Dead to Rights: Retribution dev diary is loaded with dog fighting
by Griffin McElroy

Don't let the headline throw you -- we don't mean the bad kind of dog fighting. We're talking about the kind of dog fighting where well-treated, justice-loving canines attack gun-toting criminals who pose a threat to their master, whom they love and remain eternally loyal to. When cast in that light, attack dogs aren't menacing or controversial -- they're just heartwarming companions (with enormous, razor-sharp teeth).
Check out the dev diary above to see Dead to Rights: Retribution's man-eating puppy in action. Oh, also, there's a human hero who uses guns and other traditional methods of justice-serving, but that's not really as noteworthy, now is it?

Holy sh*t.
Am I the only person who forgot this game was coming out?
I'm not trying to be an ass, it just completely left my mind.
Dan Davis @ Oct 24th 2009 8:51PM
Dear Joystiq,
Please stop with the misleading titles.
Love,
Michael Vick

*inaudible insults*
tylur_durden @ Oct 24th 2009 8:53PM
Looks absolutely terrible. The only good thing about that vid is that there's a dev giving a voice over - now you have a person to point the finger at for its shitness.
damnreds @ Oct 24th 2009 10:31PM
theyve got good ideas and good presentation, but from what was shown the ai needs serious work.
Mr.Ironic @ Oct 25th 2009 9:07AM
Yeah the AI is shit. There's no illusion of intelligence - see first guy shot and 2nd guy slooooowly turning round. wtf. 2nd point, in combat with a group and none of the others attack him at the same time.
It's a shame because the rest looks good. It's not just that AI is bad but you see this from a lot devs - they don't pay enough attention to the *illusion* of intelligence - basically what the player is fighting against. And they really should.
I think the first time I saw FEAR I was pretty impressed because they made it seem like there was something deeper going on. That and the squaddies from half life1 but it's been a while since I've seen that.

Michael Vick hates this Dev Diary.
1251 @ Oct 24th 2009 9:04PM
DP PARTY DUDE!
But- are they using Unreal3 for this? Lacks colors, big time..
dgknight500 @ Oct 24th 2009 9:22PM
Wow, that looks terrible. And what the hell is wrong with those animations? They look very bad for some reason but I just can't put my finger on it...
Maverick Saturn (Igor) @ Oct 24th 2009 9:59PM
Once again, helmets are none existant :O
gamepete64 @ Oct 24th 2009 11:12PM
He runs awfully fast for a human being.
OnToGloryReturns @ Oct 24th 2009 11:44PM
Wow, that looks lame.
First one is a classic tho.
ripslymemc @ Oct 24th 2009 11:53PM
if you're bringing a dog into combat with armed soldiers, can't you at least give the dog some armor?
Z (uburi) @ Oct 25th 2009 3:20AM
DLC: Dog Armor.
kentuckyfried @ Oct 24th 2009 11:53PM
For a moment there, I thought it was Sefton Hill narrating.
The game looks like it might be fun, if stealth is properly incorporated.
You have to cut these guys some slack. the first Dead to Rights game sucked. They're trying to come up with a better iteration on the whole premise.
Big D. @ Oct 25th 2009 1:07AM
The first Dead to Rights was amazing on PS2 (not on Xbox, controls were weird on the xbox for some reason). The second one I never played because I hear it's pretty glitchy and had a bad story. This one looks really fun. The character running and the darkness is kinda lame but other than that it looks awesome!
gaddes @ Oct 25th 2009 2:42AM
Watching this just makes me want Nathan Drake to have an optional attack dog pet in Uncharted 3.
Emperor_Den_Den @ Oct 25th 2009 4:05AM
yah and name the dog tucker or just simply tuck.
useedems @ Oct 25th 2009 12:36PM
I don't think a dog would work. With all the gravity-defying jumps and climbing Drake does on an hourly basis, there's no way a dog could keep up. You'd have to give him an attack parrot or a fairly large monkey.
xgarryx(warXroutine on LIVE and PSN) @ Oct 25th 2009 3:03PM
i am woefully unimpressed sad cause i want to this game be awesome :(
maybe it needs more time??
jianjlyman @ Oct 29th 2009 12:53AM
Man the first game was great! Idk about this tho. And why is it in the future? lol
