... its sad to see people so not interested in their own game, when we see footage of Borderland's Director Randy Pitchford he's really into his game but right now with this game.... you can see the none interest in there eyes.

its probably not a buy but it atleast deserves a rental. It looks interesting. Its not like other third person shooters out there. It really goes for a different feel to it.

I really wanted to play House of the Dead: Overkill with the female character.  If I squint and tilt my head this might be enough to satisfy.

The demo's ridiculous fun. Three minutes of people throwing-out hipster slang is not.

everything about it just feels so played out, so unoriginal, which just further annoys me because they use this whole trailer to say that it is original.  I dont know I guess I just have zero interest in this game.  
 
And yeah their "hipster" commentary is very........... desperate or something.  Its not good, I'll just say that.

Yeah, cool and detached does not sell a game. Very hip, and very 'blah'. The shooting looks SO much like Max Payne too, or maybe hitman. Either way, for all their talk of originality I'm not seeing it.

Even though I'm sick of them saying how "hip" or "retro cool" this game is, the soundtrack does sound pretty nice.

Can't see this doing too well.  It reminds me a little too much of Stranglehold.

Been playing some stranglehold since I saw some footage for this. THIS definitely looks like it'll be better. Stranglehold can be fun but it definitely has  its problems.

I'm not sure about this game. It sounds conceptually good, and it shows lots of potential, but it has a lot of less then promising things going for it. For example, any footage you've seen in a space smaller then like, 12x12 looked awkward and uncontrollable.

Music is the only good thing I'm hearing out of this.  Soundtrack may be worth a buy but game seems like a rental.

I'm not a particular fan of Tarantino, but this game shows just how difficult it is to pull off what he does in his films.  By comparison, I now respect Tarantino a bit more.  WET has the same intent as something like Kill Bill, but it just does not execute that grindhouse pacing nearly as effectively.

Looks kind of cool, but I was turned off by their spamming of worlds like "hip" and "modern". Seems like they are going for style over substance. I get an image of some 50 year old business men sitting in a room and saying "We need to make something that the teenagers like. That Tarantino guy seems to be popular, do that, but as a game." Just feels so fake, sort of like when big studios make 'indie' games to seem cool.

From what I've seen, looks to be a much more stylized version of Stranglehold with a strong Kill Bill flavor to it.
 
The demo I played was... So-so. Jumping and sliding felt a bit stiff and it's obvious you're supposed to do all your shooting while doing other stuff rather than just running around (where you just shoots a single gun). The mechanic of targeting separate targets with the guns felt somewhat ineffective.
 
But that's just me though.

I had to stop watching when I heard 'retro cool'. Still might play the game but couldn't deal with the wankery.

I just played the demo, and by the end of it,  i was getting into it. The music is definitely a bullet point, no doubt why they're focusing on it for the marketing blitz. The gameplay was okay, pretty generic, but when the kill bill sirens kick in, all the colors go to red and blues, it caught my attention. Very much like No More Heroes, just with more generic gameplay (quicktime events, hoo-fucking-ray), better musics and graphics. Not a buy, but Wet is on my radar now.

They try too hard to be *hip", "sexy" and "tarantino". Too much grain filter, too little game.

I get the feeling this is going to be a very average game at best like Stanglehold, though the soundtrack wasn't bad from what I heard in the demo.
