New WET trailer surfaces, nobody seems to notice photo

How strange. Last night we run a rumor that WET may be released some time this year, and today we get a tip stating that a brand new trailer went up on the official site several weeks ago and nobody noticed. This is certainly the first time I've seen it, and preliminary online scouting seems to suggest I'm not alone.

You can check out the trailer on the "unofficial" site here, where some solid gameplay is shown. It looks like they've taken heavy influence from Total Overdose and Stranglehold. That could be good or bad, depending on which of those two games they've taken the most inspiration from. It looks like this game mimics more of the former, and that's definitely not bad. 

We'll continue digging around to find out the exact fate of this game. In the mean time, check out the video and tell us what you think!

This is going to be a very fun game. Not amazing, but fucking fun. And like I said before, Max Payne meets Mirror's Edge.

Oh, and if they took influence from either TO or Stranglehold, it's all good. I liked those games.

Looks like fun, although it might get old after a while. That is assuming of course they don't shake things up in the course of the game.
And for some reason all I could think about while watching the trailer was: Sky Pirates! Although I have no clue as to why exactly.

actually looks fun. the visuals look generic, but the gameplay promises a fun experience, so it balances it out for me.

Unofficial site? They don't have an official site to show off their goods?

As for the trailer itself, the gameplay sounds alot like the Katana mod for Max Payne.

@Vrynix - If bullet time killing 360 degree acrobatics get old for you after awhile... then maybe Max Payne-ish games aren't really meant for you.

For me, that games looks fucking sweet! I just hope the environment interaction is a little tighter than what I've seen in previous games like this.

Hmm it looks decent but I'm reminded a lot of Stranglehold while watching this. It looks like that game with more climbing. Not necessarily a bad thing though. I'll have to wait to see/read more about it. If it came out tomorrow I'd probably skip it.

I'd be lying if I said that "Sky Pirates" was what I was thinking, but now that you mention it, it seems to make some kind of freakish sense.

- Rubi Wet is dressed like a modern pirate and uses twin pistols, like someone who auditioned to play Revy from Black Lagoon, but was rejected for wearing too much clothing. She might also have auditioned for a Tomb Raider remake, but was passed over for Angelina Jolie.

- She wields a Chinese-y sword. Chinese pirates were famous, and they wielded Chinese-y swords, too.

- She's always flying through the air in that trailer, which might count as a low version of the sky.

Sky Pirates!

@Demtor
You're probably right in that respect, of course I can't really say I like it or not untill i've tried it (with this game that is)

@Unangbangkay
I normally don't know my own mind, but my god you were so dead on. Usually I myself don't even think i'm making any kind of coherent argument, bonus points for making it seem somewhat logical.

Boy its been awhile since I played the Katana mod for Max Panye. Looks like it must have been improved a lot since then. Thats cool. Might have to check it out again sometime.

Can this game be any more generic ?

Hot chick with no personality - check
One-liner dialogue (mostly filled with foul language) - check
Dual guns - check
Slow-mo combat - check
Ridiculously unbelievable action sections - check
Sword - check

And the name, Wet ? Is that supposed to be a sexual joke ?

The only thing this game can hope to be is another mindless, unoriginal action title. Well, I guess whatever floats your boat. Sometimes it can be fun to play these guilty pleasure games.

wow been ages since I heard anything of this game, I actually thought it was velvet assassin for a while but i knew from the trailer as she slid on her knees this was the game i was trying to remember all them months ago.

However its changed alot i think in the teaser she had like red hair ala heavenly sword. Though this looks like they ripped the stranglehold engine made some tweaks, sprinkled in some matrix and threw in some sass.

looking a solid 6 or 7 out of ten from the trailer.

@ Hiltz
I'm not sure about this, but I believe the name "Wet" is based of the term "wetwork". That is to say, killing. The term is usually used in movies in regards to hiring an assassin.
I could be way off on this one though.

Did she just slide on her knees down a set of stairs like she was sliding on a flat, smooth surface??

No, no. That's impossible, this is a current gen game in the 21st century.

@PappaDukes - Haha, can't believe I missed that. I must have been too busy fapping. Maybe thats what the devs thought too, "What? Have her trip down the stairs like Solid Snake... pleez. Just look at her! Ahhh... *fap* *fap* *fap*"

Good to know that the main character got the same suit made of butter the main character in stranglehold was wearing lol.

Yeah it looks good I guess. Good in a Stanglehold kinda way, where it doesn't seem to take its self to seriously.

Looks pretty good, hot chick with a couple of guns flipping about in bullet time shooting the crap out of everyone, what's not to like? Can't help but laugh that the developer is called A2M.

wait, what was that game that was set on a giant boat (basically a floating city) that was attacked by terrorists and needed somebody to take out the assassins before they took out the boat? the one where the gameplay is based around water physics? i thought that was wet, but i'm obviously mistaken...
