It seems 1UP has the first details on Volatile Games' upcoming third-person shooter slash dog-commanding sim, Dead to Rights: Retribution. The game will reportedly be an origin story, setting up the history of longtime Dead to Rights series protagonist Jack Slate and describe how he and Shadow (the game's iconic dog) "first come together as partners against those who would bring the once great city to its knees."

Namco Bandai claims the game will feature a "hybrid combat system," which combines hand-to-hand combat and shooting, but the first screens do little to show off this concept. You also get to push people down stairs!

To keep you in the loop, we've created a handy list of things we know about Dead to Rights: Retribution so far:

The game is named Dead to Rights: Retribution and it's an origin story.
It's coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 in Q4 2009 according to Namco Bandai, the game's publisher.
There's totally a dog in it.

You're welcome!

6. You can push people down stairs!

C'mon, lets not forget that!

Its always fun to push people down the stairs, especially when they're on wheelchairs.

At least zimmerframe users put up a fight, those poor unarmed, bald thugs don't have a chance.

7. It'll have a horrible camera just like the first 2.

8. Oh and the biggest selling point is a NEXT-GEN STRIPPER mini game! WOOOOOWW!

no playstation the official magazine was the first. so ;P

So, is "Retribution" going to be 2009's hand on the cover?

It sounds pretty good to me but I will need more info before I make a final decision about the game.

My dog looks just like the shadow dog. are you jealous? you should be! lol too bad you cant post photos here i would post it.

I admit it, Iwas hoping for Deader to Rights.

9....... It's a video game :O

I mean, of course it could be good. Yet thus far, doesn't seem like anything even remotely new. Which, just may be a slight problem.

Wasn't there already a prequel to the game?

I believe it was called Dead to rights II.

And let's not forget the prequel TO the prequel, Dead to rights reckoning.

can you make the dog bite people in the balls?

Haven't played these games in a long time (only ever did because it was one of those cheap titles you find) and I'd be willing to give it a chance, I suppose. Wasn't THAT bad, if I remember right.
