Rocket Riot Trailer

This looks insane.

That looks amazing and reminds me of worms a lot...but with crazy looking explosions. :)

@Dion: Many thanks for the props. I will add them to my internet-respect score :D Not trying to be sarcastic here, I really enjoy seeing people appreciate a trailer and a game I've worked on.

@Damodar: Technically, we're not using a voxel engine (I think, I'm not a programmer) so they're not voxels. And you are definitely right about most people's reaction to the word 'voxels' :P We used the word pixel as a reference to the old school nature of the game and our appreciation of 8 and 16 bit classics.

@Everyone who likes the "Will kill for gamerscore!" bum: Please don't start actually killing people for gamerscore. We don't want the cops to come knocking at our door or give Fox News a new scapegoat ;) We do not approve of murder. We do approve of Gamerscore.

Destruction looks funky.

Aren't those technically voxels though? Or is my definition of that off? Or am I right, but if you said voxels, most people would go "whu..?"? THIS TRAILER RAISES SO MANY QUESTIONS!!

will kill for gamerscore!

Looks awesome!

Props to whatisvisceral.

"I like the style, but zombies, pirates and ninjas? What is this, 2001?

Seriously, 2009 is the year of the motherfucking wizard."



As one of the artists of this game, I can indeed confirm there are also motherfucking wizards in it. But we just didn't want to focus on the whole Harry Potter hardcore multiplayer scene so we didn't put them in the trailer.



And you have deduced correctly that the "zombies, pirates and ninjas" bit was indeed a "joke" about 2001 and the giant swarm of zombie/pirate/ninja games!

sweeeeeeeeeeeet

I wish this is coming to PC sometime, so I can mod it for more awesomeness.

Isn't it kind of ironic how they talk about the pixel being king, and then show you a game using polygons?

This kind of reminds me of the incredibly insane and totally forgotten game Xpilot, which was notable for having massive amounts of pixel shot on the screen.

Looks a lot better than most  xbla games out there, sort of a worms or liero style game, I sort of want it but.... not sure. I could just go play those games is the thing :P Might pick it up anyways.

lol this looks awesum! 

Awesome how everything explodes into pixels, that's how real life should be.

That is one sick art style.

I like the style but I'm not convinced gameplay-wise. That's not to say it won't be good; it's just that I'll wait for the reviews to come in before making a purchasing decision.

Those flying turds remind me of worms too.

This kind of reminds me of Soldat and Worms.

@FlipperDesert   It is?  Oh shit, I better gear up!

"I put on my robe and wizard hat..."

maybe

EPIC!!! "WILL KILL for GAMERSCORE" FTW right at the end. LMAO

I am sold.

Looks actually pretty cool.  Still don't own a console, though.

Doesn't look bad man.

Looks like a flash game but I am digging it. "Will Kill for Gamerscore" at the end makes me hope that there will be easy achievements.

Looks sorta like a fast paced worms game to me.

I like the style, but zombies, pirates and ninjas? What is this, 2001?

Seriously, 2009 is the year of the motherfucking wizard.

Will kill for gram crackers, ha ha, god I love funny hobos. It could be good, depends.

fucking epic

lol awesome 

I'm all for pixels, but I'm not really into how that looks. On the other hand, it might be fun, so we'll see.
