WET is one part Kill Bill and one part Sin City. With a female heroine running around with a katana and handguns it really does look like Beatrix Kiddo in video game format.
The games title alone conjures ideas of a late night Skin-emax show that adolescent boys stay up to watch or some raunchy pay-per-view adult programming. Whatever sells, right?
The stylistic "rage" mode showcased is definitely a nice touch (right along with others like Okami and yesterday's mentioned The Saboteur). Hopefully they can clean up the combat a good deal otherwise this one's going to get lost along with the countless Ninja Gaiden clones out there. Ninja Blades...? A good decision that would really help move this one off the shelves would be severable body parts and a lot more blood spray. There clearly isn't enough spray factor here.

There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
Is the largely forgotten, 2009 game Wet worth a second look? Miguel Penabella considers the game in relation to grindhouse films and the phenomenon of the "B-game".
