Brothers In Arms and Penny Arcade

[mikezilla]

I guess this counts as an announcement.

From PA today

"We just finished a new long-form project, think the PA Presents stuff, for Gearbox Software's Brothers In Arms. We had an unprecedented level of access to the developer of this game, and by unprecedented access I mean that there is a far greater degree of integration between our work and the game itself. Not only did we have access to hundreds of megabytes of what your teacher would have called "Primary Sources," the guys over there have been doing research of various kinds for as many as three years and were happy to talk to us whenever we had a question. The execution of this one has absolutely nothing in common with our prior work of this type - it's far more intimate. If we have done our jobs correctly - and I believe that we have - there will be nothing, visually or stylistically, to reveal it as our work.

(CW)TB out. "

PA & BiA, what a nice mixture, I dig both. But what is PA actually gonna contribute? Will they draw comic strips about BiA (with BiA characters) or something else?

[OL]

i read this on their news post yesterday.

PA does lots of advertising stuff for new games because of their recognisable art style. they are probably making a squad based combat simulating comic strip, the way they did splinter cell and far cry, etc

its WAY different than their previous stuff, we spent a few hours with them to make sure it would be awesome and different.

its not a comic strip.
