Bad Planet Kickstarter

[Jul 12, 2012, 8:37 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

This Kickstarter is looking to fund Bad Planet, planned as an episodic game for Steam and eventually consoles. The hook here is that this is based on a science fiction comic series written by Hollywood actor Thomas Jane (The Punisher/Hung), who is pitching the game at Comic-Con. Word is: "This is a real passion project for Jane and a great IP to be turned into a game. The story of Bad Planet is one of an apocalyptic invasion of alien Death Spiders and a centuries-old alien warrior, called the Convict, hellbent on stopping them. The game would be a third person action game with brutal, combo-based melee combat. Delivered in episodic format (2-4 hours each) it would hit Steam first, then hopefully also XBLA and PSN."

You know, it's not really related to the story, but does anyone remember the old Bethesda game that eventually got canned, 10th Planet? I vaguely remember that shaping up to be one hell of a game! Wonder if they'll ever try to resurrect old games that didn't quite make it to release? That would be major awesome! Especially if they finally got around to finishing and releasing Babylon5: Into The Fire! God, I'd give a kidney for that game!

Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury would be good too! Or maybe that Warcraft RPG that they shelved to build WoW instead? So many possibilities and here we are rehashing the same stuff, like movie reboots! Lets get some originality in here, eh?

And now that I think of it, what about that cool space-sim Red Storm was working on way, way back (forgot the name of it)?! WE NEED MORE SPACE SIMS! ...and NAVAL SIMS! One reboot I'd like is another Task Force 1942...ah, it's nice to dream, ain't it? Instead we're supposed to get excited over another Call of Duty...and ANOTHER Medal of Honor...and another Max Payne and ANOTHER Far Cry...(well, actually I'm looking forward to the next Far Cry but anyway)... *sigh*
