Game of ALL TIME.
Um, it is their april fools joke.
It's Call of Duty 4 with a model of 50 cent put in.
Nope.
Also, nope.
Also, this was Ziff's April Fools gag, first in EGM, then repeated on 1up.
Yeah, it's for reals.
SOLD!Quote:
50 and his buddies fly to some vague Middle Eastern country to play a benefit concert, get stiffed for their payment (a diamond-encrusted skull, no less), and end up embroiled in a massive firefight with several warring factions over the aforementioned bling.
Benefit concert... Payment... Quoi?
This game sounds goddamn incredible.
Do most charity benefits pay in Indiana-Jones-esque treasures?
Final boss = rhythm game rap battle, ala Parappa the Rappa.
This sounds epic.
This guy clearly knows what's going on, as evidenced by his acknowledgment of the previous game's lack of great gameplay, his stance on great gameplay, and the need for great gameplay in a game. gameplay.Quote:
"I think the biggest complaint we heard about the first game was that its gameplay was too simplistic," Blean says. "But this time, we're really emphasizing quality [and] trying to make fundamentally great gameplay."

50 Cent himself demanded a change of pace for his second interactive outing. "50's involvement has been pretty extensive this time around," says Producer Aaron Blean. "He really challenged us to create a more compelling setting, and he didn't want us to limit it to a simple run-and-gun game.
For those interested, please be sure to read the definitive review of the first 50 Cent game.
I can't show you my definitive review of 50 Cent because I always remember to flush.

Not always. HGM somehow escaped the bowl and got to me for a year.
NEW TRAILER
http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/1...TS_042408.html
HOT HOT HOT
So at the beginning of each level can we can expect crashing vehicles with our hero flying out unscathed like hes Bill Rizer?
That melee fighting/disarming from the trailer should be in more games.
How come all the good hiphop games are Japanese?
:lol: Holy fuck, that was so awesome. 100/10.
its like his ass stole some of the Super Soldier Serum that they injected into Steve Rogers in the 50's
Nicely animated, damn.
http://i29.tinypic.com/11jyydu.gif
They should rename this to Gangsta Rambo
Whoever is doing the cinemas is doing a hell of a job.
Real Talk.
i agree with Dog 100% that shit looks awesome, even if its molded around a total hack of a "rapper"
There's no reason that game should look as good as it does.
Seriously? I think it's fucking ridiculous, like some kind of incredible self-parody. Like, when in that .gif he tosses the M16 away just so he can start beating on them with his fists and do knee combos. And how he gets in the helicopter and lets it take off just so he can crash it and jump out.Quote:

What are you talking about? It's Devil May Cry-style insanity without the hocus pocus.
When you put it that way, you're right - 50 Cent massacring the Middle East really brings the whole experience down to earth.Quote:

This game looks retarded.
Retardedly awesome you mean.
I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but I get a little teary when I watch that helicopter scene.

It's a violence cartoon, like "Shoot 'Em Up". And for what it is, hippity hop rap-naut nonwithstanding, it looks really slick and over the top, like a comic book or crazy action movie. Like all games, I could give a shit about the plot, this one makes about as much sense as most of the others besides.Quote:

I have to agree when he dropped the gun and started wailing I couldn't stop laughing at how absurd that was. But I know what you mean it looks a little too good for what it is....which is mind blowing. I laughed when the first one came out I sold a copy to a little kid and a mom and these are the actual quote "Mom! I want this game so bad it has 50 cent!!!" "Oh, Is he a famous Basketball player?" "No mom!" "Is he a famous Football player?" "NO! MOM HE IS" "Baseball player?" "Mom no he is" "well son I can't think of any other sports he could be in..." I was laughing so hard in the inside "Mam, he is a rapper" which she replies "Oh well I figured he did that too" haha
This game will be a sleeper hit, and by hit I mean "suprisingly good"
take it to the bank now
50 cent is exactly what I would pay to play this ZING!
Or maybe I can tell this is fucking hilarious.Quote:

Let's hope that with this and MK vs. DC it will set a precedent for something even more absurd and unlikely, like a Mother 3 localization or a Gitaroo Man sequel.
Well yeah, it totally is. :DQuote:

I'd play it if they replaced 50 Cent and his cronies with a different band. The Clash: Rock the Casbah would kick ass.

Fugitive Hunter: Target Terror 2
* Now with character licenses!
Is Kanye West the final boss.
I'm surprised he didn't throw someone up into the helicopter blades.
It's a Teen rated trailer, you monster!
edit: Oh wait. Blood, lols.
More delicious:Quote:

If you remove 50 cent from the equation it doesn't seem that far fetched an idea for a game. I'd play it, probably wouldn't buy it though.
I prefer the US Vitimin Water design, actually. Very strong.
Fucking horrible drink, though.
I'm pretty sure it's a completely different product in Japan. There's only the one flavour.
I see that and raise you:Quote:

At the end of the day, this is the greatest drink you can get from a vending machine, imo:Quote:

Suntory Iyemon. The dark stuff is like if red bull was good for you, didn't make you jittery and had no harsh comedown. They're test marketing it in the US in San Francisco next month (at double the Japanese price, naturally).
what does it taste like?
Seriously. I used to like it, but now it gives me the shits, for some reason. I think my stomach just can't handle the added FLAVA that 50 Cent undoubtedly provided.Quote:

I dunno, the absurdity of this game is amusing in itself. I have no idea about this 50 cent person, his crew or his brand of gansta antics. But having him run around the middle east killing arabs in a family fun way (no religious references in the middle east!) is just awesome.
/day 1
be glad you don't know about him, he sucks and has like Zero talent, but then again it seems that you don't need much talent these days to become an "artist"
It's green tea. Comes in normal and dark varieties, the second of which is quite bitter.Quote:

Not in Ohio, lol!
those are cool though, I've never seen them before.
I've never seen Iyemon in the vending machines down here in the Inaka. :(Quote:

Hyuganatsu Tea that is sold in the vending machines down here, but I think they're in Miyazaki only, since we're the Hyuganatsu place.
It's really fucking good btw. Hyuganatsu is much better than lemon in tea.
Can we stop talking about beverages and focus on how awesome this game is going to be?
Alright, sure.
Hey, new screen!

Tea is more interesting than 50 Cent. So are rocks, mold and flakes of paint. When there are more videos released there will be more to make fun of, but in the meantime we might as well get some use out of this thread.Quote:

You can choose to believe me or not, but I am a hidden unlockable character in this game. I will reveal more later.
As long as he knows the characteristic characteristics of the characters he's using it's all ok.Quote:

At least we'll always have that trailer.
That fucking sucks. I'd trade Spore's existance for this.
Oh I don't know. At least now there will be something associated with 50 Cent which I will look back at fondly.
IIRC Jostiq reported that the company that was making it isn't admitting that it's cancelled... so... fingers crossed?
Gotta have faith that Fiddy will finish the game HIMSELF.
And this is why you don't believe Kotaku.
The streets taught him everything he knows. . . even programming. Street Cred +infinityQuote:

I figured it was probably far enough along that it would end up non-cancelled, but still- :(Quote:

This game is still going to come out. THQ submitted this to the Australian OFLC.
They could always change it to a different rapper.
The Kriss Kross comeback has been long overdue.Quote:
