Postal III Announced [Oct 19, 2006, 10:48 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Running With Scissors' Sharpens
POSTAL III for Xbox 360 and PC is the press release officially announcing
Running With Scissors' first-person shooter sequel, following last night's
indications that the project is underway (story). The
announcement confirms the use of the Source engine, the participation of Akella
as publisher, and a 2008 release date:
Tucson, AZ Almost a decade after the release of POSTAL, Running With Scissors (RWS), the creators behind the dark comedic video game franchise has announced development of POSTAL III, the first game in the long-running series aimed at both the computer and videogame console markets.
Currently in development for the Xbox 360 and PC systems, POSTAL III will employ the Source engine (the same technology Valve® created to drive Half-Life® 2) to deliver a new and advanced technical level of social satire and politically incorrect virtual violence.
"We started this series back in 1997," recalled RWS CEO Vince Desi, "and while the franchise has grown into an international computer game sensation during that time, it has always been our goal to bring it to the videogame console marketplace. For many years I’ve been asked by gamers around the world when POSTAL will appear on console. I’m so proud to be able to answer our fans' prayers."
POSTAL III will include motion-captured performances by a wide array of celebrities – from film stars to Playboy Playmates – as well as a storyline that offers gamers vast latitude in terms of their behavior. "We've always maintained since publishing the original POSTAL that the game is only as violent as the player wants it to be and we're committed to expanding this unique form of gameplay in this next addition to the ongoing storyline," Desi vowed.
Andrew Belkin, Producer for Akella stated “We here at Akella are big fans of the POSTAL series and so being involved in production of POSTAL III is both great fun and an honor for us. In cooperation with RWS talent I believe POSTAL III will be the sickest and craziest game ever! Definitely, this is the first project of such scale and a major step forward for our company”
The player will once again be cast as the nameless "Postal Dude," the star of all previous versions of the game, including POSTAL 2: Share The Pain and POSTAL 2: Apocalypse Weekend. POSTAL III is scheduled for release some time in 2008.

Speaking of which, anyone ever see the movie titled "Max" with John Cusack playing an art collector/dealer that works with Hitler before the war?
never seen the movie but know the history behind it
I had a blast with postal 2, hope they keep the urination game mechanic %). and the long load times where fixed in a patch that had been out for some time, Think I found this in the "must have been at least three fiscal years since the store bought these games" discount bins.

I will buy this game if they make it possible to include a Jack Thompson character model and have him die many horrible, painful deaths.

I am horrified and slightly nauseated about this. How the fuck is RWS even still in operation?
RWS is like the Uwe Boll of gaming. Which makes sense, since Boll is making the Postal movie.
WOOO HOOO!!!!
Now this is real news!
Postal 2 was just incredible fun. You could unzip your pants & urinate on people causing them to vomit, then pour gasoline on them, and throw a lit match on them & watch those fuckers burn. You could beat cops & it had Gary Coleman and whiny Arabic 7-11 guys. TOTALLY AWESOME GAME!!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! MUHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!

They can't possibly have made enough money on their last piece of shit product to have continued all this time and only NOW announce they're developing Postal 3. Vince Desi is a slime ball, I smell mob connections.

Interesting. I'm pretty sure you were forced to kill people in the first game.
Not sure he cares (because he isnt' good at figthing) about M titles.
The GTA games are also rated M but that hasn't stopped Jackie Boy from launching a crusade against them. See, he doesn't really care about the ratings. If a game is rated M, he'll just say that it's marketed towards children and should thus be banned. Remember, logic isn't his strong point.

Say what you want about Postal 2, but that placard cracked me up.

Being asked by one lonely, severely retarded boy from Romania does NOT constitute "gamers around the world."
What if he has multiple personality disorder and is also a Swedish whaler, a German lederhosen-tester and an Indonesian rent-boy?

Ok, whos going to be the one to tell Jack Thompson about this ?
Don't think there is a lot he will care about - considering it will be rated M won't it?

I'm sure Running With Scissors already has; if you have played Postal 2, you will know.

There were some guilty pleasures to Postal 2. By far the worst part was were the load times and small areas.
Probably a 7 hour game that took 15 because of the loading.

....I enjoyed Postal 2 and look forward to this one. I wonder where the setting for this one will be?

In the other topic people mentioned that the first Postal wasn't terrible.
I only played the demo, and I was I guess 17 at the time, but I agree. I had fun with the demo. I especially enjoyed that the cheat codes seemed to be just mashing the keyboard (no, really, pounding the keyboard for a few seconds never failed to give me all weapons.)
Times were simpler, then. It was easier for a game to look modern, as less was required. And it was easier to throw decent gameplay mechanics in. I don't think these guys have what it takes to make a solid FPS.
But I'd take a $20 game made like a true-3D Postal. I miss isometric/overhead 3rd person shooters. From the good games like Crusader to the lesser, more action oriented games like Take No Prisoners and Postal.

All POSTAL games are highly carcinegenic and should be banned by the FDA. ;p

Have we signed up Ewe Boll yet to make this crap into a movie?
What is it going to take to make these idiots stop making this crap? Concept aside, the games look like they're coded by blind, retarded monkeys.
