Rent-A-Hero No. 1

[Jeremy]

CoolNet was recently called CoolCool, so they may have had a name change. Rumpy, great quote from one of the funniest Futurama Vol. 3 commentaries. Korly, I'll ask the owner of VGPub, who does have the 80% build of it given out at the last E3, if he can snag some sort of translation for it. Amazingly, the next "delay" has NOT been shown on EB's site yet, so expect it in the next 26 days or so. There's a nice PDF of the game's front cover and such, which should, ideally, allow folks to print out a copy of it and make their own RAH case. The site also has some blurry pics of the game as well, which I haven't seen before.

[Korly]

Good lookin' out man.

[Jeremy]

You're welcome. Hopefully, VGPub will be able to find out what the deal is with AIA, as it stands though, their phone is still disconnected, as of a few weeks ago. Which certianly doesn't bode well for this game ever coming out.

AIA actually has a new name.. Ignition Games, I believe. Not sure what the tragic fate of RAH is, though. I'll ask next time I get the chance.

[Jeremy]

Wow, thanks for that info man.

[James]

If it ever arrives I will pay money for it. It still hasn't fallen off the release list and there's even the EB tv spot on it, and those don't happen for free. I'm really hoping that this time we'll actually get to play the game, at long, long last.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, the second I see it, if I see it, I'll snatch it up in an instant. I've been waiting far too long for it to pass up on it when/if it comes out. I wouldn't mind seeing the EB TV spot for it.

[thray-walsh]

(makes mental note to dig out the review copy) ;p

[James]

Don't get too excited over that spot, it's one of the lame "trivia" questions. How does he get his powers? Is it A, B, C, D? And then they give the answer and mention that Coolwhatever is publishing. Not worth tracking down, no gameplay is shown.

Of course, it doesn't help that the EB tape loop is more concerned with running music videos and movie previews than showing games. Maybe that deserves it's own thread? This is TNL, we can bitch about anything here.

Ah, thanks for the impressions of the vid. I envy those with a review copy, although it apparantly isn't a 100% complete version, it's still gotta be better than nothing. Which reminds me, I'd better get hopping on updating my History of RAH piece for VGPub.
