And you probably couldve put some more fitting music to it as well. this video was going for a more "hardcore" look than the game is actually going to be. i can imagine walking up behind a nazi at .5mph from 50 feet away with no music at all, going through a 10 second cutscene of stabbing him and going to check a room for reconaissance or something.


    and a better title. "young"? wtf does that have to do with anything?
