Quantcast



Ubisoft's not the only publisher who can bring its games (Assassin's Creed 2) to life. Electronic Arts has just released two live action videos set in the world of Pandemic's The Saboteur

Both spots are surprisingly high quality, although neither tell you a damned thing about the game. Nope, there's not a bit of gameplay footage in either of the two videos. For that, you might have to rely on Brad Nicholson's "Ten Minute Taste," where he proved he can't drive a car worth a damn. It's all of those muscles -- they're hindering his fine motor skills. 

The second spot is after the jump, and features an explosion and a moaning woman. Those watching at work, you've been warned.

Cool but a version of the Saboteur actually working with ATI cards would be more appreciated :§ Still can't play the f***ing thing.

The ads seem to imply WII, Nazis, violence and sex. Well it's good that EA isn't leaving it totally out there to die.

It's sad how EA has the money to do this but fired Pandemic anyway.

Quite cool :D

But they would have been better showing the Saboteur at actual work, you know so you can see what you can do in the game? I suppose there is a shortage of Irish Spider-mans though.

@ParaParaKing
I think Pandemic folded on their own, more than from any outside influence. EA are a publisher, but leave the running of a company up to the actual developer. Because they were the publishers, they had first dibs on what was left of the company.

I'm a couple missions away from beating the game but now I have to decide if the completionist in me is psycho enough to try and bomb the few hundred targets I have left to get all the achievements.

Jim was right in that it is very much fun. It is clunky, and I think a lot of reviewers focus on that because they grade on a mass-market experience factor, but when you get right down to it the game oozes class and is fun as hell to play and you can't ask for much more than that.

This. It's a fucking blast and I love it more every time I play it. And it's nowhere near as clunky as reviews led me to believe. Also, these spots are cooler than a baby in a refrigerator. Yes.

I second...well, third...StingingVelvet's sentiments.

I thought Jim was nuts for giving it the score he gave, after having read several negative reviews. But I decided to trust Jim on this one, and it does not disappoint.

Also, boobies for the bonus.

Hahaha, in the first clip the germans actually talk grammatically correct german. I'm impressed they researched that. Normally it's german gibberish, or they get the articles wrong and stuff. Like that one simpsons episode called "Burns verkaufen der Kraftwerk"
To get back on topic, I hear it's a pretty good game, eh?
