[Infernal Mass]

this game is due out a day before my birthday festivities will occur. I'm a fan of Rockstar North..and i believe they'll make another great game to add to my library.

Information is scarce..i dunno what it's gonna be like at all. I've read nothing but rumors. Some people are saying online play others speak of a manhuntish type engine minus the stealth..

The Story


The place is New York City. A large subculture of gangs owns the streets at night. There are gangs of every race, income level and sex, wearing everything from top hats and tails to leather jackets.

One gang, the Gramercy Riffs, is headed by Cyrus, a charismatic leader who has molded his men into a tightly-knit crew of karate experts. He has a plan to unite all of the gangs in the city and make up an army that would be 100,000 strong and could easily take over the reins of power in the city. He calls together a giant conclave where nine unarmed envoys from every gang are sent to hear his plan.

The Coney Island Warriors are a bit wary of the idea, but nevertheless, nine men are chosen to make the long subway trip to the Bronx:

Cleon. The leader. Tough.
Swan. The War Chief. Quiet, laconic by nature, a natural military tactician.
Rembrandt. The artist. Quick-witted, emotional.
Cochise.A rough and ready fighter, a good soldier.
Vermin. He complains a lot, but he's always there.
The Fox. Small, kinetic. He moves silently, can climb anywhere.
Cowboy. Always wears a stetson. Lithe, quick, amiable.
Snowball. Tall and lean, the face and body of a Masai warrior. He rarely speaks.
Ajax. His attitude is cantankerous, at best. Rebellious with more than an overtone of cruelty.

As they round the corner, they are met by the sight of a thousand gang members, dressed in the multitude of colors of the hundreds of gangs that they represent. Ranged in a circle around a high plat form are representatives from the Blackjacks, the Electric Eliminators,the Firetasters, the Moonrunners, the Saracens, the Turnbull A.C.'s, the Zodiacs, and a hundred other gangs. It's an awesome panorama that gives the Warriors a spine-tingling pride that they are part of all this.

Cyrus appears and the murmuring quickly ends as his hypnotizing voice rings out. His call to unite and conquer the forces that have kept him oppressed is met with wild cheers.

But before he can finish, a shot rings out and Cyrus crashes off the platform. He has been killed.

The Fox has seen the killer, Luther of the Rogues, but Luther has spotted the Fox as well. In the panic set off by the murder and the arrival of a strong contingent of police, the Fox slips away into the crowd. Luther, acting quickly to protect himself from detection, begins to shout that it was the Warriors who killed Cyrus. Almost immediately, members of the Riffs fall upon Cleon and bludgeon him to death.

The word is given out to all the gangs of the city that the Warriors must pay for their crime. Unaware of the danger surrounding them, the eight Warriors plunge into the night and soon find themselves faced with battling the police, rival gangs and the venomous Luther on the perilous journey home.

It's an original idea to make a game out of a movie that old. I'll keep my eyes open.

[Infernal Mass]

i agree, i've never even seen the movie. I asked my Dad if he had ever seen the film and he got all surprised when i told him they were making a game out of it. It was one of his favorite movies back then.

Rockstar North is starting to turn into one of the most original developers coming to the ps2. You can't really predict what their next move is gonna be.

Just about every one of thier games involves mass amounts of foul language, gangs, and gore . Yeah..they are REALLY testing the waters with this one . Not to mention that all thier recent ventures with the exception of the GTA series have been descent at best and in many cases..rather weak. Rockstar has yet to prove themselves IMO. With trash like Man Hunt and State of Emergency spewing fourth..I cant give them any props. But hey..thats just me I suppose.

Rockstar North, is not responsible for State of Emergency..that game was made by VIS entertainment and published by Rockstar Games.

[Vicious_2003]

Oh ok..got ya. So Ill take that back. I guess that piece of trash wasnt rockstars fault. I forgot all about that. But the rest stands.

[Berserker]

You see developers that make trash, I see developers that try something different.
