If you've not yet had your fill of
Kane & Lynch-esque co-op crookery, Denmark-based Deadline Games has another pair for your consideration, namely "Faith and a .45." Billed as an "intense and atmospheric shooter" (aren't they all?), the game sees spirited lass Ruby -- she's the one with the red hair then -- facing the hardship that goes with battling "an oppressive enemy force" and being constantly stalked by an evil Tobey Maguire. Then again, perhaps that's supposed to be
Luke, the other half of the "two outlaw lovers destined to go down in history."
Deadline CEO Chris Mottes reckons the game will take the studio's "creative might" beyond the lofty levels obtained by
Total Overdose and
Chili Con Carnage. He insists that
despite due to its "roots in movie production," the studio highly values original stories, settings and characters -- particularly those chased across a Great Depression-era US by "armour-clad pyromaniacs," it seems.
Faith and a .45 is currently aimed at "next-gen platforms" and will be presented to selected publishers at next month's Game Developers Conference.

Choose your joke:
Nice to see that Maguire and Durst hit the ground running after Spidey 3.
I'd crack a joke about something being rotten in Denmark, but I don't recally Total Overdose being bad, if not much of a standout.

Complete rip-off of the title of the 1994 film "Love and a .45". Mmm, back when Renée Zellweger was young and hotter. Hey-o...

"...and being constantly stalked by an evil Tobey Maguire." made me lol.
Well, I dunno about how original it'll be, but I do like the title. Has a ring to it.

Watch out! He's right behind you!

I guess I could find some time to make this into an XBL title for them - but they have to front the $90 subscription fee.
Yeah - go ahead and think about it and have your people call my people, or call my cat, he should be home right now.

It needs more Perfect Dark.

Looks like a hot red head version of the lesbian girlfriend in "But I'm a Cheerleader"

At least the setting is somewhat unique and underused, at least for an action title.
Will wait and see on this one, but I thought Total Overdose was a hoot.

I... I really like the title.

sex scene is necessary.

Between the Heavenly Sword chick, the Tabula Rasa chick and this chick, the only conclusion I can come to is that the gaming industry wants me to buy lots of "F**k-Me Red" hairdye. ...Or enter into a lesbian relationship with a redheaded video game girl. I'm dating a redheaded guy, so... Maybe that counts? Gaming Industry, why are you confusing me? ;(

I think the movie industry has a stranglehold on the look-how-big-my-boobs-are-platinum-blonde dye, so the gaming industry gets whatever is left.

when are the developers going to stop calling it next gen

I may be quite tired but the imagery actually struck a chord with me. Thankfully I have public opinion to tell me later if the box art was trying to trick me into thinking this might be worth the money. It's okay for someone else to try and do a Kane & Lynch style game, afterall if it wasn't done right the first time then maybe somebody else should get a shot at it. Kind of like that paticular war that they keep re-playing in games, you know which one. The first couple iderations pumped it up to peak before the poor Nazi bastards ended up being used more than poor MegaMan's shameful prostitution through the gaming ranks.

When the Playstation 2 sells less copies than Sony's newest black monolith... oh wait, they're trying to port the white finished version from Japan, so maybe we'll just have the giant egg instead.
Geist @ Jan 24th 2008 12:23AM
This is probably a random thing to say, but I like the title. Very rarely do games get titles that don't sound...you know, like game titles. The names are usually quick and succint, bland and random.
ThornedVenom @ Jan 24th 2008 3:15AM
Romance is definitely something which isn't explored enough in FPSes.
Chicago Mafia @ Jan 24th 2008 11:32AM
If you have kick ass box art, it helps sell the game. It already looks interesting to me....
