Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood to depict 'the wildest West ever'

by Ludwig Kietzmann on Jan 13th 2009 1:26PM

Though we pray it doesn't foreshadow the appearance of giant mechanical spiders or Will Smith, Ubisoft describes its newly announced shooter, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, as featuring "the wildest West ever depicted." Judging by our previous exposure to Wests of varying wildness -- like in 2007's Call of Juarez -- we'd estimate that this particular West would have to be astonishingly lawless and violent for it to be considered the wildest ever.

Regardless, Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft, feels confident that another collaboration with developer Techland is entirely called for. "We're confident this new collaboration with Techland will bring an even bigger and better adventure to fans of shooters and the lawless Wild West," he said. Of course, true fans of the lawless Wild West will probably just be downloading this from Juarez sites.

Look for the wildest-West-ever prequel on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC later this year.

I might get this at some point, after all the first one was fun.

I agree, though I might rent it first before commiting...

Also, could't we have it just slightly more wild, but a whole lot more western?

All people seem to care about is the wild.. never the west.

i think i'm a self confessed sucker for will smith movies, but i kinda liked wild wild west. and the wild wild west song i've always love...
ficky ficky wild, ficky wild, ficky wild wild west.

Hopefully it's like Gun, but better!

I actually liked gun better, even if it was shorter.

Yeah I am thinking they are goign to go the direction of GUN and depict more realistic images of the old west than that of whats shown in spaghetti westerns.

While I actually thought this was a decent game, the PC version was nearly unplayable, and the 360 version was very difficult to play due to the nature of aiming with an analog stick when the game was clearly designed with the mouse in mind.

PC version played just fine for me.

The first one was okay, but it just felt really dated in almost every way

it's supposed to feel dated, it's a western

har har har you know what I meant

sweet. I liked the gun fights in the first game, and I need more westerns in my video games.

You know I don't speak Spanish!

Another first person shooter! Lets keep flooding the market with these shall we? I wonder if the creators of Castle Wolfenstein get royalties everytime a first person shooter is made?

Castle Wolfenstein wasn't and FPS and Warner passed away a few years back. Try harder.

Plus, Call of Juarez doesn't have to be an FPS either, you can Bible Thump!

I only played the demo of the original Call of Juarez, and while it was decent, I wasn't impressed enough to pick up the full game. Still, I remain very hopeful. One day I'm certain we'll see a Western game that will finally top Sunset Riders as the greatest Western ever. Maybe it will be Bound in Blood? I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I prefer Gunslinger.

Tombstone, ladies.

With a name like that, isn't this just begging to be the most pirated game ever?

Its very refreshing to see a Western. I'm tired of being in space, WWII, a safari/jungle setting. Red Dead Revolver (love to see a sequel) was awesome and so was Gun. Does Darkwatch count? Anyways, let's hope we see more.

Yeah WWII shooters suck, I don't ever play them but Space shooters are almost always fun.

"Wildest Western Ever Depicted" I laugh at that good sir, because according to Wild Westerns Magazine, The Wild Bunch is the Wildest Western Ever Depicted... And just like every other issue in my life, Wild Westerns Magazine has never failed me!

If that's a screenshot from the game it's bound to be the shortest game ever.

BANG!

Would you like to play again?

No there's that XBLA Community games that lasts less then a second.

I hope there is an octopus sheriff, because that would be pretty wild...

Or an alligator wearing sunglasses!

I see Call of Jaurez meets Deadwood, but only more graphic! Tell me that doesn't sound awesome.

WHAT! You're just mad you didn't think of it first.

The 'Juarez' comment at the end my me laugh :)
I'm looking forward to this, I enjoyed the first one. It was atmospheric and had some fun gameplay moments. I just hope they don't aim the sequel too much at consoles instead of PC.

"Jaurez sites" nice.

I always felt the first one was very underrated, and I'm hoping that a second installment will bring more freedom. I liked Gun as well, if you combine Gun with Juarez and come up with some sort of "Grand Theft Horse" type game, well, that'd be frickin sweet.

Oh man, that would be awesome! Grand Theft Stagecoach?

How was the first one? I always have thought a Wild West game could be really great if done right. But I never heard much about the first one thus never really played it.

There's a demo, I was not impressed.

I really did not like it at all. Gun was more fun to me.

I wish Activision would take the collar off Neversoft and let them make Gun 2 instead.

I will totally Gamefly this and wish there was less platforming.

I liked the first one, I might get the sequel/prequel.

To Ubisoft:

BLOOD MERIDIAN
read it

We need more western games... never understood why we have so many WW2 games and almost no western games.

Heck, I even mostly enjoyed Red Dead Revolver.. and that was mostly down to the unique setting.. if it'd been another WW2/SF game it'd have been below average.

Hi!

I'm just going around advertising my new Call of Juarez fansite. I'm hoping it will bring the community together and bring some attention to the game. Hopefully it will be a hub for multi-player clans to recruit and get some potential players. Please stop by and be active!
