New Shadow Warrior from Hard Reset devs - out now

If new images are any indication, Devolver Digital and Flying Wild Hog are working on a new Shadow Warrior game.
Just a few minutes ago, an anonymous tipster pointed us towards an unlocked FTP under the ShadowWarrior.com URL. The images within have a new Shadow Warrior logo, complete with a dead Yakuza member (see above). Below is the logo itself (also found here).
Along with the dead Yakuza and logo images are several PNG files with “Flying Wild Hog” in the title, which means the Hard Reset developer is presumably involved in the remake or sequel.
Furthermore, ShadowWarrior.com has what appears to be some concept art on the front page (in fact, it’s the same background as in the above image, but sans-dead Yakuza).

Another DNF treatment, or something actually good this time? Hard Reset was ok, but if they're trying to make this "serious" and "realistic", the devs will all need to commit seppuku.

These fuckers need to get a whole lot better to even earn the right to watch Wang wash wang, let alone make a game about Wang washing wang. Hard reset wasn't exactly full popamole, but it was too short and had a shitload of problems.

In before Day-one Purchase.

I'll be surprised if this turns out good.

In the current industry climate the return of "You no mess with Lo Wang" seems unlikely.

Shadow Warrior one of the most underrated FPSes of all time, along with Outlaws and NOLF 1. I would LOVE to see a sequel with the same chinky-chink chop-socky racist approach.

I just don't see how it could be done today. FPSes are now too dang serious for their own good.

Well, apart from Borderlands, of course.

 

[Darth Roxor]

On one hand, I want to yell "Whooooo want-a some Wang"

But then I remember how fucking bad was Hard Reset and reconsider.

 

[evdk]

Well, apart from Borderlands, of course.

Which is just too damn stolen for its own good.

"You have no honor! " "A ninja knows no fear."

First thing to do would be to hire a guy doing quotes of Wang. He was perfect, just like Duke or Caleb. The shareware episode should be a guide to Flying Wild Hog how to make good single player experience. If they will go with serious business route it will be a failure. I must try Redneck Rampage, didn't remember anything from it, only terrible sewer level.

 

[DeepOcean]

Judging by Hard Reset, thier idea of old FPS design is to kill alot of monsters on a monocromatic corridor.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Doubt they'll be able to make levels of Build engine complexity, doubt they'll make it as crude as Shadow Warrior, and doubt they'll make it as gory as Shadow Warrior, but I'm still happy someone's attempting it at least.

In before game is racist.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

In before game is racist.

Disgustingly racist cultural appropriation fueled by supremacist white privilege.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Hard Reset was a shitty Painkiller ripoff. Why should I be excited about this?

 

[Darth Roxor]

I only have a single shred of hope because it's being published by the same blokes that published Serious Sam: BFE. So at least there shouldn't be any (big) retardo publisher-induced PCness.

They didn't need a publisher to fuck up SS3.

Shadow Warrior is like Doom: the kind of games that doesn't need sequels ; rather it needs mods, lots of mods, a fucking buttload of mods.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

"Is your refrigerator running? Better catch it then! Hahahah!"

"I'd rather kick ass than solve puzzle!"

Yeah, extremely anti-PC game with some neat features, but overall many of the levels felt bland and uninteresting. Not like Duke3D or Blood at all, but at least better than Redneck Rampage. I knew something was wrong when I could fire the nuke missile and hide behind a ROADSIGN to escape from it alive.

 

[Haba]

SW deathmatch was fun. Ah...

 

[evdk]

I knew something was wrong when I could fire the nuke missile and hide behind a ROADSIGN to escape from it alive.

Considering the type of game that was that's a definite plus.

 

[shihonage]

I sense this game is going to be Max Payne: Shadow Warrior. In other words, they're going to bethesda this franchise.

 

[Machocruz]

No chance it will be as fast or crazy as the old games, so who cares

ARE YOU DENYING THE GREATNESS OF DOOM 2?

 

[taxalot]

Doom 2 is a mod of Doom 1.

Guise. Guise.

I just imagined Bioware doing a Shadow Warrior game.

I... I think I need to lie down for a while...

I actually liked SW more than DN3D (but less than Blood).
