Okay, anyone not directly involved with developer Running With Scissors put your hands down.
That’s OK, between the digital Steam release and the special “masterpiece” boxed edition from the Postal Games website I’m sure RWS will sell enough copies of Postal III to justify its relatively long development cycle. Maybe it’ll even get a little Christmas love from people mistaking it for Portal.
From the official press release:
“Postal III, the outrageous third instalment in the legendary POSTAL franchise is finally coming to town” said Vince Desi, scary mall Santa and RWS CEO.
Not even an Al Gore weather forecast could have predicted the difficulties in seeing this project through. When we started development, Cheney was President, Bin Laden was rubbing his magic lamp to bad Pakistani pr0n and Obamacare wasn’t but a dream of an inexperienced community organiser. “Oh how the world has changed” Desi continued; “Peace, Joy and Postal III to everyone around the world”.
I’m sure this post will rile up a large hidden cache of Postal fans that have been waiting anxiously since the Uwe Boll film adaptation. Step forward and be heard!

Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 8:47 AMI forgot this game was being made. This is one of those things that I’m ashamed to say that I’ll probably buy when it goes on sale at some point and pretend I don’t own it… even though I probably won’t play it much.
Just some kind of morbid curiosity I have.
Same reason I recently bought Daikatana in its original packaging :-P (for 3 dollars)

Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 9:57 AMLoved Postal 2.
Not such a well built game as it was just plain amusing, but I still loved it.
Not impressed with the consolification of the third, and the whole third person thing, and videos look pretty terrible, but I’ll take a look at it anyway.

Saturday, December 10, 2011 at 1:52 PMWow, the bitterness in this post is just amazing. I’m not a particularly big postal fan (i’ll probably pick it up, the 2nd one was quite amusing!) but still, you shouldn’t go belittling fans just because you don’t like it.
