Retro City Rampage Shoots Out A New 8-Bit Trailer

Retro City Rampage Shoots Out A New 8-Bit Trailer

Welcome to Theftopolis

Written by SgtDigglesworth on 10 June 12 at 23:06

The long time coming Retro City Rampage is shaping up to be one chaotic and fun XBLA title. Included along with the title are some mini-games in which you will play as, 'Splosion Man, the squishy little Virtual Meat Boy, and some other legendary characters.

In the following trailer we can see more of the gameplay, can you spot the references to some of the most classic games from the 8-bit generation?



Retro City Rampage will soon be available to download from the Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1200MSP sometime this Summer.

Can not wait, though im glad they did, looks like they packed so much more. I hope with all the delays they also add a 400g score to it, and break it into little 10g achievements so I play it forever lol...oh 8-bit how i love thee.

Man, I had to watch the video another time just to appreciate all the references they make. I just love the overall feel of this game (As I'm a fan of the older GTA games and well as 8-bit games).

This can not come out soon enough.

Let's see:

- The building zooming up to the cop with his hair flowing (Mega Man)
- Sneaky Snake Crate and Boxes (Metal Gear)
- Pipes (Super Mario Bros.)
- Duck Hunt gag
- The turtles in the sewer (Mario Bros.)
- The sewer's style (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

And probably plenty more I didn't recognize. This game will be fun. =D

Ugh.You people serious? I thought the music was one of the best things about the trailer. (The SFX where a bit loud though)

I didn't realise there were going to be "cover mechanics", but it's really hard to tell from the trailers shown so far just WHAT EXACTLY THIS GAME IS! (maybe this game is actually everything, I guess it could be)
