I don't even think it'll necessarily suck out of a lack of effort. But it's a Wii game with an unusual concept made by a publisher well known for shitty liscensed cash ins and little else - even if they really try I'm not going to believe it until I see it myself.
I take offense! They publish Dawn of War and Company of Hereos.
Also, less personally, they published Saint's Row, Stalker, and Supreme Commander.
I dunno. I don't usually judge a book by it's cover., but it's obvious this isn't the quick cash in game that we're used to.
Boss battle will be mini games or/and quick time events with waggle controls :P. Seriously, it looks like an decent concept and really remembers me of the Bad Mojo adventure game.
If they could include some of these elements + some awesome locations in this game, then I would be thrilled. With awesome locations I mean the places you usually find these animals, but which are still located in/near "human civilization" (run down house, garage, smaller way or field behind a farm, backyard etc).

This is where good boxart is going to be unusually important. You cant go around scaring the shit out potential customers too much.
This game looks really interesting so I'll be looking forward to hearing more info about it. I'm willing to set aside the fact that big hairy spiders freak me out and buy or rent the game if it's good.
I'm sure the appearance of the spiders in this game won't be as bad as the close up picture of what I believe was a tarantula's horrifying face that I saw in a book when I was a little kid at school. That close up image just freaked me the hell out.

Looks like Spider on the PS1 without the robotic addons and such. Great concept and looks quite nice from the first screenshots - definately keep my eye on this one.
Eh, THQ isn't that bad a publisher. Unless no one here likes Worms: Open Warfare 2. Or Titan Quest (lol Diablo).
On topic... This looks really cool. I have a small obsession with scorpions (not so much spiders, though I don't fear them). Needs to have a Pikmin cameo, though. Or possibly Joe Kucan.
Hmm... Similar to God of War? So, what, you collect new tail tips and fangs? Little shoes for the spider so he can walk on carpet without taking damage? Hardened Carapace to protect against being squished?

I said similar to God of War, because the scorpion was suplexing lizards and breaking necks in a way that reminded me of Kratos.
Is anyone else impressed by the fan-fucking-tastic graphics for a Wii game? This is more like what I thought the Wii would look like, as opposed to Twilight Princess' "GCN 1.5" graphics.

The graphics look wonderful, and the subject matter is interesting as well. I really dig the gila monsters. They're so cute.

Gotta agree with you on the graphics, but Twilight Princess wasn't GC 1.5. It looked the exact same on the GC.
That video was really impressive. The same one is at GameTrailers in sliiiiiiightly higher quality.
If that is what we can expect from gameplay then color me impressed. I'll keep an eye on this one.
I just hope they make the actual in-game enviroments as gritty and rundown as in the trailer. And I like the violent approach the game is taking - maybe the developers will even go as far as let you kill humans with your poison sting?
I wonder how they're going to balance the characters.
If the scorpion is a poisonous, clawed, armoued, agile, wall-walking creature, where does that leave the spider?

Haven't you seen the screenshots with the jumping spider? That thing looks nasty!
edit: heh, I just noticed, is that a coffin in the first pic?
You don't have to be the main character, could start off with you being used as a murder and then just follows your quest to stay uneaten and find a suitable dank hole whilst all hell breaks loose in the human's world around you - its just completely irrelevant to you personally, even if it was technically you who started the whole thing off because the intro sequence made you jump and inadvertantly make the tail attack gesture.
That's not at all what it will be, but could be good if it was.
My guess is that some dick Gila Monster came along and ate the scorpion's family (which is what that second picture looks like, anyway). The spider is there because he has nothing better to do.

This reminds me of that Beast Wars game actually. Only without yelling terrorize.
I remember buying that for the PSX. I remember being very sad that it was by far the worst game I'd have ever played.
Holy shit it was awful.
Edit: I just watched the trailer again. Holy crap I didn't even notice he like twists the head of that lizard 180 degrees until it snaps. That's one hardcore arachnid.

Pfft, I'm an actual girl, and I was the official black widow/tarantula extermination delegate in my household while growing up. Some of y'all should never set foot in the Southwestern USA.
I look quite forward to playing as my former foes.

Too bad I'm at work, but this game deserves that picture of a 4 foot long spider in someone's shower with the caption: Don't be a pussy...it can't be THAT poisonous! (And yes obviously the spider is photoshopped/whatever editing software you prefer I forget the kind of spider it was though)
But this game will justify my wii ownership. Even if it is terrible the concept is just so damn cool, and I've enjoyed horrifically bad games before so I fully expect to pick this up regardless.

It's all in the execution though, I'd say the good/ass odds are about 50/50.
You know, the pictures in my cache of the first post where those images but when I refreshed they were different! Wierd!
I added them to the first post, though.

The other is a loose-cannon-spider on the edge!
Together they form the ultimate crime fighting team!
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover should do the voices for the two main creatures.

I'll wait for gameplay footage first.
It was called Spider.
This is good.
This had better be well-done.
It had better.

The concept is awesome, but I hate scorpions.
Also in a fight between Scorpion and Spider. Scorpion wins every fucking time. If it can't win then it kills itself, thus denying its enemy victory.
At least thats how our Scorpion vs. Spider Gladiator Fights turned out.
How can you hate that.
