Developed by Artifical Mind, WET is an all new, highly-stylized third person shooter game for the X360 and PS3. You play Rubi. An all around badass armed with dual pistols and a sword. You were assigned a job from a weathy man to bring back his son, which unfortunately, turned out to be more than what was expected. Now, as Rubi, your on the run, and your misson now is to track down the man who betrayed you, and annihilate anyone who gets in your way.
There are three types of gameplay, ranging from 360 degree bulletime shooting, sword fighting, and Tomb Raider like acrobatics across various platforms.
Presented in retro style cinematics, orginal 70's inspired soundtrack, and an action-packed story written by 24 writer Duppy Demetris, WET looks to be a very promising game in the shooter genre. Look for it Fall 2009. Videos.
This game so far does not impress me. It tries to be a fast-paced action hack-n-slash that presents itself like Quentin Tarantino made it as a third grindhouse movie. Graphically it's sub-par and I haven't really seen anything gameplay wise that stands out as inventive or new. I think I'll pass unless this game somehow does phenomenally well.
I saw this at E3, didn't impress me either. If I wanted to play a hack-n-slash style game, I'll just dust off the ol' Devil May Cry 4. And if I wanted acrobatics, I'll just play Dead Or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball. Wait...no acrobatics in there, they should have some. : \

surreal breast physics are good enough to fulfil my needs -_-'
After playing the demo, I think I'll buy this game, or at least the soundtrack. It looks like it has something of a skill curve, and if Godhand taught me anything, it's that the epitome of gaming is combo/countering the crap out of a bunch of campy thugs to surfer music. You all know this to be true.
This game tries way too hard to be cool and grindhouse, and the story and gameplay suffer for it. Honestly, I think anyone looking to buy this game would have their money better spent on the soundtrack of the game instead of the game itself.
The story is the very last thing I'd buy it for. I don't care if it suffers, hell, it's supposed to suffer, but the gameplay seemed to have potential. Probably not worth $60 unless the game is insanely long, but advice noted.
I only played the demo on my PS3 after a week and a half of playing, I got bored. BUT I might get it later on. But its definintly one of the games that I'm really expecting.
