The Punisher Puts A Hit Out On Sony
Our boy Frank Castle is headed back to a console near you (assuming you own a PS3) for some head crackery and bullet firery. Let's ge the word from those jolly blokes over at Joystiq ...
Sony announced today that Frank Castle will be, as rumored, returning to video games. The surprise? He'll be doing it exclusively on PSN in Punisher: No Mercy. The Unreal Engine 3-based title is being developed by Zen Studios, of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Mushroom Men fame.Though we mentioned Frank Castle earlier, we doubt all of you will get to play as the titular Punisher, as the first-person shooter promises "intense arena-based multiplayer action" featuring characters like Jigsaw, Bushwacker, Barracuda and Silver Sable. We haven't heard or seen nearly enough to pass judgment, but what we've got now just leaves us befuddled. Help us figure it all out with your perspective in the comments.
An arena shooter seems an odd choice for the Punisher, given his tendency toward a lone wolf status, but here's definite potential in there.
We'll keep you updated as we get any more news.
