Conrad from Destructoid writes "I don't mean to be such a dick tonight, but what is up with these images of the upcoming Bonk: Brink of Extinction? Now, I'll grant you, these aren't screenshots of the final product but it does not look good."
Bonk is one of video gaming's most unlikely mascots. Originally named PC Kid and seen as the PC Engine's lead character in Japan, he was renamed Bonk when that console was released in North America as the TurboGrafx-16. New footage has now appeared of the game in action, and it's surprisingly polished for an unreleased project.
Meat is the most valuable natural resource on Earth. We put it in our bodies and convert it into energy to do very important things. All of our best friends are made out of it and our skeletons live inside of it. Some of the first creative acts committed by humans, neolithic cave paintings, were depictions of the hunt and the animal to be consumed.
We are still addressing meat now in the current dominant medium, the video game. Let’s unpack some of the ways that popular gaming has used meat and take a look how it has been utilized through the lens of some more obscure titles.
Destructoid:
Once upon a time, where was a Bonk game planned for WiiWare, XBLA and the PSN called Bonk: Brink of Extinction. Hudson Soft decided to scrap development when the 2011 earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, presumably because the game actually involved a natural disaster.
Well, things like this happen. Out of respect for the natural disaster that struck...the game gets canned. Similar thing happend to propeller arena on the dreamcast. Out of respect for 9/11 the game was canned as well.
Now what I find odd about this vid is why the camera is so far back from the screen. Zoom can be your friend if you are trying to show off the onscreen action.
I read the first line and thought it said "I don't mean to suck a dick tonight"
agreed, it looks like a cheapo ps1 title. 2D, hand drawn art or gtfo.
