Rubi, star of Wet, isn't the kind of gal you'd want to piss off. Not because she'd tenderise your pet rabbit with a spade then pop it into a pressure cooker just because you haven't called her for a couple of days, but because she's a guns-first femme fatale who makes Lara look like a nun. A mercenary, Rubi's been double-crossed by one of her clients and now she's very, very annoyed...
So begins Wet, an action-adventure that's placing a heavy emphasis on both combat and plot (the latter of which is being penned by Duppy Demetrius, of 24 fame). It's a formula that Wet's developer A2M believes will have the likes of Lady Croft quaking in her hotpants. Keen to find out more, CVG headed to their Montreal offices for some hands-on time with this hottie.
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".
2008 is going to be an awesome year for games, I almost forgot about this one. This and Prototype should prove to be very valuable to Sierra's lineup. I'm hoping I can pull off the moves from the trailer though, I went to the Devil May Cry school of action gaming I can pull it off.
called Wet?
xD
i gotta see more...sounded cool i guess.
Nice screens but I think they should have said "Lara meets Prince of Persia".
The Bride and Max Payne had a baby and sent her to Persia for acrobatics training.
