Wild West PSN/XBLA shooter revealed News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

It's all about Lead and Gold, don't you know.

Fatshark has announced a Wild West shooter for distribution on PC and next-gen consoles, although we're not told which.

Dubbed Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West, this is a third-person shooter that revolvers around multiplayer action. Teams are the order of the day, but you can practice with computer partners before heading online.

Once there, Fatshark promises we'll be reliving high-noon gunfights outside heisted banks.

Fatshark is partly owned by GRIN, maker of Bionic Commando, and so uses the Diesel engine responsible for powering that game.

There's more to see at gamescom, but for now a gallery is all we have to go by. Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West has no date yet.

"revolvers"? Freudian slip?

Isn't GRIN notorious for terrible PC ports? So that vwersion is not a good idea... Since I'm not paying for XBL gold and this is multiplayer focussed it's completely useless to me.

Uhm.. not a very wise move to name an online multiplayer game something that's going to be abbreviated as LAG :/

@KDR_11k - Dunno about terrible; it's more a case of their games being short, uninspiring and pretty mediocre from the ones I've played. The Diesel engine is an average engine too if ever there was one, it doesn't even support AA on the PC, GRIN don't believe in putting graphics options in their games either not even something as basic as V-Sync On/Off.

Bionic Commando, which I unfortunately bought a few weeks back, was underwhelming IMO but it's even more of a letdown without the promised DX10 support as it just comes off as another workmanlike console port. There's absolutely nothing extra been put into the game to make up for the two month delay in being released. Lame.

Isn't the PSN/XBLA thing a reasonable suggestion that it might be for PS3 and 360?

GRIN are apparently on the verge of bankrupcy according to IGN:

Looks like they are trying to fill the void left by Team Fortress 2 on the PS3.
