They also enlisted Henry Rollins as the voice actor, and he has the acting talent of a brick in this game. Oh, the cool cowboy outfit was also scrapped, because the developers wanted to make the main character more accessible or something like that. A year later, the promised PC port came out, and the planned Gamecube version was quietly canned somewhere in between. Kind of a shame, because the initial idea was rad as hell.Īnyway, what the game ended up being was a mediocre FPS, that wasn't very successful after its release for Playstation 2 and Xbox in 2003. But for some reason that didn't work out, and the game was redesigned. The ultimate space cowboy outfit, if you ask me. And to sweeten the deal, your character had a big Mexican hat, a popped collar, a slick visor, and a small cape over half of its torso.
There was also some kind of plot that the player would get roped into along the way. At some point, they seriously described it as "GTA in Space!" The game was supposed to have a reputation system to represent your standing in the galaxy, and catching bounties would make you climb up the ranks. They wanted to make an open world game about being a bounty hunter in space. Somewhere around the year 2000, Warthog Games had the same idea. Shooting guns, getting in fights, drinking in shoddy dive bars, being the strong arm of the law, that's the good life! Now, if you are at least a little bit like me, you probably think that it would be sweet to combine those two cool things, right? Boy, do I have good news for you! But you know what's also pretty cool? Bounty hunters! Gruff people that live a life on the edge, always on the hunt for some perp and the money on its head.
If you don't think that's cool, then you should see a doctor because you're broken. Space has aliens, lasers, spaceships, funky planets, and lots of rocks floating in an endless void. You know what's cool? Space! Don't try to act like it isn't, because you know damn well that it is.
