This weekend’sSup Holmes?was a strange meandering treat. Still clad in myboxing referee uniform, I got home just in time to get the show rolling with Brian Provinciano, developer of the upcoming XBLA/PSN/WiiWare/Steam/PS Vita titleRetro City Rampage. That combination of excitement and frazzle led to an unusual conversation, one that led to a few reveals from Brian aboutRetro City Rampage‘s final secrets.
After a bizarre rant aboutCubivore, Brian seemed to feel enough pity on me to leak a hint or two about one ofRetro City Rampage‘s secret vehicles. Could it be… Donkey Kong? That seems nuts for aGTA-style sandbox game, until you remember thatRetro City Rampagealready features The A-Team, a rabid radioactive Mario, a group of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cosplayers, the arm from Bionic Commando, Sonic the Hedgehog’s shoes, the Batmobile, and hundreds of other entertainment industry icons and parodies. It’s still pretty crazy to think about riding around on Donkey Kong though. I wonder what he smells like? Probably fruit-filled poop.
Here’s some more fun, including hints about modern game characters set to make a cameos inRetro City Rampage(including‘Splosion Man and company), talk of the “Image comics of videogames”, and a badassTango and Cashstyle hug-out.
