Bammsters Rated-R

We have a brief discussion on Net Neutrality in the US and CCP’s new job opening for a community manager, then follow that up with a look at some of the games due out in December before jumping into an interview with some of the makers of Velocity Brawl, a fast-paced shooter with ricocheting projectiles currently in development.

This week we’re joined by the gents behind Velocity Brawl, Boolean Technologies. It’s still early days for the game, which started life as a HalfLife II mod, and we get the early scoop on all the juicy bits!

Focusing on that core, fun gameplay mechanic of pure shooters, set in a visually TRON-inspired world, Velocity Brawl is first and foremost about that moment-to-moment joy, with a physics-engine coupled in to allow not-rocket-jumoing for movement.

Theres not a set release date for the game, but expect to hear more this team as development progresses!

You can catch some early-prototype footage from the game over on our YouTube channel, along with trailers for the games mentioned in the Future Proof segment!

EA managed the impossible, getting Console Peasants and PC Master Racers to unite in a common front against a shared enemy: EA.

Before we get to the juicy bits, Jolly had G around to talk about EA’s fustercluck of a release…

Note: Since we recorded this, there’s reports of physical sales of Battlefront II are down 60% compared to the previous version.
