'The' added to Pandemic's The Saboteur, site launched photo

While approving and proofreading last month's exclusive interview with Pandemic's Tom French about their upcoming The Saboteur, I ran into a problem. Wasn't the game just called Saboteur? Where did this "the" come from? And why does the official Web site still call it simply Saboteur?

Pandemic assured us they had added "The" to the title, and we didn't argue. Now it's confirmed with the relaunch of the game's official Web site, complete with a fancy Flash-based menu and thunder sounds. The site allows you to sign up for "The Resistance," an online community for the title, which will likely be the first source for all things The Saboteur as the game nears its launch this year. 

Want to know more about the game? Check out that aforementioned interview; it's all education and stuff.

correct me if i'm wrong isn't this the same "Saboteur" that previously was black and white with only the color red visible in screenshots. i like that alot better it gave the game style.

Apparently, everything starts out black and white, but changes to color once you weaken the German's power in that area.

Having "a" saboteur means there is a bunch of saboteur saboteuring. Not much attention is paid to the player since your not unique. However putting "The" means their is only one saboteur. And plus it sounds cool. We all know the difference between a vault dweller and The Vault Dweller, right?

Name change or not, this looks intriguing.

idiots, don't they know that adding 'the' to the front of something is so 90's? if what StriderS says is true though, that's fucking badass.

It's very possible that they added "The" to the name to avoid conflict with the card game called Saboteur, which could possibly mean that it's in development for XBLA.... At least, I hope it is. That game fucking kicks ass.

I am sorry,But after Mercenaries 2 and with all the problems,bugs and Glitches,and non working trophies/acheivements,and seeing their track record on ignoring people when they are asked to fix their game and they refuse to do ANYTHING about it,I will NOT buy/rent/steal/or play anything made by Pandemic,They are the most untalented,selfish,lazy,Unreliable game developers,And can not be trusted,I seriously hope people don't buy any of their games,As they will only get a crappy,Glitched/bugged game that they will not fix,All they will do is throw out some DLC for a price and not fix anything..STAY AWAY FROM PANDEMIC GAMES!
