I mean, when you use David St. Hubbins for the story's picture, who wouldn't be able to put their finger on it.Malygris said:
Jazz Fusion! I'd pay for a Saucy Jack game....
Isn't "The Ripper" a Bethesda trademark already??? At least as an item in a computer game. I'm not completely sure how trademarks work.
Urgh... Okay, so I get that this is EA trying out new things - I like that. It's clearly an original IP, so seem to be reaching out to a new audience. I like new things.
What I don't like is Visceral. I absolutely hate what they've done with Dante's Inferno so far and I fail to see how the end-product could in any way make me feel differently - my issue is with the game's context, not the game's action. And what might they be planning now? Jack the Ripper?! This is another concept that sounds like a good idea, but actually isn't. Imagine a game about Jack the Ripper, what would happen? 4 missions? 5 bosses? 2 intense letter-writing mini-games? In order to create a good game, Visceral are going to have to do what they did to the Inferno and just completely destroy the source material. I don't like this.
I can imagine this playing out like a cross between Arkham Asylum and Manhunt.

I too thought it was the Take2 game being remade. Wish I still had that game, the campy acting was entertainment enough. Only unlocked 2 of the possible 6 endings, didn't get the "real" ending either.
One wonders why Thompson and Fox News keep continually getting so very worked up every time they see so much of a hint of sexuality show itself in a game. You'd think they were almost jealous...but surely Thompson, that champion of moral fiber, gets laid once in a while, yes?

If they have you play as him, I can only imagine the GTA-esque controversy the game will bring. Which means it'll sell like hotcakes. And who knows? Maybe it'll be fun
If this is really a game about playing AS The Ripper or an ally of the Ripper, assuming we're referring to Jack The Ripper of course, Jack Thompson and his cretins are going to have a field day.
If it's not about playing as Jack- the serial killer, not the insane lawyer- then EA will be safe. But all the same...I hope this doesn't turn out badly.
If they show the sex, expect so much RRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE from the crazy lawyer, Clinton and Fox News.
Well Clinton's hubby is busy getting with interns, Jack Thompson would only get prostitutes and then he'd kill them JUST TO PROVE GTA IS REAL and Fox News...well, I have no idea what their sex life is like.The_Oracle said:One wonders why Thompson and Fox News keep continually getting so very worked up every time they see so much of a hint of sexuality show itself in a game.

Well, except for Glenn Beck who is rumoured to have raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.
/I think I just offtopic'd.
//Shuite.
///A Jack the Ripper game sounds just interesting enough for me to buy.
////Assassin's Creed with sluts. What's not to love?
Maybe it'll be an Assassin's Creed ripoff. Only with more prostitutes and fewer Templars. Well, hopefully fewer Templars.
Also, fingers crossed for Christopher Walken being involved somehow.
Only with more prostitutes and fewer pies? (There's a filthy pun in there somewhere, but I'm not going to look for it.)Lord_Ascendant said:
