Following the weirdo and random faux movie posters we were sent earlier this week, Ubisoft has officially announced Bloody Good Time for Xbox Live Arcade and Steam.
In development by Outerlight (The Ship), Bloody Good Time is a multiplayer first-person shooter powered by Valve's Source engine. Players are put on a Hollywood-style set -- like a spring-break beach house or Las Vegas hotel -- and are forced to kill each other using whacky weapons. And these weapons are totally whacky -- a frying pan, an exploding remote-controlled rat, and… guns!
The game has online support for eight players, each of which can choose from stereotypical b-movie types, like a bikini babe, a scary clown, a jock, and more. Sounds like, er, a bloody good time? Yeah, I've got nothing here.

Just make another Rabbids game, surely that could have sufficed?
Okay.
Okay.
Including a sci-fi esque? "Monday Night Combat", a cowboy one "Lead and Gold", and of course Team Fortress... so we're getting another game just like those but with "wackier" characters? No thanks. If the above games aren't what I say they are then excuse me... that's just what they look like.
The Ship seemed like a very interesting idea so I'll be looking forward to more information on this one.
Sold. Or at least I would be if it sounded even remotely original.
Looks more like The Ship crossed with Timespliters which is fine by me.
Hope they work it out. Nevertheless, I support all my indie devs, good or bad.
But still... "generic multiplayer shooter."
I don't think it's 'whacky" though, but "wacky". Whacky is something you'd use to describe a thudding noise, perhaps.
I agree with the usage "videogames", though.
