Legendary gameplay footage reeks of promise

by Justin McElroy { Mar 7th 2008 at 11:30AM }

We've been talking about it for nearly eight months now, so we thought you might like a peek at some pre-alpha gameplay footage from Legendary. The video seems to be having some framerate issues (at least, we hope it's the video) but some of the imagery here is really striking. On that note, we'd like to go on record as saying that Electro-Car Bot is destined to be the Big Daddy of 2008.

If you're anything like us, the promise of being able to play in a world being ripped asunder this beautifully is enough to bump this pretty high up on your "must play" list for the summer. Let's just hope the gameplay lives up to the world.

Hey toughguy...please dont beat me up. I am sooooo scared of your hairdoo, and those guns WOW!!! I bet you had to register those as deadly weapons.

Fernando Rocker @ Mar 7th 2008 11:44AM

Marry me Mario PSN: Killjebus @ Mar 7th 2008 11:51AM

Hey ToughGuy

Threatening to beat someone up over a gaming blog because of difference of opinion = LAME

Marry me Mario PSN: Killjebus @ Mar 7th 2008 11:54AM

Hey TG

What does energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared have to do with this game exactly? And why does it equal other videogames? And why do others agree with you TG?

baby sea tuna @ Mar 7th 2008 11:55AM

You are a Legendary Troll. How is it that you haven't been banned yet?!

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 11:55AM

WHy don't you two put down your weapons, kiss and make up. This is about the game, not you :)

Fernando Rocker @ Mar 7th 2008 11:56AM

Really... I know I lot of people here doesn't like me... a lot of people bash me and talk trash about me... but I also have some very good Joystiq friends, and I chat with them everyday (MSN, Live, a lot of Wii Friends), play onlie with them, we discuss and talk about a lot of things... and they like to read some of my comments, others say that I need to calm down, they help with a lot of things... some Joystiq friend is currently helping me with my english.

But you? Really... why can't you see that 95% of Joystiq readers doesn't like you? Why don't you go to other site, with less reputation, like n4g.com or something... maybe you will fell more confortable in there.

Believe me... no one will miss you. Trust me.

Marry me Mario = Lame

Why TG...do I detect jealousy? I proposed to him b4 you did and now your mad. Please don't hurt me TG.

Marry me Mario PSN: Killjebus @ Mar 7th 2008 11:58AM

"You are a Legendary Troll. How is it that you haven't been banned yet?!"

So TG can THREATEN physical violence and thats OK. But if I make FUN of him for it....I'm the badguy?

Yeah...that makes sense.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 11:58AM

Fernando, and MMM, whether you have friends or not makes no difference to the rest of us, unless your friends are AI characters in 'Legendary: The Box'

baby sea tuna @ Mar 7th 2008 12:03PM

Whatever. Y'all sort this out yourselves then. I'm going to lunch.

In parting, my $.02 is that Fernando will be missed far more than you will...

NATO_Duke @ Mar 7th 2008 12:03PM

WTF happened in this thread.

xFenixKnightx @ Mar 7th 2008 12:03PM

Here we go again..........

Get a life people. Or, IS this your life? Scary.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 12:04PM

They were measuring the size of thier egos based on how many people like them in the virtual world, and failed miserably :)

ThePremierAssassin @ Mar 7th 2008 1:04PM

Umm fernando have you regained your sanity after yesterday?

Marry me Mario PSN: Killjebus @ Mar 7th 2008 11:41AM

Intriguing I wonder how destructible the environments will be.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 11:56AM

Yeah, pre-destructable, meaning they fall apart whether you shoot it or not from the looks of things, thats gay :P

Marry me Mario PSN: Killjebus @ Mar 7th 2008 12:17PM

Good observation. I wonder whats causing it?

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 12:24PM

...The box?

riggs @ Mar 7th 2008 11:42AM

i know graphics doesnt make a game, but i really wanted this one to look nice.

License to ill @ Mar 7th 2008 11:48AM

From the makers of turning point = sure to be craptastic...

tmacairjordan87 @ Mar 7th 2008 2:43PM

holy shit is it really from them? when i was watching that trailer all i could think about was turning point on the shittiness meter. It looks really really similar art wise.

xFenixKnightx @ Mar 7th 2008 11:49AM

It looks............aight.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 11:55AM

You're a funny guy, I like you.

xFenixKnightx @ Mar 7th 2008 12:05PM

*feels all warm inside*

Benny @ Mar 7th 2008 11:51AM

I don't get the excitement. It looks generic, with a few eagles thrown in.

Maybe it's 'The Box' subtitle that's doing it for you guys?

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 11:54AM

Actually, the proper terminology is 'Griffin'

baby sea tuna @ Mar 7th 2008 11:56AM

*Actually* the proper term is "gryphon"...if ya wanna get technical.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 12:00PM

Thats the proper proper term :P Lol, I'm not THAT nerdy, I can just see they they aren't eagles cos they have four legs, which makes them Griffins or Gryphons or gryfins or whatever the hell its pronounced, lol

Triple post? That's a record =p

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 12:19PM

Tell me about it, the comment system is buggered, lol

Benny @ Mar 7th 2008 12:23PM

Despite the revelation, I still find myself remarkably unbothered about this game.

deaftly @ Mar 7th 2008 1:17PM

Pea. Tear. Griffin.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 11:53AM

Started off shit, then started to get good, I have mixed feelings on this one, the whole concept reminds me of D-wars...

WHICH IS A CRAP ASS MOVIE BY THE WAY, DO NOT WATCH!

Delgado @ Mar 7th 2008 1:37PM

The movie is called Dragon Wars for fucks sake.

If anyone reading your comment had a sudden epiphany, and was like "oh wow, NOW I won't watch that...." well... they deserve to be kicked in the face.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 7th 2008 2:01PM

Lol, its called Dragon Wars yes, but D-war for short, go check it before correcting me.

And apart from the special effects, the movies sucks, acting is terrible, storyline passable by a bit, and well, evrything else pretty much fails, okay, its not a complete disaster, its far better then some other movies I've seen such as Flying virus, but it still sucks regardless.
