Gaming News - G4TV: Square Enix Announces Gun Loco

​

Square Enix this morning announced a new, third person shooter, Gun Loco. It's exclusive to the 360.

Not only does Gun Loco have an awesome name, the third-person shooter features 12-player multiplayer, and boasts of an action-packed, humorous style. Check out the screenshot above: Loco, right?



I'll let Square Enix itself describe the game for you:

At the farthest reaches of the solar system, a collection of the craziest criminals in the universe are incarcerated on a remote prison planet with no walls and forgotten by society. In this long-abandoned world, the only rule is anarchy, as each faction fights in a bloodthirsty race for survival, power and freedom. Through several seven climate zones and numerous stylized maps, players must fight through the ruins of the world’s previous civilizations, taking on each region’s inmates in a frantic and frenetic struggle to survive.

Featuring third-person, sprint-action shooter gameplay, players can assume the roles of unique and memorable characters in a game that redefines the run-and-gun shooter. While pursuing enemies and being chased by their opponents, players must make use of the sprint-action play by running, jumping, ducking and vaulting, using the environments to their advantage. With a powerful arsenal of weapons at their disposal, each character comes complete with their own kill move, coupled with a mocking take-down taunt to ridicule their victims. The frenzied and furious comic style gameplay comes into its own with full 12-player online multiplayer matches across the planet, with a range of game modes and multiplayer arenas.

The bad news: You'll have to wait a bit. The game isn't scheduled to hit until 2011. We'll have a photo gallery up for you soon.
