Red 5 studios is finally announcing their game photo

Finally, finally, finally. Red 5 Studios is finally ready to tell us what the hell it has been working on since it was founded five years ago. Big Download noticed that the company would be at PAX Prime this year (as we will be) and they reached out and asked why. Turns out it's because Red 5 will actually be announcing whatever it is it has been working on right before PAX this September.

Not only that, but a PR rep for the company also revealed that the game will be a "team-based action shooter." Guess the ex-Blizzard employees that comprise Red 5 are going in a different direction than their former employer's World of Warcraft. I won't complain about that. Of course the team-based action shooter is all the rage these days so we'll have to see what Red 5 thinks it can bring to the table.

Time to hold our breath until September and keep an eye on their site where they've taken a picture of a countdown.

"Team based action shooter" = "This game will only be fun to 12 year olds and people with the mentality of 12 year olds".

It depends on where the shooter is based, if you need teams all the time and how the weapons play out.

Dang, what's the matter with you guys? Maybe it'll be perfection, or maybe itll Just be crap, but either way I was pretty excited when I heard "Team based action shooter". I mean cmon you never know what they're going to do with it. Just give it a chance.

Avast has been not liking the site since I started using the Firefox 4.0 betas. Things are still cool with Chrome though, so I'll wait until Firefox 4 is released proper.

Apparently Spore wasnt so great for adults. This isnt goign to be your average shooter. The co developer of WOW and the creator of Starsiege Tribes workign together? No, this isnt going to be your average shooter.
