Brothers In Arms: Furious 4 Is No More

Brothers In Arms: Furious 4 Is No More

Not canceled, but no longer a Brothers in Arms game

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 04 September 12 at 08:49 | Credit to METAL MIN0TAUR

Sometimes your best bet at finding or revitalizing fame is to undergo a name change. Prince did it years ago, Lana Del Rey did it more recently, and people are still trying to figure out the thought process behind "Snoop Lion". However, if you're trying to establish a new identity for yourself, a name change can go a long way. The video game formerly known as http://www.trueachievements.com/Brothers-in-Arms-Furiou....htm has changed so drastically, according to Studio exec Randy Pitchford, that it no longer carries the Brothers in Arms moniker.

Pitchford told Kotaku "that when the game re-emerges it won't be a Brothers in Arms game at all" and separating itself from the series allowed the studio to "go wild with new features".

Details on what the game has become or what it even will be called haven't been announced, but Gearbox's Community Day is next weekend, September 15th. It's possible we'll learn more about it then. Rumors were swirling before this update that the game might have become a next-gen title, but that has been neither confirmed nor denied just yet. Until we learn more about what the game will now be, feed your Tarantino side with what it used to be.

Forgot about this game, but it looked fun from what I saw. It just NEVER was a Brother's In Arms game, or at least it didn't look like one.

a good idea..BIA prides itself on being an authentic WW2 game not this cartoony thing.

I am glad they took Brothers in Arms off the name because it definitely wasn't one.

IT NEVER WAS A BROTHER IN ARMS GAME!!!!
Thank goodness they finally accepted that and stopped pretending that it was. Anyone that believed that it was probably never played BiA or knew what this travesty was about. It can die silently now.

GREAT!!!!!

I liked the look of this new game, but I probably wasn't going to play it on my main account, as then I would need the older one on 360 (I KNOW, COMPULSIVE DISORDER!!!)

I tried playing the one from 2008 (?? I think it was 2008) and it was absolutely terrible IMO. The graphics, gameplay etc.

Looking forward to this one.

This is in no way shape or form related to Brother's in Arms series it is purely based in WWII (So you may as well compare BiA to CoD2). This is a cartoony beat 'em up that involves over-stylised killing with chainsaws and the like with Nazis as the main target of destruction. Gearbox hoped to cash in on BiA and put this under the name of it, kind of like if I called the new CoD, Battlefield 4. Now be off with you.

I think they've done themselves a favour by doing this to be honest.
I like what I like and I don't what I don't.

the original trailer made it seem a bit like TF2 from the look, but considering that was all the back in 2011 there were probably some major differences between then and now.

But that doesn't mean that something like this could not still be under the Brothers in Arms logo, thus the definition of a spin-off: an extension of the game which normally features something different for the series. I thought this was interesting since it was something like Inglorious Bastards: The Game and would have no problem with it. But as you can see my point of overreaction is shown by how you are behaving by calling persons "kids" and that I am inferior by not being on your side. Look at you Mr. Big Man, calling everyone a child who disagrees with you. You sound like the type of person who would start a temper tantrum if anyone disagrees with you. Sorry mom didn't give you your pacifier

Glad to hear it, I was vehemently against this being associated with Brothers in Arms. Speaking of which is there any word if the Series is dead or on hiatus?

You obviously don't get what BiA is about and the huge difference it has with Inglorious Bastards. As said it would be like mixing CoD with BF same modern combat but two very different games. If you don't understand that then don't bother replying, its that simple.
