Interstellar Marines devs open 'The Vault' to 'The Public'
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.

Space Marines... yeah we def need another one of those games

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?
Courtney @ Oct 11th 2009 6:24PM
I believe that these are actually interstellar marines, or so I've heard.

The Vault is made in the same game engine I use. :) Now that it's been posted here, tons more people will install the web player plugin. Huzzah!

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.

What's your game?
Exemplar @ Oct 11th 2009 11:58AM
I gave that vault thing a spin.. I don't know about you guys, but is everything supposed to be invisible like Predator's active camo, or is it just something buggy on my end?
BlaqueBeird @ Oct 11th 2009 5:52PM
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.

"OS X in general - Shader transparency bug - some objects are transparent. Fixed in the next Unity release (2.6.0). ETA: Mid October."
Lame..
rocksox901 @ Oct 11th 2009 12:10PM
That trailer is like the conglomeration of all action movie cliches EVER.

Spose shooting sharks makes a healthy change..........somewhat..........
liujiao @ Oct 11th 2009 12:18PM
wow great news
Dr. Bradwart @ Oct 11th 2009 12:36PM
I saw 'marines' and 'the vault' and naturally proceeded from there.
Rhamsey @ Oct 11th 2009 1:59PM
I saw interstellar marines and vault and was hoping my Fallout Halo fan-fiction was finally being picked up.

Candy Gram
FestiveTragedy @ Oct 11th 2009 7:12PM
Wait a minute you're not a candy gram, you're that land shark everyone has been talking about!
Jose [Steam & PSN: Assmar] @ Oct 11th 2009 12:57PM
When I signed up for the Shattered Horizons beta, I thought I was applying for this game. That's pretty much all I can say about that right now.
Chas Winterbottom @ Oct 11th 2009 2:28PM
I can't believe nobody has made a jump the shark joke yet.
Done and done.
Xvnine @ Oct 11th 2009 3:22PM
Street sharks just came into mind...
Avatar @ Oct 11th 2009 5:54PM
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.
