WET resurfaces, new screens dried off
Sometimes news comes from where you least expect it. Case in point: middleware firm Illuminate Labs. The lighting tech company recently toweled off new screens for Blizzavision cast off, WET, confirming that the acrobatic shooter is still expected to bound onto retail shelves for the PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime in 2009.
In development at Montreal-based developer Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M), WET has remained submerged well below the radar since it was first detailed in August 2007. Beyond the new eye candy, WET's pool of details remains shallow, though it's at least good to know that someone will be fishing the game out of the well someday soon.

WET has held my interest for quite a while, looks like a fun game with cool character design. I hope it gets picked up soon (I'd champion Southpeak, but I reckon they see it as competition to Velvet Assassin... So come on D3!)

Spam your shit somewhere else Alfey

activision is really having me question why they got rid of all these cool IP's. Meh they will soon regret those decisions because I think wet along with ghostbusters and brutal legend will sell really really well.

Don't be so hard on yourself, no need to cry over spilt, um, wet, er. DAMMIT

@ markez
You've got to think your puns out ahead of time, you can't just dive in.
Ihavepants @ Jan 5th 2009 11:55PM
Yeh, you'll end up over your head.
In water.
GundamWingEW @ Jan 5th 2009 10:37PM
THAT'S HOT!
Ihavepants @ Jan 5th 2009 10:59PM
No, it's WET.
Read the title.
Shmil @ Jan 5th 2009 11:07PM
Don't worry about him, that's all water under the bridge now.
Brian @ Jan 6th 2009 3:03AM
Hot and Wet? Is that a confirmation it'll be available through Steam?
:)
Boltok Beast @ Jan 5th 2009 10:48PM
why in the world would you name your company after the nastiest porn position in the book and the first game you make called WET, what are trying to do or prove. Ass 2 Mouth are you serious
Shmil @ Jan 5th 2009 10:54PM
You never go ass to mouth.
Michael @ Jan 6th 2009 7:44AM
@Shmil: sometimes in the heat of the moment, its forgivable to go ass to mouth
EvilDud @ Jan 6th 2009 8:13AM
It's not their first game, they've done a bunch of portable stuff, mostly movie adaptations, stuff like that.
I get the feeling that they've made their millions working on shit for other people, and now it's time to make their baby. Hopefully it'll be good.
Wiinterfang @ Jan 6th 2009 9:49AM
You know under some circumstances, it's ok to go Ass to mouth.
Ihavepants @ Jan 5th 2009 11:01PM
In before a TIDAL WAVE of comments.
Ihavepants @ Jan 5th 2009 11:21PM
Hmm, they only seem to be trickling in.

You guys.
The Fatass of Kickassness @ Jan 5th 2009 11:14PM
that's some serious depth of field.
Graham Wellington (formerly tyrone washington, or marsha goldberg) @ Jan 6th 2009 3:55AM
wait...pun or serious statement?
Shmil @ Jan 6th 2009 4:07AM
my guess was a little from column A and a little from column B
The Fatass of Kickassness @ Jan 6th 2009 7:08AM
depth of field. a technique that makes objects farther away seem our of focus.
look at that screenshot.
NeoK-182 @ Jan 5th 2009 11:22PM
hell yeah. glad to here this game is back. teaser trailer looked great.
Hala Madrid!! (Somebody get me a tie! And it sure as hell better be red!) @ Jan 5th 2009 11:38PM
So the name of the game is WET and a chick is the main character? Hmmm...
Sounds sexy, but I'll have to see a gameplay video first.
ice~ @ Jan 5th 2009 11:55PM
oh my god
puns
j.howlett @ Jan 6th 2009 12:04AM
the weapons in the screens have me interested
xFenixKnightx @ Jan 6th 2009 12:44AM
Never seen this game before. Me likey :)
Graham Wellington (formerly tyrone washington, or marsha goldberg) @ Jan 6th 2009 3:55AM
white entertainment television?
Michael @ Jan 6th 2009 7:47AM
anyone also notice the last picture, her jacket has nipples wtf is that all about?
MikeO. @ Jan 6th 2009 8:21AM
I remember seeing the trailer like a year and a half ago and the gameplay was like watching Sin City mixed with a touch of the acrobatics of Prince of Persia.
It definately got me excited for it then, I'm glad to see that it wasn't tossed aside.
omac @ Jan 6th 2009 9:22AM
WET looks pretty cool. The title refers to wetworks or assassinations. Youtube has a handycam of a level. It's looks like a hybrid of Max Payne and Stranglehold and ol' school grindhouse flicks. I'm there...
Megadanxzero @ Jan 6th 2009 10:02AM
OH DEAR GOD THE PUNS!
Anyway, this is really odd, since I just found out about this game literally a few days ago and started looking up screens and previews, and there hadn't been any news since 2007. I must have some magical power to revive old games people thought had been cancelled...
I think it looks pretty good. Sort of like Stranglehold, which I liked the idea of, but turned out to be a terrible game. Let's hope this is a bit better. Certainly looks pretty.
The game, not the girl... >.>
Van @ Jan 6th 2009 12:42PM
This looks like Tomb Raider...
