Splash Damage Announce New Title!

It's been a while coming...

A lot of you have been pestering, cajoling and badgering us for details of our next project and previously we've just fobbed you off with some jokey response or stalled for time, assuring you that one day we'd announce the New Thing. Well, thank you for your patience. But you need be patient no longer, for that day has come.

Right here, right now, we're delighted to announce details of our new game along with the first two pieces of concept art. We're all very excited about this new chapter in SD's development history. We think it'll appeal equally to the PC FPS hardcore and the general console gaming public. I think you'll agree, this is the game the industry has been waiting for. Expect a rash of similar copycat titles from other developers as their publishers make them run flailing and gnashing after our bandwagon while we gaze back at them, a hint of an amused smile playing on our lips as we rattle and sway away from them until all we can see is road and all they can see is their own dust.

Stop toying with my emotions. I feel the living relatives of the famous tapir wars of the 12th century may be upset by this.

I don't know. The tapirs around here are quite forgiving, although the smoking one may upset the WHOT (World-wide Health Organization for Tapirs). Also, I must point out that I want to demand a feature. It seems they didn't include Yawn-Activated Remote-control Rockets (commonly refered to as "YARR" technology) which is a serious issue. I hope they'll add it or I will personally lower sales by only buying this game once!

Anyone here did - or so I hope. :stroggtapir:

What, you mean it's *not* serious and it's not going to be produced?! The World Tapir Day Organising Committee objects in the strongest terms to raising the hopes of tapir fans worldwide with this tomfoolery. ;) :stroggtapir: Just imagine - tapirs going on the rampage against loggers, farmers, poachers and the like, whilst gorging on bananas for stamina. That *would* be a good game. -- World Tapir Day: help raise the profile of tapir conservation [url]http://www.tapirday.org/[/url]
