Discovery at PAX: Retro City Rampage
Thursday, September 9th, 2010So that hypothetical question I asked last week? Turns out to not matter so much, because while I was at PAX, I saw that there's a game in development that is very similar (but superior!) to what I was thinking about doing. It's called Retro City Rampage. It looked like a blast!
A parody of the open-world action genre, Retro City Rampage takes modern game mechanics and mashes them into an authentic 8-bit experience.
It's one half fast paced arcade game, the other half a hilarious story mode!
It's all the driving and shooting you'd expect and a whole lot more! With missions that twist pages straight from classic game experiences, you get to re-live and rewrite history in a way only a modern anti-hero could!
When it comes to enemies, weapons are only the beginning! Put on your boots and jump on their heads! Toss 'em around to knock the rest down! Become truly unstoppable with awesome power-ups!
Through its world, characters and missions, Retro City Rampage lampoons the entire 8-bit era --from its games to the TV, movies and pop culture!
