Legendary Thinks Outside "The Box," Hits Pre-Release

Spark Unlimited's new game Legendary has shed its extra title text, released a new developer trailer, and is headed to a pre-order near you. Hopefully this game is a recovery from Spark's last foray into gaming with their somewhat-less-than-stellar Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. "Legendary sound fun - Pandora's Box is opened, and this series of vast, destructive beasts are unleashed, and reluctant antihero and art thief, Charles Deckard, finds himself having to fight it all. What to think?! I say: forgive and assume the best. Because I would rather a world where the game with giant golems and rabid werewolves, with griffins soaring in the sky while vast mythological beasts knock down skyscrapers, be excellent."

Comments

Even the developers thought the title was stupid.

I am working on a UT3 modding project with one of the environment artists that worked on Legendary.
From what he tells me, pretty much everyone on team that wasn't in management thought the extra title was stupid.

RTFA. it used to be called Legendary: The Box. clever pun to remove the extraneous name and have a storyline that appears to be 'cool.' and also to work "pandora's box" into the description [letting demons out of the box].

somewhat-less-than-stellar??

No, TP:LOF was very-much-less-than-awful. The opening cutscene is interesting, but then you start moving around and shooting. After that it becomes an extremely generic shooter with Nazis and bugs. BTW, why is this a story? What is news about a run-of-the-mill (yay hyphens!) game being released? And why am I commenting on it??
