Who can’t get enough of Uwe Boll, the loudmouth German director who hates everyone and everything? Good luck for us, then, as Mr. Boll is in the news again, bless his heart. The man is creating a video game, and he wants to call it 1968 Tunnel Rats. Swoon.
That up there is the game’s trailer. It looks to be a standard first person shooter, complete with sound effects straight out of GoldenEye for the N64. Oh, exploding helicopters! Intense!
Who knows, maybe the game—it’s scheduled to come out this fall—will be a simple romp that’s not altogether horrendous?
Wow from crappy movies based on games to crappy games based on soon to be crappy movies!
I’d be surprised if it does not include a cartoon image of Mr. Boll himself running through the tunnels punching the enemy into submission…
Wow. Uwe Boll made a terrible game! What a surprise from a man known for making terrible movies. Maybe if he made the movie adaptation of his own games, the result of a terrible reimaging of an already terrible experience in a different medium might somehow be good? If only the world were so binary.
More likely, he’s pandering to people online that would buy his game just to say that they bought Uwe Boll’s terrible game and found it terrible. I’m sure it will be accompanied by alot of videos of Uwe Boll himself saying it’s the best video game ever, other video game makers are terrible, he’s better than them at making games, it’s easy to make games, most developers are art-less nerds who have never really lived life and just played video games instead and their games show this by just regurgitating old video game ideas or developing features that are only interesting to people exactly like them who do nothing but play video games and don’t really say much if anything at all to the general public.
Look for something like that and the game will be horrible. Not just bad plot and ugly graphics but, technically a bad game with bad controls and glitches everwhere. I doubt that he’ll spend the time to QA the game.
All this is to say that it’s by design. It’s almost a meta game in that by making a terrible game he’s communicating his feelings of superiority and disdain that he’s always had for the video game community in his movies but in a direct medium.
