Yes that would be the show... Although in Britain is Born Survivor.Aiden_the-Joker1 said:
As I said... This gameDJmagma said:if i recall, there already is a man vs wild type game.
Oh please please please, by the forest moon of Endor, make this game die a horrible, lonely, ignominious death. What's it going to be about? You drink your own pee then die? Or you tromp around killing things, then go spend the night in your hotel room? There's already WAY too much Bear Grylls-related media in the world, we REALLY don't need a game, do we?
Man vs wild is such a fakeish show, sure some of his tactics are helpful but the guy himself is a big phony, you want a real survivor show? Watch Survivorman. As far as the tax thing goes, come to Canada instead 
Man vs. Wild game? I can't imagine that will turn out well.
Also feel obligated to say Michigan sucks! Woo!

Theres nothing to prove the next Governor wont be just as pants on head retarded as Granholm. Engler was just as bad before her. At any rate, how is this specifically her fault?
Anyways, Im in agreement that Michigan cant afford any lawsuits. Its amazing we are even still a state at this point with the unemployment rate through the roof and people leaving the state in droves.
If thats true, you'll die of dysentery in the first ten minutes.Rawker said:You could virtually drink your pee! what's the downside!?! In all seriousness thought, I bet it'll suck. Something in my gut says it'll be some form of turn-based, like Oregon Trail.Onyx Oblivion said:Purely on the fact that there is a Man Vs Wild game:
My thoughts exactly. Do you get to recreate iconic Bear Grylls stunts?Armored Prayer said:
There was this one really awesome scene in the show, where Grylls throws a sharp stick at a fleeing rabbit and breaks its neck, killing it instantly. That's a great set-up for a third person shooter.
Haha. Great, they're going to teach survival techniques to people who (odds are) won't ever be in a situation where they will need it...Rawker said:You could virtually drink your pee! what's the downside!?!

OT: I enjoyed Oregon Trail though thought it was odd because I visited the end of it in real life with locals and said "I finally made it to the end of the Oregon Trail with out somebody getting eaten by a bear". They (the locals) looked at me odd so I mentioned that I was referencing the game. They had no idea it existed. BTW, one was in her early 20's.
Actually that vid and the next one makes it look kind of good. Unforgiving, atmospheric, voice acting sucks but that is kind of part of the 70s/80s vietnam movie feel. (platoon, full metal jacket, apocalypse now, etc)cursedseishi said:
Interesting, and sadly there seems to be no easy resolution for this problem.
While I'd agree the company in question should probably qualify for tax credits, I can see why if they are trying to support small developers they are concerned about liscences and the ownership of them. While this seems straightforward, the system could also be abused by a big company "fronting" a small company with a liscence to get tax credits it couldn't otherwise obtain to devleop a major game... in effect manipulating the system into giving tax breaks to a level of business not normally permitted. Approving these guys for a tax credit could establish an awkward precedent if a company like say Lucasarts decided to form a sub company called "Bozo Entertainment" which is independant on paper to develop a Star Wars game, having obtained the liscence dirt cheap due to the 'generosity' of the Lucas estate or whatever. If it was done right the precedent could make turning them down despite all common sense a headache.
The big about them never having awarded the credits is supicious though and makes me think it's a PR gimmick that they never plan to deliver on. That bit does make me think someone should be taking a closer look at the state was well despite this making a degree of sense. I can't help but wonder if perhaps this is a front for holding a bunch of money allegedly for "credits" or whatever that is being used for something else.

What the hell does Uncharted have in common with Man vs Wild?DJmagma said:
Man vs. Wild is a show about a man
OT: I don't really bother with the show, and a Man vs. Wild game appeals to me even less. Still, I guess it'll be interesting to see how they manage to make stuffing random flora and live fauna into your mouth an interesting game mechanic.

But still, i would want to try it.. Since im a fan of Bear Gryllz
These laws are really fail. Give them the Tax credit or you mite as well just stop altogether michigan!
