Re: Wet (coming this fall)

The graphics are a bit underwhelming, but if the coolness, humour and "Grindhouse" style are done properly, this could be one to keep an eye on. I thought the trailer was pretty good.

I thought the game was about something else

Re: Wet (coming this fall)

I thought WET was the name of a game that was being made a while ago, which featured a female character trying to escape a sinking ship with some brilliant water physics?

I hope they didnt remake it into this

Re: Wet (coming this fall)

Anyone played the demo on ps3? Kinda like stranglehold but better, love the old skool film look.

Great fun, could get repetitive, must be a 360 demo on the way soon to try.

Re: Wet (coming this fall)

I played the PS3 demo and really liked it. Very much like Stranglehold. I liked the drving section (QTE level) and the crazy red and blac level.

You just know this game is going to get 7/10s all over the place and in about 6 months will be 10-15quid brand new!

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

Well thats one of the more fun demo's I played in recent times. Is like a cross between Stranglehold and Total Overdose with a bit of No More Hero's thrown in. One to mark down for my 3 month free trial Lovefilm rental list

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

Quite liked the demo.

Somehow reminds me of a Tarentino movie esp. Kill Bill.

I remember seeing screens for that, looked interesting. Wonder what happened to it?

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

Aye

Dark Energy - Hydrophobia

Back to WET, Demo on XBL now so will give it a go with a proper controller, although cant see me purchasing this as I played Stranglehold which was enough

Also forgot to mention, after the first bit of the demo on PS3, it just sat on a black screen.. I could go back to other option, but failed to carry on, unless that was part of the demo, which would have been flippin stupid!

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

Just ran through the demo and pleasantly surprised. Seems to be more flowing and fun than Stranglehold was. Absolutely loved the second section of the demo, presented in a stylized, graphic novel look.

Not sure if its worth a buy, but probably good to rent.

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

I wasnt to keen on it tbh ..... just another stranglehold with a slicker presentation. I might give it another go but at the mo its not on my list of wants.

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

I liked this demo also, nothing amazing but had more fun with it than Stranglehold. Looks and feels like a budget title to me though and my guess is it won't take long before it reaches the bargain bins, might pick it up when it does.

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

Played it properly without crashing (like PS3 version did) Good fun and much much better with a proper Ctrl), but a little clunky (like trying to run up walls in certain parts) I wont be buying this soon

Re: Wet (UK Release: Late 2009)

This is pure fun. No skill needed but you get massive points if you can chain everything together. I think it plays better than Stranglehold, as the controls feel a bit tighter. Worth picking up if you plan to replay, but otherwise, a rental.
