looks pretty nifty, but i'm not holding my beath if anything i expect it to relate to stranglehold like heavenly sword relates to god of war.

I hate the trailer...

The vocals are breathy and thin on that anemic version a usually great song by Johnny Cash.

The physics on that girl jumping around and shooting people just look really bad. Like hand animation almost. Still shots of the girl look nice, but the scenes in motion are really just piss poor.

I can't help but feel my intelligence and taste are being subtly, but unintentionally insulted by this game. And we want gameplay.

The game looks good, as does the chick (love the hair), bt I agree with you guys, I want to see gameplay. Sure, the video looks great, but what am I doing in the game? What is it about. Being a woman in a gamer's world....yeah, if I were a guy I'd buy the game no question most likely.

Not really a complaint, just an observation. Game looks pretty fun. And I do love Devil May Cry, so I'd prolly play it, considering it has similar feel.

And yeah for Johnny Cash<3

It's not a cover of Johnny Cash, it's a traditional folk song.

Moby did a version of it to: "Run On" on Play.

Didn't I read somewhere she's supposed to have a phobia of water? Doesn't seem what way with what I've seen so far. More a slight aversion to drowning.

FightingChance — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:40:38 MDT

I love the idea of a strong female heroine. So far, video games have not delivered on that idea, save for some rare examples.

Because men design the female lead, they endow her with male qualities. She is 'strong' like a man is strong. She is sexy like she is expected to be sexy.

I want it to be good...ohh do I want it to be good, BUT I know the odds are against it :( and it makes sense to have a female character in this game because of all the acrobatics. In today's society people always see females as being more acrobatic and moving than males. Seeing as how it's not a ninja or something similar that is :)

Please, please God, let this game be good. I'm so sick of games with female protagonists either sucking so much I want to kill myself (Bloodrayne), or is so great, no one buys it (Beyond Good and Evil, Primal, to a lesser extent of awesome). Pleeeeeease.

Also-- very cool song, at least.

its a cool trailer, but a trailer really doesnt mean much..

i'd like to see some gameplay from this game...

im not getting my hopes up until i see something new and amazing about this game.

simply having a female character and lots of action isnt enough to make a game great. although i hear heavenly sword turned out alright... but its no god of war.

like albo says, the song is not originally by johnny cash. its a traditional song thats been redone by many different folks. including cash, Elvis presley and Moby.

as far as the game is concerned. i'll just wait to till we get some gameplay impressions before i make any judgment.

@Mansteak: There already is a gamne named "Wet - The Sexy Empire". You sort of are a porn producer and have to do all you can to make your star Lula happy.

Despite how ridiculous the premise sounds, it actually was a good game and played like a cross over of Theme Park, The Movies and Leisure Suit Larry.

Slick! I will be watching this game with great interest, now.

and on a side note ... am I the only one who finds it odd that one of Kotaku's ad sponsors is for Urine Removal, are we really the demographic for that? But it did make me giggle that I saw the ad link for it on a "Wet" article. hee hee ^_^

Donner, party of 4... er...3? — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:00:07 MDT

Okay, ahhh... Sierra, who brought you Leisure Suit Larry is publishing a game called "WET" starring a "bad ass chick with huge juggs and guns and a sword" that was developed by "A2M"?

Is it April Fool's Day again already? They might as well have made it a LL spin off, leave everything the same, but instead of "Rubi" say it's "Passionate Patti" (or whoever the fuck) and at least let people think that it's more parody than just unimaginative developers. Gah.

Mongoosekun — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:46:19 MDT

The music was pretty horrible, and made the trailer seem more cheap. The MGS3 fanmade video to that song from the Punisher was better than this. Also the pandering is maybe too much with the kanji on revolvers... it seems like something a kid would design while bored in a High School math class. They could have at least used the now media popular HK, which is more practical. Not impressed, but good luck to them anyway. ^^

@PapaBear434:

It was the pitch and tone of the vocals that gave it issues imho.

Stylistically it looks cool, and if they did a ten minute movie short based around this, I would probably watch it.

Unique78 — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:15:13 MDT

Um.... From this FMV video that shows no gameplay, I take it that the graphics are not going to be awsome, the gameplay will feature really stupid badguys that can't shoot worth shit.
Common stupid developers. This video could have been a lot more cooler if some bullets actually grazed her and she was covered in blood and wounds at the end of the fight. The hero's that have an easy time of things is not what a good game makes. Have the hero make it so they are tired and injured after killing a MILLION people... sheesh...

Actually most of American V was covers. He didn't write the song. It's been covered by dozens of other people. It's a folk song.

His version was better than this though.

Blah.
How many damn games have we seen like this? Not just the girl, and the guns, and the sword mind you. The slow motion action, the fancy walk-walkin', the grungy lookin' atmosphere and a whole bunch of dudes she has to kill for some bullshit reason all smashed into one craptastic clusterfuck of a game that will come out to either:
A)Piss poor reviews, and people will still by it for Teh BeWbieZ.
B)Awesome reviews, which are obviously paid for to make the game sell better causing people to purchase it hoping it's a good game. Instead, all they get is Teh BeWbieZ. And not very good ones, at that.

Yes, we need ANOTHER cookie-cutter game.

Polluted — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 10:03:45 MDT

I hate this trend of game trailers that have nothing to do with actual gameplay. Based on this trailer, what do we actually know about the game? It could easily be an RPG...or like a puzzle game. The trailer for the new Final Fantasy had just as much action as this one did. If the game isn't graphically at the point where they can release a trailer with some in game stuff, maybe they should wait a while.
Complaints aside, I do dig a chick with tattoos.

terry2070 — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 10:03:42 MDT

It looks fantastic but I will beat the dead horse with what I always say, it isn't aimed at kids, so why not make it an adult game (R Rated content) and show nudity for the same audience that sees R Rated movies.

We have such a weird standard for rating video games. An R Rated movie can have explicit sex scenes and nudity and Hostel level violence but if there is extended nudity in a game it gets an Adults Only rating. I'll buy this game if there is an extended shoot out scene right after this bathing scene where she kills a hundred henchmen naked but not until!
