It promises more, with three still-locked gates with timers on them (two for a bit under a week, one for just under two weeks) on the periphery of the "experience." Here's hoping one of those three will reveal a projected release date for the nearly four-year-old, still-in-development game from Zero Point Software. We'd really like to try our hand at some landshark wranglin'.

Their helmets look very similar to something, but I can't pin it down. Something from GI Joe maybe?

Perhaps you are thinking of the Wanted: Weapons of Fate game.

That's what it reminded me of, anyway. I think in strange ways.

Your right, the developers should just replace all the settings and character with WWII themes and all the weapons to the Kar98k.

There actually aren't as many as you think. Just the ones that there are happen to be so good that people already think there are too many. And honestly, how can you not be excited about landsharks?

Done! You have yourselves a nice little web app, sir. Does it work on my PS3 and 360 browsers? Where can I find your game? Can I get paid for PR?
Seriously, I know it's just a single screen shot, but it was quite neat. I could have used, perhaps 5 seconds of action to pore over, in engine. Trailers, no matter how nice, always suffer from compression artifacts, which makes this thing particularly nice.
But I fear this will be like Legendary, in which we get sold on one excellent enemy, and the rest of the game is poo. Prove me wrong please, and landsharks FTW.
PS: Aquatic predators are probably my worst fear. Curse you god for making us so helpless in water.

Don't know what you're talking about, so it must be something on your end. When you are at the play page, scroll down, there is a list of known issues with different browsers. Try updating whatever browser you're using, and steer clear of IE at all costs. I highly recommend Chrome, I've never had a problem with anything with it. Hope this helps.

That trailer is like the conglomeration of all action movie cliches EVER.

I saw 'marines' and 'the vault' and naturally proceeded from there.

I can't believe nobody has made a jump the shark joke yet.
Done and done.

That just gives me an image of sharks wearing baggy clothes and too much jewelry, hanging out on the sidewalk staring down people that walk past.
