NextGen Player Exclusive: 8 Minutes of WET Gameplay

NextGen Player writes:

"While the publishing fate of WET (360/PS3) remains in limbo, developer A2M from Montreal is still proceeding with their hot gun-totting action game WET.

A2M Senior Artistic Technical Director, David Lightbown, presented an exclusive 8 minute video of WET gameplay at MIGS 2008 and NextGen Player was given special permission to record the clip.

After watching the video I think you'll agree with me that Activision made a poor choice dropping this game. This game looks hot."

never a2m

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Lol.

[Cwalat]

looks kinda good.. it's not a finished product..
but overall.. yeah..

the gaming business could need a female "stranglehold" type of game...

[MK_Red]

Would you rather look at Chow Yun Fat in slow mo or a sexy lady? Plus, it looks more fun than Stranglehold. It has more like Tomb Raider meets Max Payne with near infinite Bullet-time. Seriously, I hated it how in Stranglehold the slo-mo bar would depleteso fast.

[thewhoopimen]

Where's the challenge though if the bullet-time doesn't deplete MK? I would think that the game would lose its fun, if it played like you were in god mode all the time. but I'm not you so maybe you can elaborate a bit :)

[Ju]

A so much more improved "Lara" gets ruined by Stranglehold...

[poopsack]

another stranglehold/matrix?

[LokMessier]

not to sure what to say, looks okay, but I don't think it will really kept me as interested.

Why is it titled WET >_>...?

[N4M3L355]

Wet, as in wet work, or killing people/assassination.

[LokMessier]

For some reason the name just doesn't seem to flow with what the gameplay should, though being that I don't know the story it probably isn't helpful either.

[smurfie4]

So this is max payne with breasts? I think I'll pass.

[RememberThe357]

The animations are stiff, like a PS game. I think it would make a huge difference if they made the animations more fluid.

[gameforall]

I agree, the animation makes it look like a "Last Gen" game

[drumega]

...of dual gun totting action games. I'm looking forward to seeing when a publisher picks this up and puts it out. Looks like a cool game.

[MK_Red]

Am I the only one who liked watching this vid? I mean, it looks kinda fun AND the most important thing is that: It has infinte Slo-mo as far as I can tell.

In most games like Stranglehold, the bullet time could only be used for a few seconds and after that we had to kill lots of enemies but here, she is basically killing everyone in slo-mo. It feels like a more arcade version of Max Payne... And that's always a good thing in my book.
Hope it finds a publisher soon.

[Skerj]

I've wanted this since it was announced along with Brutal Legend, I'm glad it's going to see the light of day.

[n1n9tean]

Looks sucks.

[devilhunterx]

I rather get WANTED

[ShAkKa]

agree

[TOO PAWNED]

Max Payne/stranglehold/generic time bullet/who gives a s..t/looks like insides of my a..........

[lordgodalming]

I have to agree with you. Even on a small screen the character models looked like sheit. If it's early enough in development for even the main character to look last-gen, maybe hold off on showing it to the public.

And whoever was playing used bullet-time EVERY TIME they shot at someone. When I compare this footage to other 2009 releases, WET seems, well, pretty dry.

[Lombax]

The most lethal weapon in a rockers arsenal.

I definitely like the style (mainly the narration part at the end) and the game play looks fun. (Key word "looks")

[RememberThe357]

lol

[DiabloRising]

Activision is on my sh1t list for companies. Their support is poor and they don't want any quality franchises unless they can totally milk and dilute it by making it an annual money grubber. Pathetic.

I was looking forward to WET as one of those awesome out of no where titles, like I hope Rise of the Argonauts to be, and what Dead Space was. Lame.

Pity Brutal Legend is now suffering the same fate.

[MGRogue2017]

This is exactly what we need!!

Or maybe a Next-Gen Max Payne!

[Polluted]

It's stylish enough, but it looks like kind of a crappy version of Stranglehold to me. Maybe if the video wasn't so crappy it would be easier to judge.

[candystop]

Looks good but I really hope they add some cool sword play in there and not just the typical slash your dead crap.

[Cajun Chicken]

I never knew Activision dropped this game.

...Idiots.

[GarlicBread]

Looks pretty decent. Kind of reminds me of kill bill.

[snipermk0]

The game looks plenty gay.

[ofx360]

Poop

[Graphics Whore]

I think I will pass, the game looks rudimentary right now, I can see why Activision dropped them. Over saturation in the market is another possible factor why they weren't picked up.

[DA_SHREDDER]

ugh

[GCO Gamer]

WOW better then I was hoping, so why they drop it?

[Reshun]

I have a feeling this game might end up with a score somewhere around 7/10

[Cyber Gamer]

after watching it i must say no buy for me don't like Max Payne kind of games

[jkhan]

Reminds me of Stranglehold.

[Radiodread]

for the masters at bullet time. Rockstar's MAX PAYNE 3.

[cyclindk]

The Path of Neo from PS2 - bullet-time, wall run, slo-mo jump dive action with God of War button smash door openers...?! Right?

[micro_invader]

Looks like it could get boring after a while. I agree with the people above me, the animation does look very stiff, although that's probably because it's very early in development.

[mastiffchild]

Dull as dishwater. No wonder it got pushed by Activision cos it' s odull. Her walking/running animations look like bloody Dino-Crisis FFS!And they were poor for PS1. Plus it doesn't so much"borrow" dfrom Stranglehold as commit highway robbery on it. Rubbish-let it die nobody would play this over Woo's crime tps.
