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."

Nuff said.
This guy's the limit!

It's like chumming the water.
'Loose' is when your pants are three sizes too big. 'Lose' is when you misuse 'loose'.
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.
As opposed to Games for Linuz? C'mon, even OSX has better games available.

If the business model sucks, how can they ever expect to produce anything of quality? ...especially in a supposedly creative environment.
I will bend like a reed in the wind.
"Rabid werewolves?" Really now, as if being a werewolf wasn't bad enough, you also have rabies? That's just unfair! Not to mention that rabies would only cause the werewolves to be much shorter-lived.
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].
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??

I just hope they don't run into a horrible bad guy, who is uber-powerful but instead of confronting them directly sends his progressively stronger minions after them one-by-one until finally showing up himself for a huge final battle.
