Shadow Warrior 2?

Retr0gamer

Seems there's some noise about a sequel to the most racist game ever made. There's not much yet, just the image and weird steam green light page:

I hope it's not **** but more than likely will be.

Holy crap! Flying Wild Hog were the developers of Hard Reset, one of my favourite shooters of the last few years, a position held mainly because it harked back to the days of yore when shooters were actually fast paced and challenging. The game wasn't perfect but after such an effort they'd certainly be on my list of studios whom I'd like to see take a crack at such a fun IP.

Good to hear, has my hopes up a little for this game now

Surely any of the games based around the first of the Star Wars prequel trilogy are inherently more racist than all other games?

A new Shadow Warrior should be great. It won't be, but let's savour the anticipation while we can.

Do you want to wash Wang or do you want to watch Wang wash Wang?

I never actually got to play the original. Always wanted to though, and it looked very Duke Nukem 3d, which was one of my favourites at the time.

This completely slipped under my radar.

It was released at the end of the September.

Anyone play it?

Don't really like how they Americanized Lo Wang!

You no mess with Lo Wang!

It was quite fun in an incredibly daft sort of way. If you enjoyed Hard Reset then you'll probably enjoy this as it feels fairly similar but with more sword.

This along with Rise of the Triad were big surprises for me. It's a really enjoyable game. It plays more like a modern shooter than the old shadow warrior but it has all of the old school silliness.

Lo Wang is actually the best thing about it even if he is americanised, he's just a great character. While Duke Nukem Forever just came across as crass and offensive they made Lo Wang out to be just a complete dumb ass which works great. He's likeable and funny.

Just ordered this on amazon, only £12.99, looking forward to playing it, don't know how I let it pass me by years ago, I'm a massive 3d realms fan. This ps4 version definitely seems to have went under most people's radar

was it a hd remake, a reboot or a re-imagining? I got it for $6 on us psn and played a couple of levels. It was grand but not really my cup of tea. much preferred wolfenstein new order.

Can't wait for this , played the first game but not much talk about the sequel here. Looks better than the first game and has 4 player co-op, over 70 weapons and each level is randomized. Seems to be out on PC next month and consoles sometime after.

Here's 4 videos with plenty of gameplay

I wasnt impressed with the last game at all, I lost interest in the first area.

This looks infintiely better though, and interesting level design like the original.

Pac1Man

Loved the first one. Hilarious at times. I'm a bit pessimistic about the random levels of the sequel though.

This little gem could be the surprise hit of the year as it really looks like an awesome game.

Metacritic 82 critic reviews 9.5 user reviews

Spear

I've been playing it, and I'm about 70% through. It's more like a first person Diablo, with bits of Borderlands in it. Socketable items, health bars on every enemy, multiple kinds of elemental damage, lots of crates, etc. It's very noisy chaotic fun so far.

Smaller developer, publisher and budget I imagine. The release of the game and its DLC on the PC probably helped offset the cost of the subsequent console releases.

On PS4 its €35.99 for the shadow warrior collection which includes the first game

Don't think so

This is down to €22 on Steam if you're on PC.

Pac1Man

I can't believe there's no physical release!
