Why Square’s Gun Loco characters look so creepy

A look at the models used for Square Enix’s new ‘sprint shooter’

Words: on September 10, 2010

Square Enix seems ready to take you to some dark places with their upcoming 360 exclusive, Gun Loco. You know, the one with the half-naked man wearing a filthy bunny mask, the guy who probably gives evil clowns nightmares. The game’s uniquely creepy look is thanks to a partnership with Brothersworker, a company that designs and produces incredibly detailed (and strange) figurines. Check out these images of the handmade Brothersworker models, which were scanned to create the characters in the game."

Gun Loco is set in a prison for insane criminals on the edge of the solar system and is described by Square Enix as a ‘sprint-action-shooter’ and a ‘character-driven, blood-fueled race for survival and freedom.’ If you missed the most recent gameplay trailer, you can check it out below. It looks like a bit of a cross between MadWorld and The Club with characters racing and shooting while looking awesomely ugly all the while.

    The black character is INCREDIBLY stereotypical.

    I'm really digging this game. Just hope the characters are more Joker-like insane than just balls out crazy. Some may not see the difference but I do.

    This looks like a pile of crap. The Club was the worst game I've ever played. Ever. And this looks to be an almost carbon copy. Lame.

    maybe another cult classic? people are usually too busy having boners over call of duty 72 or halo reach 5 to notice anything else that wasnt born from a mold, looks interesting though.

    Jesus this looks awful. Square needs to stop venturing outside of turn-based RPGs.

    Looks cool, but it seems almost like it'll be all multiplayer... Unless they manage to get a GREAT AI going, cause that looks like pretty fast paced gameplay.

    Why? Because anything remotely involved with Donnie Darko is creepy. Brrr...

    The concept sounds amazing, but I don't know how Square thinks it's going to pull it off. Perhaps this will bring about the age of true East-West-fusion games, or it will be shit. Only one way to find out.

    Just what I like. Cartoon-ized action. Looks cool.

    That huge ship reminds me of the huge drill platform near the end of Borderlands. Took me forever to find the elevator to the top of it though.
