lols is this the sequel to last years joke haa

InProgress

It may be a joke, but I find it an extermely brilliant idea for a game! And the artwork is also magnificent.

man and i thought it was real

Wendy de Boer

We should torture them until they make it a real game! !!

Or maybe that could be next year's joke: Fooled ya! We were really working on it!

Rox

Awesome. I love the behind the scenes part explaining that each frame of animation was physically modelled as a real statue then scanned, for.. um... maximum quality?

Also the Zero Wing reference in the screenshot.

ae.

thats epic!

Steve Schulze

This is way to awesome not to go into some form of production. I think if Splash Damage aren't going to do any more with it then Polycount should pick up the ball and run with it.

EDIT: Hehe. Look at him go!

Szark

I'd buy that.

kwakkie

haha sweet! Why isnt this on any of the major game news sites like kotaku and such? You guys took more effort than most devs did for their jokes!

Jeff Parrott

Just preordered that badboy! Surprisingly or not EBgames.com was accepting preorders for that. I also preordered Madden 2012 and Call of Duty 8: Modern Warfare 3!

JasonLavoie

Its THAT epic!!!

Mark Dygert

"Baby tapirs love Tapir Wars."

TWilson

Will get her to make a thread in P&P when done

SHEPEIRO

TheWinterLord

Awesome! look at them go!
