The game’s called Strength of the Sword:ULTIMATE, but it might as well be named FAN EDITION since if you compare the list of features we’re bringing this time around to those requested by our friends and fans you’d get 100% match. That's no coincidence, the support we received from the small but passionate community of the original PS3 game has been nothing short of amazing, so why wouldn't we pay them back by listening. People played the game and then sought us out to tell us all about their experience. For two guys that spent years cooked up in a sequence of small apartments working on their first independent game, finally getting it out and seeing people enjoy it – best feeling in the world.

WHAT WE'RE BRINGING FROM THE ORIGINAL GAME:

We’re sticking with the hard but satisfying to master gameplay mechanics we enjoy. Call us old-fashioned, though we much prefer ‘WITH AN OLD SCHOOL ATTITUDE’, but we enjoy our brand of unforgiving mixture of a 3D BRAWLER and a FIGHTING GAME. Beating a game used to mean something to us as we were growing up and we want to give the same satisfaction to the player. We are also deadly allergic to button-mashing and if you get to spend some time with our game, we’ll be happy to see you contaminated with the same affliction. Mind your enemy and environment and plan every move before you execute it with intent and precision. You are a deadly war machine after all.

The entire original game is ported and polished as part of the new ULTIMATE game. Every location, every blood-thirsty monster from the original campaign will be back with as much bite if not more. We're very proud of our critters of various sizes and minds, and can't wait to introduce them to a wider audience of victims.

OK, WHAT'S NEW:

NEW PLATFORM
First of all, we're on the PC now. PC never gets out of style and everybody has one.

PVP MODE

It was awesome to have people compete over leaderboard scores, but nothing resolves the 'who is the best' argument better than an old-fashion PvP. Back in the original game we were more interested in the player challenging himself rather than facing others. Well, since then... lets just say arguments were had inside the studio, gauntlets were thrown, words were spoken that cannot be taken back, so the PvP mode is as much for us as it is for everybody else.

CO-OP

But maybe you don't have a wise-ass co-worker that doesn't realize he's no match for your awesomeness. And instead have a trusted friend to take with you in battle. CO-OP will also be a part of the ULTIMATE experience. After all the minions of darkness come in numbers, so it's only natural that there's a place for a second War Golem on the battlefield.

DARK MODE

The third multiplayer mode (yeah, when we do multiplayer we do ALL the multiplayer), is something that we'll talk about more in the months before the release of the game as it will need more time to refine and then be explained. It's called DARK MODE and it's going to be an AWESOME ASYMMETRICAL PVP MARATHON where one player gets infused with the power of the Darkness and goes on a Wargolem-slaying spree.

EXTENDED SINGLEPLAYER EXPERIENCE

Singleplayer will get polished up and we have several ideas on bringing in the some new stand-alone levels that will extend the lore of the War Golem sent from the Almighty Mechanic in the sky. That also means new enemies with entirely new ways of thinking that will have even veterans from the original game sweating. As always button-mashing will not save you.

I watched it, here are my thoughts of it, completely spoiler free:
No, it's not just bad, it's outrageous!

But first of all let me say I'm not a comic book fan, but I really like movies based on them.
So here I am sitting on the tube (in London) on my way home and I'm pretty sure this was the worst movie I saw in the cinema for the last two or three years. I've got an unlimited card so I watch nearly everything and no, I did not skip Jupiter Ascending (:

To be honest I did hope this can be good! To be a clever film, to be a little different somehow. Well, if I think about it, it is different! Different because normal movies are try to be coherent. They got acts that are balanced. Characters that you care about and if the movie is good you can feel excitement, joy, sadness or anything, really!

Okay, we all know about the things hat happened during the shoot, that the director had been fired. We know that Fox had to do this in order to keep the copyrights. But this feels like an incomplete movie made out of an incomplete script. Maybe they shot it and gave that already bad material to someone who knew how to edit a movie together. When he finished he knew it was bad but didn't have the experience, the talent and the time to make it right. It really feels like that!

Why did I say it is incomplete? Yes, it has really bad looking CGI. That's one thing. But the props! Oh my! I love good production design. When the practical effects, the props and the animation work altogether for good visuals. In this movie you can't find any of this.

The story is completely out of balance. The opening and the middle acts are way too long but they act for nothing: there's no build up for anything really, the characters just do things and there's zero tension. The story in the beginning is one big bad mcguffin. So we got this origin story of these people and after their first sentence you can categorise them. Character development? It happens in an instant because the story demands it! It's laughable. Oh and let me just tell you that this movie has the worst G-man character ever! Really bad actor in a really bad role!
So we have another FF movie that's a complete disaster. You sit in front of the screen and this thing just keeps on going and you can feel they put it together by using a "how to make movies - for dummies" book or something. You can feel they just wanted to finish this no matter what. Like you did with that essay in high school. You knew it won't get an A but at least it's done and you can go and play some more Halo or something.

They used typical panels in the story. But they used them badly. Damn, I do it, I write it down: this is the Grown Ups 2 of the comic book movies. Yes, it's that bad.
