No seriously: MTV drops first info on 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand photo
     MTV

Last night when I posted information about another 50 Cent videogame being in the works, you guys were all like "Shut up, really?" and "No, please God ... no!" Fair enough, but nothing can stop the impending release of Vivdendi Games' upcoming 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Nothing.

MTV News has beat Electronic Gaming Monthly to the punch and has revealed the first information on the upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game scheduled to hit this fall. Powered by the Unreal Engine 3 graphics tech, Blood on the Sand has a cooperative element not unlike Epic's Gears of War (one player will play as 50 Cent throughout). The game will have drop-in/drop-out play both online and off, and will feature original music by Mr. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson III himself.

More info and screens of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand can be found over at MTV News.com. Though if this game is as good as Michael Jackson's comeback single "Blood on the Dance Floor," then we're all in trouble.

@ tornolukin: No fucking way it's better than the Wu-Tang Clan fighting game. That shit was da bomb! lol

It actually wasn't that bad, in all seriousness. It could have been awful, and it gets points for allowing 4 players with a multi-tap back then. My friends and I enjoyed it on occassion.

This 50 Cent game will most likely suck, the first one was your average generic shooter with some 50 Cent thrown in. You never know though. It could be OK. Might be good for a rental for some laughs. We'll see.

Bad as it (apparently) was, there's no arguing that the first game actually sold. I'm not at all surprised that they're making another.

@ EternalDeathSlayer: I hear that Wu-tang Clan aint nothin to fuck wit. As for 50 cent, yeah, it can really be a skinjob on the unreal engine. Which it seems lots of games in this genre games are like. This is like a marketing game for G-Unit or something. 50 cent: Blood on the Yaris

wow. 50 is smart. although it seems lame, he knows people will buy it. Maybe not us, but all the 16 year 50 cent fanatic fans out there who wear G UNIT t shirts an recite his lyrics will be all over this like stink on a weasel.

(hopefully they will be playing THIS online and not be in our real games of R6V2 and COD for a while)

for that we ALL owe the makers of this game a sincere thank you!

Yeah, the first game sold over 1 million copies. That's a lot of copies for such a bad game. But this one might not sell so well. I know that personally, I do not listen to 50 Cent anymore. The last album he released was total shit and for once it's sales reflected it's quality, at least somewhat. Rap is on a serious decline right now. As a lifelong fan of hip-hop, I can safely say that the entire genre pretty much sucks ass right now, besides one or two gems every now and then. This game could fail at the register along with the critics.

The worst part? It'll actually sell a single copy.

That'd be great if Kanye made a game, for the sole purpose of outselling Fitty's game.

I could give a shit about either of those guys though. Wu Tang's where it's at.

Guess who bought the first one.
Black people.
Guess who are going to buy the second one?
Black people who can afford an xbox 360.


Why did they buy the 50 cent game.
Because the majority are not hardcore gamers, and so, they see a game with their boy 50 cent on it, regardless of quality, dat shit is gettin' played.

Basically, this is just a cashwh0re attempt.


END NECROS POST.
*this is not how I feel about black gamers.
maybe.*

I'll save my money for the T-Pain Vocorder/dating simulator, or the Timbaland wrestling game. Or, I'll just save my money.
I will give Blood on the Sand a rental ONLY if these things happen in the storyline:

-50 Cent has survived an apocalypse and leaves his homeworld behind to infiltrate an alien world (mostly located on a beach), where every grain of sand/drop of blood is rendered with completely realistic physics.

-Fiddy is a survivor of the Oceanic 815 crash and has to escape a deserted island using only his wits and his...grenades.

-Kanye West is the main antagonist.

If only the game featured 50 Cent & crew being (cooperatively) raped and eaten by Locust. Makes me wish I had Photoshop skills.

I love buying shitty games for cheap and then laughing my ass off at not only the game itself, but all of the people who bought it at full price. Needless to say, Blood on the Sand is going to be a prime candidate.

So 50 is going to the middle east to save us all from terrorism? G-Unit starting a PMC? Three Kings meets Lock, Stock, and Two smoking barrels?

If Dolemite is an unlockable character consider me sold.

@ Sleepingagain:

No way, the DToid review will be 6/10 or some shit, just to enrage the fanboys and get lots of hits.
Expect to see the words "actually not a bad game despite X".

As a game developer making this game I would consider suicide or the alternative is making an indie game about sweat shop workers.

The funniest part is that even if it was good most of us would never go out and buy it. I'm not sure what to think of that.

@ DrNutt:

Not one person so far has said rap sucks.

So I'll take the honor. Rap fucking sucks, and it's almost entirely worthless emo materialistic non-poetry set to a backbeat. A Wiggles album would compared favorable in maturity to the average rap CD.

I read the article, I see - "50 cent", "International terrorists". I think... lolomgwtfbbq.

Come on now, they surely aren't making a videogame starring someone who epitomises everything wrong with world tearing up some eastern land killing terrorists.

What's worse is that the first game made enough sales to generate interest in a sequel. People actually bought it! Maybe it was all the local game store had left in stock and they had to be back at the psychiatric ward soon.

I mean, a rapper liberating us from international terrorism. It'd be vaguely forgivable if he was only voicing the character but he would appear to be playing himself.
