New Saboteur trailer displays intolerable blimp cruelty

Listen, Mr. Saboteur. We appreciate what you're going for here. Liberating France from Nazis is about as noble as goals get -- but your methods are questionable. Did you know that fewer than 100 zeppelins exist in the world today, placing them near the top of National Geographic's "Top 10 Most Endangered Means of Transportation" list? Well, it's true, and every time you buffet a blimp with a ballistic missile, that number dwindles even more.
Oh, don't try and deny it. We caught your latest act of blimp violence on camera, and placed it in the latest trailer for your self-titled video game, The Saboteur. We're fine with the street racing and the Nazi shooting -- but let's try to keep the rigid airship exploding to a minimum, okay?

Wow, this game kinda looks Bad-Ass. It just moved up a couple notches on my holiday games list.

the pilot was in the attic the whole time.

looks just like uncharted 2 gameplay... which isnt a bad thing

I don't mind playing as Nathan Drake's German ancestor.

@Vman The protagonist is Irish...

Oh Joystiq, you're so sassy.

guns, cars, bazookas and punching people in the face. Dam this game has it all

Ach, das humanity!

Ach du lieber! It looks too much like Mercenaries 2 which sucked ... hopefully this won't since it does look cool.
Gavin @ Oct 21st 2009 2:11PM
I think it would at least be chuckle worthy if they dumped Mercs2's controls. Something about having to accelerate on face buttons and use both sticks to steer and a shoulder button to fire just felt cumbersome...

ummm...i guess a game where you play as ben affleck and kill nazis would be pretty cool

Looks more like Paul Rudd to me.

Reminds me of Uncharted 2 in a good way. If the reviews are favorable for this game I'm getting it instead of Modern Warfare 2. I'm not going to play the MW2 multiplayer anyway so I can wait to get it if necessary. This game along with Just Cause 2 are my under the radar goty darkhorse candidates.
I'll either decide not to get R&CF ACiT or Modern Warfare 2 ... not sure yet. First things first and Saboteur has to be a good game. I think it's going to be just that.

The voice acting was laughable...
Jimmyjimjim @ Oct 21st 2009 6:49PM
How was it laughable? I didn't hear anything worse than any other game.
Gavin @ Oct 22nd 2009 12:42AM
the accents just didn't sit with me? one of them sounded like Spike from Cowboy Beebop trying to fake 'i'm french'

Here's what I got out of that trailer:
0:39 - Painful fucking rope burn.
TrendGiveAfuck @ Oct 21st 2009 3:18PM
Looks like what the latest Wolfenstein should have been!
BunnySlapper @ Oct 21st 2009 3:27PM
I really wonder just how many action movies/games/other media have included the phrase:
"I'm just gettin' started!"
We need something new here, maybe:
"I'm still in the process of starting!"
"I've not yet completed the startup phase!"
"I've yet to reach the middle or end of my current action!"

Too bad the world has turned so pussy that we cannot use the actual swastika in video games. Even though you are fighting nazis the entire time. WTF. If you are fighting nazis, in WW2, you'd think you'd see some nazi flags from time to time, instead of the stupid cross.
Meh @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:17AM
HOLY SHIT NAZI KART
