News: It can only be described as Bonnie and Clyde: The Game.
Deadline Games, the makers of Total Overdose, one of my favorite games from the last generation, have announced their newest project. The game will be known as Faith and a .45 and it will follow the infamous adventures of Luke and Ruby, a Bonnie and Clyde-like pair of young lovers/outlaws, as they cut a bloddy swath across the Great Depression.
If their pedigree doesn't do it for you, then this plot summary will:
Faith and a .45 tells the story of Luke and Ruby -- two outlaw lovers destined to go down in history. The duo battles an oppressive enemy force, led by a ruthless, corrupt oilman who's out for their blood. Set in an original take on the Great Depression, one of the darkest periods in US history, the game is a gritty, cross-country epic -- a road journey with guns, a dark army of steel-plated vehicles, and armour-clad pyromaniacs.
"Since we at Deadline have our roots in movie production, we value original stories, settings and characters very highly," said CEO Chris Mottes. "Our previous games are testament to this, but we believe Faith is going to take our creative might to a whole new level."
Faith and a .45 has been announced for "next-gen platforms," but a glance at Deadline's website reveals their next game is coming to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
The game currently has no release date, but Deadline will be presenting it to publishers at the Game Developers Conference in February.
We'll definitely have more on Faith and a .45 soon.
