There's a DS version coming too, apparently.

I can't wait. :|

Not like I'm going to buy it anyway, but no John Williams score = no sale.

BuckRobotron · Feb 17, 2005

Jaws? Bah. I'd rather a videogame in which I can find new ways to torture Richard Harris as Orca while getting bonus fluke rubs from Bo Derek.

Zelda-Bitch · Feb 17, 2005

By developer of the Award-Winning Ecco the Dolphin series you say?!! Consider me interested.

Too bad it's from Majesco, or else it would have been an instant pre-order :lol

Uh, Appaloosa are in Palo Alto, and are originally Hungarian. They used to be called Novotrade.

Appaloosa is not Japanese. They're from Hungary I believe. Curb the Japanese hate pal.

It's also coming to Xbox and has Xbox Live functionalty...or at least it was the last time I heard of this before it apparantly became a licensed title based off Jaws. Nice to hear it's still in the pipe though...vid for it looked interesting but I'd thought it had been canned by now.

Crud.
Blows my joke.

...but still... 25 Dismemberment points!!
:lol

Aren't they publishing Phantom Dust in the US as well?

NichM · Feb 18, 2005

I remember being demoed the Sole Predator game a ways back -- the dismemberment stuff is either pretty cool in a sick way, or pretty sick in a cool way. If you were careful and precise, you could eat the legs off a guy, and he'd still try to swim away with just his arms. Also, once I swallowed most of a swimmer, but missed his hands, which individually began to float toward the surface. It was (maybe unpleasantly) detailed!

atomsk · Feb 18, 2005

is Bloody Waters also still coming out?

Isn't that the game before it got transformed into Jaws? In that case, no.

no, that was Sole Predator...

Bloody Waters is a different game. gamefaqs only has it listed coming on PC now, with no publisher
