Brothers in Arms 4

Journal Entry: Tue Jun 7, 2011, 7:42 PM
I did some artwork for the new Brothers in Arms game back in April, which was just announced at E3. It was internal art for Gearbox through another company, so I'm not sure it'll ever see the light of day officially, but it was fun to work on.

However, the game itself is getting extremely mixed reactions from E3. The concept is sort of a Inglourious Basterds take on the Brothers in Arms experience, and I think a lot of people are seeing it as a cheap rip off instead of a cool new direction.

I'll reserve my judgement until I see some gameplay, but I'll definitely put up the art if I get the all clear from the client at some point. It's a sort of hero shot of all four characters, really gritty, not quite as Team Fortressy as the trailer.

I haven't actually played a BiA game since the first one, but I've heard mixed things about each once since. Who knows, hopefully this one comes as a surprise and is fun.

Other than that, just keeping busy with my work for Lionsgate. Loving working on film so far, everyone is awesome and I get to try a lot of cool things, even putting my After Effects skills to work. Won't be able to show anything 'til probably next March at the earliest, but the design work is a blast.

Anyone else got any cool news?

Catch ya soonicus!

Only question... Why would anyone care if it was inspired by Inglorious Bastards ?

May games in the past have been heavy inspired by other things.

To me I (without knowing anything else about it) I can see a very fun 4 person shooter that is about shits and giggles; which sound rather fun to me.

My cool news consists of this: Still broke and broken, but I finished a good book yesterday. :sarcasticclap:

Not trying to sound like a whiner or a douche, but trying to help you keep in mind just what an opportunity you've gotten and how you shouldn't take any of it for granted, young padawan :):horns:

Yeah does look like Team Fortress. But I dunno, I've never played any of the games, or seen Inglorious Bastards. I am getting kinda sick of seeing Nazis in video games too. Even though I rarely play games with Nazis in them.

Cool news for me is I am getting a lot of exposure with my music lately (you know, a lot for an indie electronic guy in the US). And I've started a coulpe of projects with some great dA artists to do concept art for a story I've been working on this past year. So yay :)

Can't really have an opinion on Brothers in Arms as I've never played any installments of the series. Not to mention they're probably not my kind of games, haha! But speaking of video games, I like the idea of the successor of the Wii (Wii U = WTF?) having a tablet controller where you can draw and stuff. And the graphics on it look pretty amazing, but it's a shame they didn't announce any first party games for it so far. Oh well, in the meantime, I'll enjoy my 3DS. I'm more of a handheld video gamer anyway. :nerd:

I always get excited when you tell us about potential art postings haha. As for the game you worked for, I have no comment as I havn't played any nor did I see the trailer. I don't think I have anyway, I've been catching snipets of E3 on peoples computers the last 2 days but havn't actually watched any myself. And I assume you can't tell us which movie you're working on, but I want to know!

As for me? Not much. Still editing my book mostly, although I almost finished the first draft of the movie script I've been writting during my down time at work (which I've had a lot of recently). Oh, and my work just hired new people that I've been training the last two days, which means sitting back and telling them to do the work I normally do haha.
