I especially liked the bit about the skies.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119934661023748815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15365158.post-15653836635643745902009-09-22T12:20:48.185-07:002009-09-22T12:20:48.185-07:00A potentially worthy successor to Carmageddon 2?
...<i>A potentially worthy successor to Carmageddon 2?</i><br /><br />From the looks of it, DoubleFine is mining and extending successful features from a whole host of games here (The Wind Waker, Pikman, Carmageddon, God of War, etc.) and tossing them all into one <i>very stylish</i> title. Hopefully nothing get's spread <b>too</b> thin and the <i>substance</i> of what's good about those features still rings true.<br /><br />Keep in mind that the game's lead is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Schafer" rel="nofollow">Tim Schafer</a>. Take a look at his resume and you'll understand why we should all be excited about this one.<br /><br />Here's the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7W864JuLsY" rel="nofollow"><i>Rock and Rule</i> inspired intro movie</a> for the game, which sets a nice "<a href="http://www.heavymetal.com/" rel="nofollow">Heavy Metal</a>: Now with more jaded fun + glowing skulls and less OCD about tits!" mood.Mr. Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578549098299300881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15365158.post-11786253534921867032009-09-20T19:31:57.851-07:002009-09-20T19:31:57.851-07:00A potentially worthy successor to Carmageddon 2? I...A potentially worthy successor to Carmageddon 2? It depends on how over-the-top it ends up being.<br /><br />There's an easy comparison to draw here with Cartoon Network's Metalocalypse. I think the cartoon can afford to be more absurd because it is not constrained by the continuities required by the sandbox-RPG.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119934661023748815noreply@blogger.com
