Xbox 360, PC in for Bloody Good Time

Ubisoft readying downloadable multiplayer shooter from developer of The Ship; game built on Valve's Source engine set for release this fall.

57 Comments

Upon its maiden voyage, Outerlight's 2007 debut The Ship received critical praise for its unique take on multiplayer shooters, where each person on a cruise ship has to hunt a specific passenger while avoiding his or her own stalker. The developer's long-awaited follow-up will soon see the light of day, as Ubisoft today announced that it will release Outerlight's Bloody Good Time for Xbox Live Arcade and Steam this fall.

Ubisoft hopes Outerlight's next game is a Bloody Good Time.
Ubisoft hopes Outerlight's next game is a Bloody Good Time.

Billed as a new intellectual property, Bloody Good Time takes place on a variety of movie sets, with environments like a beach house or a Las Vegas hotel. The game will see up to eight players slaughtering each other in those locales with traditional weapons (guns) and more unique fare (an exploding remote-controlled rodent). The players themselves will also stand out, with Ubisoft describing them as B-movie archetypes like "the bikini beach babe, the creepy clown, and the super jock."

Like The Ship, Bloody Good Time will run on Valve's Source engine. Source has powered a number of successful interpretations of the first-person shooter genre, including Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike: Source.

@Organbank if you had actually played this instead of making an ignorant comment based on one pic and its perspective which just happens to be first person you wouldn't be saying that the fact is there's no other games that plays quite like this except for the ship. I'm enjoying this game alot more so far. Awesome game that's a refreshing break from the usual fps fare providing a unique gameplay experience and for only $5 everyone should go buy it!

@LozzyRoxx Don't forget the fact that he came to the page of a game called Bloody Good Time to make that comment, I had to say something about it. No point of coming to see something you hate and then saying crap about it to people that like it.

@spank_thru101 Sacrilege against TF2! Though the Ship is an interesting play, maybe, a couple of times.

Kinda bummed...The Ship was neat, though slow at times, but this appears really really redundant. Then again so is TF2, but people love that for its old school quality and straight ahead gameplay.

The Ship was good, if a bit slow moving at times. I think Outerlight could do well from this.

Sorry, I meant I bought the game two years later. Still, I can't understand how the game emptied out like that. There is a fanbase, there just aren't any servers.

I had some of the most amazing multiplayer experiences playing The Ship during it's free trial way back when. When I finally bought the game two days later, it was completely unplayable because there wasn't a populated server to be found. I'm glad the developers are doing another game, but I wish they'd do something to revitalize The Ship's community too.

geez.... some of the comments on this site make me sicker and sicker. You know, you can disagree without resorting to insults - it's OK to have different opinions. You really think by resorting to disgusting insults you're going to make that person think "wow, really? they called me that, so I MUST change the way I think on that subject right now...." ..... yeah right. organbank can displike FPS's if he wants, regardless of whether we all think FPS's are the same or not - perhaps to him, they are. I also think he's wrong, but you don't see me shouting names and profanities. Grow up - all involved.

@organbank Can't any genre be oversimplified that way? I got tired of rpg's a long time ago. Just select this item on a menu and it fights for you *yawn* I got tired of rts games a long time ago, just send some units to fight a battle that isn't even fun to watch *yawn* and so on...

Am I missing something? This sounds like a really cheesy version of Unreal Tournament. What made "The Ship" game so good was the stealth involved. If you took that away, it was just a bad FPS. Why would you take that away?

@mightEone I believe the emphasis is on the SHOOTER in FPS. You do know that FPS stands for first person SHOOTER right? So, yer wow another FPS how innovative.

Someone put down this game because its a FPS. I hate to burst many of your bubbles but there is only so many things a game can do. It's either FPS, Over the shoulder or 3rd person. Take your pic. If you want something more realistic I recommend playing paintball or BB gun war with your friends. I would say buy real guns but that wouldn't be good for your health

@organbank I know right! If games like bioshock have proven anything it is that nothing new can be done in that genre.

@ Flint247 I can't speak for anyone else but as far as I'm concerned when you talk about films, games whatever and that discussion enters into violence and guns, like you are going to make a game with guns about violence and all that there has to be some sort of blood involved. To shoot someone and not have blood is unrealistic. I agree with the Paul Verhoeven philosophy, why have a gun in a scene that doesn't show what that gun does?

@stakex007 In Soviet Russia, change fears you! Yeah, we don't like innovation in the states. Give me the same TV, the same movie and the same game over and over, please. I don't want to risk having a unique and memorable experience! :P

No way, i mean really....could it be ? Could it be that innovation is still alive afterall ? A game that's not a run-of-the mill, generic stew of the same genre for the umpteenth time ? Here is for hoping !

@Lololzy I don't get why you care that he cares, just like why you won't get why I care that you care that he cares. . What he said is true anyways.. People these days are generally obsessed with having gore in games, especially when it's not necessary.

The Ship was one of the most original, and well through out games I ever played... was really shocked to see how poorly it took hold. Guess people weren't ready for a slower moving, non-run and gun FPS. Hopefully this game is just as original as The Ship was, but picks up a bigger following.@aaronfhff123 - Its not made by Valve, but a small company called Outerlight... in fact its not even published by Valve. If you ever played The Ship, you would realize that the game most certainly does not need an M rateing.
