Trailer available now:

http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=49480

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/features/onthespot/index.php

Per the front page today, Tycho was on Gamespot Live talking about “On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness”. Starting at about 34:20 in the video and going for about 10 minutes. It's a full 3D RPG-Adventure(or Adventure/RPG), with the gameplay being a mix between Sam & Max and 8/16 Bit RPGs. Create your own PA-style character and fight alongside of Gabe & Tycho.

A trailer is said to be out sometime next week, along with screenshots. I can't wait.

Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

    I can imagine it being a side scroller punching game with popular characters from the comic as bosses.

    I'm not impressed, imagination...

    C'mon, your imagination is just screwing with you if that is the case.

    Also, I want a Penny Arcade themed Streets of Rage game.

    The interview says "No Voices", which is cool. I wait very excitedly for this game. I hope that the cardboard tube is some super awesome secret weapon, like the rainbow sword in Chrono Trigger. That thing is epic, and should be treated as such.

    I was of the understanding that it was PC-only, so any 360 news is awesome.

    I don't know whether I'm a fan of the 'no voices' thing. In my mind, Mike and Jerry's voices would fit perfectly. Not to give them mounds of more work, though.

    Of course, Zelda and Pokémon manage just fine.

    It's going to be full 3-D, but in a graphical style reminiscent of the comics. (So perhaps the shading on the 3d models will be sort of "flat"?) I'm really excited about this game. SNES-era RPG style combat? Hell yeah.

    I don't like it either, but i respect their decision to go all-out, balls-to-the-wall parody of other stupidly long, cliche titles that have become the norm.

    While the name is a bit verbose, it fits the PA style perfectly, and it really does sound pretty intriguing.

    I mean, if I walk into the game store and I see "Supreme Conquer 4: Nuke Fallout," I'm going to bet that it's just the same as every other game out there. I will have to know about the game ahead of time before I will give it any of my time.

    "On the Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness" sounds exciting, cryptic and mysterious. I would pick up that box, even if I had never heard of it. If they have interesting art on the box (this is a given) and do a good job of explaining how it is interesting and mysterious, I would buy it.

    Yes, it isn't EA Generic Sports 2009: Black Edition, with all of the built-in customers, but I don't think they're interested in making a game like that.

    Also, I'm pretty sure they already have the option of contracting humour out to mexicali children, but they choose not to, just to be different.
