An unexpected cameo
We need some help settling a little office uncertainty: Does this trailer for Smilegate’sCrossfireXtease aMetal Gear SolidWalker Gear at the end of it?Here’s the timestamped link.
On one hand, the trailer makes a point of going out with a bang, ending on this extremely quick moving biped machine advancing on a Humvee. On the other,Metal Geardidn’t invent the idea. This could just be some generic Gundam/anime shit.
When I started writing this story, I was in the camp of “Yes, That’s Definitely A Walker, How Could It Be Anything Else?” I was ready to bring theMetal GearGoodness to the masses. Now, I’m hesitant. In my own head. I still want to believe but it’s almost a coin flip.
Anyway, this is a gameplay trailer ahead of theopen beta that starts on June 25. It looks like a mix betweenCounter-StrikeandCrysismaybe? Also, it takes a long time to get there, but the song in the trailer eventually turns into a rock cover of DMX’s “X Gon’ Give It to Ya.” As if that weren’t enough weird tidbits about one game, Remedy’s writing the singleplayer story of this free-to-play shooter.CrossfireXis gonna be wild, Walker or not.
