‘Young’ Velvet Assassin Trailer Feels Old, Sounds Awful

12:30PM AJ Glasser | If you watch the new extended trailer for Velvet Assassin and feel a strange sense of deja-vu, there’s a reason for that. Sadly, that reason doesn’t make the trailer any better.

No Arse Monsters In Velvet Assassin

3:40AM Mike Fahey | Replay Studios creative director and co-founder Sascha Jungnickel has some very important things to say about their upcoming stealth action game, the recently renamed Velvet Assassin. This game contains no ass monsters, or for that matter – tits monsters. While I am sure he mentions something about hiding in dynamic shadows or the atmospheric lighting, as soon as he drops the arse monster bomb the only thing I hear when watching this clip now is “Arse Monster, arse monster, arse monster”. The two phrases shall henceforth be an important part of the Fahey vernacular. Thank you, Mr. Jungnickel. More »

Sabotage Thy Name Is Velvet Assassin

2:40AM Mike Fahey | Game name changes can be good, especially when your original title is something as generic as Sabotage. Gamecock and developer replay studios have announced a brand new name for their upcoming World War II stealth-action game for next-gen consoles and PC – Velvet Assassin. Much, much better. “Rather than a trite, overused, and generic working title like ‘Sabotage,’ ‘Velvet Assassin™’ captures the heart of what we’re trying to accomplish,” said Sascha Jungnickel, Creative Director at Replay Studios. “From the start we’ve wanted a game with a strong female lead that stays true to the history of Violette Szabo while pulling players into a world of dark intrigue.” Mind you I have terrible issues with the stealth genre, but I will slightly more remorse passing up Velvet Assassin when it releases this Fall than I would have not buying Sabotage.
