If they have Malika doing the growling, I'm sold. (RB2 folks know her as the voice behind Abnormality's "Visions.")
looks totally shit. unfunny premise. pretentious "stylised" artwork. one of the characters is a cube and the rest suck too. also, "sexy team" = facepalm.jpg
really not to my taste i'm afraid, and this doesn't say much for harmonix as a developer of non "rock band" games.

@psycho terror2: Why would it say anything about Harmonix as a developer of non Rock Band games? Harmonix isn't even involved in this. It's people who used to work at Irrational and Harmonix, who have left to form their own studio.
I think it sounds fun. Too bad we only got a brief glimpse of the actual game within the teaser, hope to hear more about it in the future.

the animation and artwork itself looks poorly done to me, yet it's obviously supposed to be acceptable because it's "stylised". i don't buy it, it just looks crap and lazy to me.

I agree with psycho terror2. Looks fairly mediocre...
...also yeah, I pretty much immediately thought of a 9-11 stage.

This cracked me up. Looks like it has the potential for some great dark humor moments. Consider me interested.
@Psycho Terror2 -- We need more games like this. Spare us the vitriol and go pre-order Darksiders 2.
@Max Scoville: Well, Darksiders 2 looks like it's going to be cool too, but yeah, games like this are good. Fresh ideas, an art style that isn't realism + brown, and even if it isn't successful, at least they tried to do something different.
Gaming's very own South Park.
I'll wait for more on this, to see where the game heads, beyond its concept.

i like interesting, odd, unusual things, and i like black comedy. i just don't like the look of this. different isn't automatically good, and from what i just saw i don't think these guys have what it takes to pull off an idea like this.
oh and spare me the darksiders 2 hate. i guess it's too mainstream for you and your coiffed hair, and your sharp suit and no doubt oh so avant-garde taste in music. i hope they do put in a WTC stage so you'll be made to feel sorry for promoting this. then again maybe it's "cool" to lack empathy for the victims of horrible disasters.

You're free to have your own opinions and then back them up, but I still don't understand where you get off calling it "pretentious." Also, why you think this is a reflection of Harmonix's ability to make non-RB games doesn't really make sense. A logical fallacy, perhaps?

@ Ralazar
we are living in a world where you can no longer use the word "pretentious" without ten grammar nazi jumping down your throat asking you to justify it. if you don't know what it means, look it up for gods sake.
as for harmonix, have you not noticed that they have made shitloads of games, but every single on has been a music game? since this is the first time i've seen harmonix staff involved in anything remotely different, and they are working on what looks like an amateurish, confused mess of a game, my current opinion is that they don't have the capability to do much other than make people look like morons with plastic instruments.
sorry for accidentally implying that harmonix was the actual developer of the game, perhaps if you just took my opinion in the way it was obviously intended to be taken rather than concentrating on the minutiae i wouldn't have to explain myself so thoroughly.
so much butthurt.

@Psychoterror You do realize that they only showed a couple seconds of "gameplay", don't you? How the fuck dis you manage to draw all that bullshit out of a couple seconds of some guys standing around?
psycho terror2: "i hope they do put in a WTC stage so you'll be made to feel sorry for promoting this. then again maybe it's "cool" to lack empathy for the victims of horrible disasters."
So you want the developers to do something you feel is tasteless just to make a guy on an internet videogame show feel bad, at the expense of others that may find it offensive? Classy guy.

@psycho terror2: People are grammar nazi's because you use a word incorrectly? How flatulent of you.
@ Paroxysm
no, it's really not my fault that people can't understand English properly. it's honestly mind boggling that so many people have failed to understand how artwork can be pretentious. if you don't think it's pretentious that's your opinion. if you don't understand why it could be seen as pretentious, that's your problem. read a dictionary, you sloppy, disgusting morons.

Looks like the game will be unpausable, huh. That'll surely make things frantic.

Heh heh. I love black humor, but it can't be totally tasteless. Well I guess it could be. I just read about the Titanic extensively and watched James Cameron's little documentary when he went down to the wreck and sent a little robot into it to find areas of the ship that haven't been seen since 1912. Truly a haunting spectacle to behold. Gotta say, no matter how long ago an event like this happened, it's in pretty poor taste to take a shot at it. Pretty fucking stupid. And this coming from myself who loves to draw creatures with asses for faces, legs in red high heels, smoking cigarettes out of the bumhole.
Too bad, because I'd like to play this game. Violence can be gleeful, but when relating to real life, eeeehhhh.....not something I'd be proud of laughing at. And you may say "jesus, it's a game, you moral bore!" to which I would respond by suggesting maybe it'd be a good joke to photoshop pictures of children being mutilated by Jesus' disciples using iron mauls and tack them to a church's bulletin board. But it's so edgy, and dang twisted! It's so wrong! Ha ha! No, it's one of the lowest forms of shock comedy. Draw a pair of testicles taking a walk wearing combat boots, instead. At least you're not making fun times out of terrible deaths. Pathetic.
@Max
You *must* be laughing about the "coifed hair and sharp suit" insult.

They have just announced their debut game, Dreadline, and it's described as a Diablo/Freedom Force mashup in which you control a group of monsters who travel to "human calamities" (e.g., The Titanic and Pompeii) to finish off the poor folks since, hell, they're already screwed anyway. 10" tablets
