American McGee's Bad Day L.A. trailer

[joule]

Are you prepared?

The cel-shading could be good and it's from McGee, so yeah, looking forward to it.

American McGee Presents: Bad Day L.A. is a third-person action adventure game that will weave a wild storyline and a unique art styly.

Bad Day L.A. will plunge the player into a deep and comedic storyline that plays off the "fear culture" of modern America with a tongue-in-cheek comedic twist. Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Bad Day L.A. will satirize the City of Angels and disaster films while combining a fantastical art style, groundbreaking collaborative gameplay elements and a heavy dose of dark satire to create a truly unforgettable experience.

In Bad Day L.A., players are thrust behind the shopping cart of a homeless man turned city-saving crusader, Anthony Williams, a reluctant hero who left behind the privileged life of a successful Hollywood agent after losing his self-respect.


Anthony survives in his cocoon of destitution and isolation in Los Angeles until it all suddenly goes downhill and Los Angeles comes under attack from zombies, terrorists, earthquakes and other untold disasters. Facing complete annihilation, Anthony is reluctantly forced to begin a cynical quest for salvation. Using only his street smarts and the environment to stay alive, he must save the very city he loathes and its citizens whom he detests, and, in the end, escape what has become a very Bad Day in L.A.

Developed and published by Enlight Software, Ltd.; conceived, designed and executive-produced by American McGee, Bad Day L.A. is expected to be available in Q1 2006.

Woah, didn't see this one coming! Looks very funny. There's a lot of truth to the overall statement of that video.

 

[mortiz]

lol, one of the statements that popped up on screen was "Homosexuals are getting married". Oh noes, homosexuals are going to kill us all.

You do understand it's a joke?

This is exactly the kind of game the world needs. And I'm serious when I say that.

I've been keeping my eye on this since its announcement. Can't wait!

ADDED: Like the last message as well. "You could choke on chewing gum".

Quoted for emphasis. This game looks great!

It's always comforting to know we could choke on chewing gum.
