Ubisoft Set to Deliver Bloody Good Time
Who doesn’t like to see mayhem ensue when they are watching an action film, or a horror movie. I mean, the podcast listeners have heard me rants several times about the awesomeness that is The Expendables. But wouldn’t it be more fun to participate in that mayhem? Well, Ubisoft and developer Outerlight are looking to capture that mayhem with their new downloadable title, Bloody Good Time.
In Bloody Good Time, you will choose a character and do battle across several different movie studio lots, like a spring break beach house or a haunted Vegas hotel. The action plays out as a first person shooter, with players using standard, as well as unique weapons. While you may have a pistol, how about a remote controlled rat-bomb? Yeah, lots of weapons like that will show up in Bloody Good Time.
The strange development for this title is that it is being designed specifically for Steam on Windows PC and Xbox Live Arcade and it will be built using the Source engine. While not used often, I have enjoyed how the Source Engine has stood up over time, and it is nice to see a developer take a shot with something that is not the standard Unreal 3.0 Engine.
Look for Bloody Good Time this fall on both Steam for Windows PCs and Xbox Live Arcade on your Xbox 360. Check the jump for a press release as well as some more screens from the game.

Bloody Good Time takes a new and irreverent approach to multiplayer shooters and will run on Valve’s Source engine, a well-known specialized 3D game engine for classic multiplayer shooters. Bloody Good Time puts players on a Hollywood set, where they get to choose their thrill. From a spring-break beach house, to a horrifying Vegas hotel, players will discover the merciless world of movie studios where anyone can star in a scary Hollywood blockbuster film. There is an option link up to eight players online in this first-person shooter and to have a multiplayer experience like no other.
In Bloody Good Time, players can be as devious as possible by killing other competitors in nasty and unexpected ways. Players can use an arsenal of wacky weapons including guns, a frying pan and even an exploding remote-controlled rat to transform the movie set into real mayhem. In addition, players will be able to choose from a variety of stereotypical B-movie characters, such as the bikini beach babe, the creepy clown and the super jock.
