Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard

 Written by John Scalzo  on October 03, 2008

News: Eat lead and parody video games all in one swoop.



D3 Publisher has announced that they will be bringing Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early 2009. Eat Lead is being developed by Vicious Cycle (the team behind Dead Head Fred for the PSP) and will attempt to parody some of the strangest moments from the 80s and 90s in the video game industry.

D3 has even gone so far as to create a fake history for Matt Hazard where it becomes obvious that the game will hit heaviest at games like Duke Nukem, Contra, Turok and GoldenEye. From the sounds of it, the third-person shooter could really strike a chord with old school gamers:

In Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard, videogame action hero Matt Hazard gets his chance to prove once and for all that he is the king of shooters when the new owner of mega game publisher, Marathon Megasoft, gives Matt his comeback role starring in a new title for next-gen consoles that pits him against all of his memorable foes from videogames past. In the world of Eat Lead, however, everything stops being a game and becomes reality when it is clear that someone is using the new game to bring about Matt's death once and for all. With only the mysterious "QA" to help him, Matt must fight against a legion of Marathon Megasoft catalogue of videogame characters to keep it from being "Game Over" forever.

Eat Lead pays homage to the games of yesteryear with a menagerie of classic enemies such as zombies, space marines, cowboys, genetically mutated super snipers, and more and an expansive level environment design that reflects videogame history in a next-gen package. The game fires on all cylinders with explosive artillery and combat moves to help gamers escape from a variety of predicaments including radically-changing environments during gameplay via "hack effects" Hazard's nemesis uses by altering the game's code on the fly. Throughout the adventure, players will utilize a strategic cover system dubbed "point and cover," upgradeable weapons and different interactive melee moves to attack and outsmart foes.


We'll have more soon.
