This is a movie tie in. Adjust your optimism accordingly.

Publisher's description:

Based on the 3D supernatural action-adventure film, R.I.P.D., you and a partner will take up the holsters of two lawmen dispatched to the otherworld to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side. Top-notch teamwork and an arsenal of badass weapons are the keys to defeating your enemies and bringing order back to the world.

Important takeaways?

Third Person Co-op featuring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds

Quality:

Developer is Saber Interactive (Old School Games). Their previous highs involve Inversion, Timeshift, and God Mode. Three original IPs; that are competent games in their respective genres. Unfortunately they are also responsible for the abysmal game tie in for the movie Battle: Los Angeles.

Impressions/Reviews: (sorry about the late update, the game seems to be flying under the radar so I want to wait for some more reviews.):

Impressions:

Force : Gives a through overview of the player abilities and game mechanics..thought God Mode was decent. (OP note: Plays as Jeff Bridges like all good hearted people would.)
Giantbomb : Asked people to jump in and join Vinny (s/n MindCavity) anytime after the Quicklook debuted. It's an okay video game, otherwise. (OP note: Vinny is a good hearted person.)
TotalBiscuit : Does not like R.I.P.D....thought God Mode was a terrible game. (OP note: Did not play as Jeff Bridges.)

Reviews:

slasher_thrasher21 : Worse than DARK. (OP note: SR21 did not play as Jeff Bridges)
Karak : Refused to review it.
Co-Optimus : ...it looks bad for a $5 game...I turned the game off and took some aspirin, and by aspirin I mean delicious booze. 1.5/5

Let's see if this OT breaks five pages.

[Omzz]

But there's actually a game for this???

 

[Alrus]

Out of all the summer blockbuster, this one got a tie-in game? The hell?

Also the movie is going to bomb even worse than The Lone Ranger.

 

[Senator Soufflé]

Steam version could come with Jeff Bridges hats for Team Fortress.

 

[Nibel]

Holy shit @ those jaggies

 

[Casimir]

This game has Jeff Bridges and Multiplayer?!

Basically why I made the OT.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Well, that certainly is a video game.

 

[Hag]

wow the name of this game is godlike

 

[Splatt]

This just makes me wish Call of Juarez: Gunslinger had Jeff Bridges as the main character.

 

[SlasherJPC]

I'll make a video review for it tonight. Oh yes.

 

[MormaPope]

This looks like The Club. Like straight up it looks like a sequel to The Club.

 

[dekline]

I'll make a video review for it tonight. Oh yes.

Lol. I'm interested in seeing this.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

It would be a tragedy if Giant Bomb doesn't do a Quick Look of this game.

 

[Casimir]

This looks like The Club. Like straight up it looks like a sequel to The Club.

I actually enjoyed The Club for what it was.

Spoiler

I also didn't pay for that game.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Holy shit @ those jaggies

You can poke someone's eye out with those things!

 

[SmithnCo]

Unfortunately they are also responsible for the abysmal movie tie in for Battle: Los Angeles.

Oof.

Oof.

 

[SlasherJPC]

This took the cake for the worst game I've played this year in about 5 minutes of play and that's saying something as I've played the following this year.

Star Trek
Ride to Hell
Dark
Aliens Colonial Marines

 

[Kyleoty]

Holy shit @ those jaggies

Not to mention Ryan's Thumb goes through the middle of the gun handle, Heheheee

I'm so sorry.

 

[Sinatar]

This is a reskin of a game called "God Mode" and was developed in 3 months.

 

[Busty]

Universal will be on it's hands and knees using all the hundred dollar bills in profit they get from Despicable Me 2 to mop up the red ink on this miserable bomb.

 

[GolazoDan]

It would be a tragedy if Giant Bomb doesn't do a Quick Look of this game.

It's singing Vinny Caravella's name.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Huh, God Mode wasn't half bad. Slightly more interested now...

 

[Whompa]

but seriously, what the hell is going on in this game?

 

[Creaking]

How many naughty ghosts can there be?

I... I think they're just shooting people here.


...I have to go now.

 

[Casimir]

but seriously, what the hell is going on in this game?

Jeff Bridges uses bullets to change the undead back to dead.

 

[Senator Soufflé]

Is Bridges in the top 5 of NeoGAF's waifu list?

I know that Idris, Fassbender and Cumberbatch are the Holy Trinity. Is The Dude number 4?

Jeff Bridges created that list so others could pretend like they could compare to his greatness.

 

[Karak]

I refused to review it. Co-optimus did a review if anyone is interested.

Ah, that sucks. I enjoy your reviews.

 

[Karak]

Ah, that sucks. I enjoy your reviews.

Hey I really appreciate that. I had a chance but got to see some preliminary gameplay and felt it was best to move on.
You will see some awesome big stuff in the next couple weeks though when it comes to reviews and more importantly early footage. What I am playing(NDA can't say the name) will be 'knock your socks off" awesome. State of Decay awesome. I just couldn't be forced to stop that to play...this game

 

[SlasherJPC]

R.I.P.D. The Game Video Review Short and simple.

 

[Courage]

It would be a tragedy if Giant Bomb doesn't do a Quick Look of this game.

Jeff and Vinny. It'd be another Ride To Hell: Retribution.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Apparently Atlus USA is publishing this too. Way to keep up that stellar taste in Western games!

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Is an elaborate plan to make Japanese games look better.

 

[Whipped Spartan]

Every time I see the movie trailer I think about how it looks like a off brand MIB.

 

[SlasherJPC]

So happy Atlus publishes awesome games... this will hopefully be quickly forgotten....

 

[TheSeks]

Shush you, or we won't get Persona 5: Prepare to Fuse edition.

 

[brandonh83]

Holy shit @ those jaggies

I've been playing through Bioshock Infinite on my very incapable PC looking like this, but at near 60fps (NSFW according to some in the Steam summer sales thread where I first posted it) : http://i.imgur.com/VoRqujS.jpg

I can handle RIPD

Bioshock 1999 mode... Literally.

 

[grosvenor_92]

Another candidate for worst game of the year ?

 

[ezekial45]

How the hell did Atlus get stuck with this?

 

[exmachina64]

Apparently Atlus USA is publishing this too. Way to keep up that stellar taste in Western games!

Par for the course. They published Game of Thrones last year.

 

[Lijik]

Bioshock 1999 mode... Literally.

:lol

 

[nbraun80]

Why the silly MS jab in the OP?

 

[catabarez]

Looks like a sweet game.


Only cuz of Jeff Bridges.
