Greg Hastings Paintball 2 announced for consoles photo

Because the 2004 Xbox title Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball needed a sequel, it's getting one this year, thanks to Majesco.

The publisher has announced that Greg Hastings Paintball 2 will be hitting Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii this September. The game features both single and multiplayer gameplay modes and events based in real-life paintball fields. The game also has a new feature called the "Cheat Meter," which lets you wipe off pain splatters before getting caught. Is that something people do?

Also on tap is downloadable content, because once you get a taste of Greg Hastings Paintball 2, you're going to want more. The game is being developed by Super X Studios who have previously developed a photo safari title for the PC, as well as an outer space screen saver.

Painball reminds me of Faceball, which is a game that I really need in my life.

Also, painball is now the test of how many shots from a paintball gun can be taken to the groin area until submission.

Your all laughing now but im telling modern warfare 2 and the like are so last year. This year is its all about the genre simulations of a simulation, i.e a paintball game. I hear the paint physics has been totally upgraded

Actually there are competitive douchebags that wipe paint hits. So they must have done some "research" with about 50 cases of paint. Tough life.

Why does the guy in the header have a pistol at his side? Is it a paint pistol? Or does he carry it in case he gets captured, so he cant be interrogated?

Painball sounds like dodgeball, only with special rules where you only throw head and crotch shots. I love dogdeball...

The Greg Hastings Paintball game for the original Xbox was actually very well done. It was all about strategy; one hit, and you were out, so you had to use cover to your advantage constantly. That game also had the "cheat meter" system in place already, so it's not much of a "new" addition to the game.

Wiping is actually a big thing in competitive paintball. Makes sense they'd put it in the game even though it is cheating.

A lot of times in a competition or even local play people will get shot in the chest or leg, then purposefully dive and slide into cover behind the snake (A big long snake-like air tube usually running down the center line of the field) to wipe the paint off on the grass or dirt.

I'm rather surprised that the first one did well enough to warrant a sequel though.

@KainX it's part of the game.
It's like falling on purpose to the ground in soccer games.
