You'd be forgiven for thinking it's a bit gratuitous. After all, christening a game Wet when its main character is a big breasted, kick-ass female killer called Rubi who packs more weaponry than a Texan household, instantly sets the mind racing towards obvious, lower-region moistness gags and blatantly sexual marketing ploys. But you'd be wrong to be so hasty. You see, rather than being a mere excuse for developer A2M to pack enough polygons into a D-cup to make Lara feel inadequate, Wet is shaping up to be one seriously thrilling all-out action killfest with brains as well as bust and enough imaginative features to have Ms. Croft and a certain Persian royal casting nervous glances over their slender shoulders.
Nick writes: "WET was a pretty cool experimental project; a mixture of Stranglehold and Max Payne with a bullet-time mechanic and 70’s china-town movie style."
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".
"certain Persian"... Seriously, does anyone know what's the name of Prince?
Back to topic, the game looks to be borrowing to many features from other games but it's blood violent and looks kinda like "Kill Bill" so I'm getting it whenever it comes out.
They better space game releases out more in 08 than they did this year, because there's a lot of stuff coming out next year that I want. This became one months ago. I hope they give us more freedom over the swordplay though. I was hoping for something like a mix between the Gunslinger/Trickster/Swordmast er styles in DMC3 only with one character simultaneously. With a deep enough combat system it might be able to satiate me until DMC4.
Wet is basically the most stupid name ever on a videogame, seriously, what they were thinking on?
Also, it looks horribly generic.
Looks silly and boring to me. Nothing new and the art direction scks.
Great idea. Read about it last month. Hope it works out well.
