Little else is known about the title. The press release promises online play (still only four players) and that they are expecting a Spring 2008 launch for an as-of-yet unnamed new-gen console. It will be published by Gamecock, who promptly broke through a wall and danced the funky chicken to someone playing "No One Knows" on Guitar Hero.
Wideload Games have previously only published one title, the heralded gem Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse. The company was founded by Alex Seropian, whose previously co-founded Bungie Studios and headed up development of Halo.

I think you misspelled next-gen, Ross.

Wow, sounds like the feature film at the Springfield Theatre.
"THAT'S what you get for not hailing to the chimp!"

"...they are expecting a Spring 2008 launch for an as-of-yet unnamed new-gen console"
Since it's from the publisher of Stubbs, which was from ex-Bungie employees, I'm guessing this game arrives on the 360. Unless there's a Mac console coming out...

"the heralded gem" ?
oh, i don't think so. that's what Shadow of the Colossus was. Stubbs was a mediocre diversion for a weekend, at best.

"The company was founded by Alex Seropian, whose previously co-founded Bungie Studios and headed up development of Halo."
Well, at least this game may have deathmatch potential.

Stubbs was great I can't wait to see what Wideload does with this game.
