The Saboteur - trailer, videos

[GSH]

And an ... interesting ... comic: http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20091002 .

To see what he looks like in real life, http://www.gametrailers.com/video/lead-designer-the-saboteur/49082 , about the 0:15 mark.

There's also the news post on the comic, which I quote:

“I'm pretty psyched about The Saboteur. The videos look great, and I think that Tom French and his hair will deliver us a really fun game come December. I get the feeling that even if the game looked like crap, I'd want it anyway, just because Tom's hair told me to. Don't agree with me? Have you seen his hair? It's fantastic.

It makes me wonder how wise a decision it is to even have his hair in the same video as The Saboteur footage. It's a show stealer. You know you should be looking at the cool video game they're making, but the hair pulls you in. It comforts you, and tells you that everything is going to be alright. It evokes the security of a long-term relationship and the thrill of a one-night-stand all at once. Tom French's hair could cure Cancer, but it's too busy being awesome.

And yeah, their game looks pretty cool too.”

I was wondering if the citizens would fight the Nazis as the mood of that area increased and it looks like they do when he's fighting there.

That looks good, I'm guessing its just a single player game?

Yeh, the guy mentioned it i think. Kind of reminds me of assasins creed (except this probably WONT be hoot under all the shiny graphics). Nothing to really DO online in those games.

The Saboteur has gone gold: http://www.pandemicstudios.com/thesaboteur/content/saboteur-gone-gold or http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&threadid=104571 . Yes, I worked on that game. I'm no longer at Pandemic (I quit), as I noted at http://www.bzuniverse.com/forum/index.php/topic,10188.0.html . Most of my coworkers from Pandemic are also no longer at Pandemic (they were laid off, see that thread also).

Sab is currently scoring less (71 metacritic) than Mercs2 (72 metacritic), which I think is unfortunate. Sab's nowhere near a perfect game, just better than Mercs2. Or so I thought.
