WET (Review)

Sep 15, 2009

For those short on time, refer to our review of Wanted. It’s the same kind of game – short and bittersweet, poorly made but confident, filled with ideas but none of them strong enough to carry the game.

Wet is as dumb as it always promised to be – fourteen stages of constant blasting with the occasional platforming interlude. ...

SonYou had the chance to interview the creative director Patrick Fortier of WET during a presentation of the game at Amsterdam's Jimmy Woo club.

On the question if there are plans to release DLC for WET, Fortier responded:

"No, there are no plans for DLC. We have decided that we should put our efforts in the game itself and try to make it the best experience possible."

Fortier also said "I believe that spreading games (and content) via internet is the future, but the real disc will never dissapear. Even though the internet has many advantages, people will always want to have something they can touch."

WET dev: 'Not enough faith in Activision' (News)

Jul 23, 2009

After Vivendi's game division merged with Activision last year a lot of titles got cut by Activision. Among those titles was the action packed shooter WET from developer A2M. During an interview with Dutch website Gaming Only at an event for the game in Amsterdam today, the game's Creative Director Patrick Fortier, told a different story. He says that after they heard that Activision would not be publishing all of Vivendi's titles, A2M took matters into their own hand and bought back all the rights from Vivendi. Fortier said "we (A2M) did not have enough faith that WET would be at the right place with Activision". He also added that they did not want to wait to find out if the game was still going to be published by Activision or if it would be dropped.

When talking about new publisher Bethesda Fortier said "we are really happy with Bethesda Softworks, they haven't limited us in any way". During the time WET did not have a publisher A2M had several parties that were interested in publishing WET. They chose Bethesda, because they felt best at home with them according to Frontier.

How wet will Wet make you get? (Preview)

Apr 29, 2009

When relaying states of personal excitement, a lot of game journalists like to talk in terms of wetness. Like: "This game looks so awesome it made me wet". We do our best to avoid such analogies on GamesRadar. However, when Bethesda showed us Wet recently we thought we'd get into the spirit of things by measuring how 'wet' we got through the duration of the demo. So, FYI, here's a breakdown of how wet all the bits of Wet made us get. ...

Bethesda Softworks Rescues Wet (News)

Apr 24, 2009

The last casualty of the Activision Blizzard merger is Wet. A2M's stylish shooting game was announced last year, then went dark after Activision Blizzard dropped many Sierra properties.

However, Wet is far from dead. A new trailer spontaneously surfaced with little fanfare a few weeks ago. A2M is still working on the game, but who is publishing it? Sharp commenter NickyD (thanks!!) pointed me in the direction of Famitsu. That's right, we're getting news about a Western developed game from a Japanese magazine. *Looks outside, checks for a blue moon.*

WET Website Mysteriously Down (News)

Apr 21, 2009

The Website for Wet, a new action game from Artificial Mind & Movement is down and has been down for at least two days according to Google's cache of the website. Wet, for release on the PS3 and 360, is a game featuring Muscle-for-hire Ruby, a so-called "problem fixer" who gets double-crossed by her latest client which causes her to unleash her fury across three continents to find the man who left her for dead. No news or explanation for the site's downtime is given on Artificial Mind & Movement's website, leaving one to speculate on weather it is being updated for E3 or fundamental adjustments to the website, changes to the character, or storyline alterations are underway. Only the words "In construction" in French and English along with the sphincter-like logo with the initials A2M below remains; which could leave one with a slightly tainted sense of humor a little giggly.

Wet PS3 Exclusivity Denied (News)

Jun 18, 2008

There have been rumors on the web that a UK game retailer is only showing PS3 cover art for Sierra's hotly anticipated title Wet and therefore it will no longer be available for the Xbox 360. Today, the Bitbag received an e-mail confirmation from Sierra/Vivendi that Wet will not be a PS3 exclusive title. We put a little more confidence in this response than prior "we can neither confirm or deny" statements we have heard from other publishers in the past.

Wet - hands-on (Preview)

Oct 17, 2007

Oct 17, 2007 You'd be forgiven for thinking it's a bit gratuitous. After all, christening a game Wet when its main character is a big breasted, kick-ass female killer called Rubi who packs more weaponry than a Texan household, instantly sets the mind racing towards obvious, lower-region moistness gags and blatantly sexual marketing ploys. But you'd be wrong to be so hasty. You see, rather than being a mere excuse for developer A2M to pack enough polygons into a D-cup to make Lara feel ...

The new contender for most pneumatic videogame mistress is Rubi, and shes not content with merely pegging it around dingy caves. This girl gets her kicks on the streets. Taking up the leading role in Wet, Sierra's newest third person adventure title, Rubi looks like she has been watching Miss Croft very closely and developing up some of her own little tricks along the ...

Aug 21, 2007 Meet Rubi, the star of WET. She's a problem solver, and if you've got the cash she'll shoot and slice your worries away. Expect Rubi to sport the usual set of skills you'd expect from your everyday action star. Armed with two pistols and a samurai sword, she jumps, slides, wall runs, and slows things down with bullet time. But it's the slick way Rubi moves that sets her apart from other gun star heroes like Lara Croft or Tequila. She moves with style, and blasts away at bad guys ...
