Doritos Unlock Xbox finalistHarms Waywill be released for free on Xbox Live Arcade next week. It’s creator, Justin Carpenter, wanted to mixBurnoutwithCall of Dutyto have a game where both racing and shooting are required. And now, after a year in development alongside Bongfish, it’s ready to go.
Joystiq has a short interview with Carpenter. It’s there that he explains that the game went through a few changes, though his original idea is still intact.
“One of the biggest and most noticeable changes was the vehicles and the environment,” Carpenter told Joystiq. “It feels a little more like theDirtseries thanBurnout. The shooting mechanics were simplified quite a bit too. They now feel a little more like the chopper gunner segments (from the kill streaks) inModern Warfarethan the normal gameplay.”
Whatever it’s like, it sounds awesome. You create a team: one racer and one shooter. Shooters sit in turrets picking off your opponents.The trailer explains it well. I want to be a racer. I suck at shooting, but I’m great at racing. Racing knowing that all eyes (and guns) are on you sounds like a blast (pun?). This sounds awesome for afreegame.
When you download it next week, if you like it, be sure to vote for it atunlockxbox.com. The original 8 game submissions have been narrowed down to this game and one other.
