Rockstar Games, the company behind such classics as the GTA series, Midnight Club, The Warriors, and Red Dead Revolver are set to release a new game for the XBox 360…
A ping pong game.
So your next question might be – what’s the catch? Are the players supposed to drink hot coffee and beat hookers with ping pong paddles or something?
Nope. Its just ping pong.
“As Rockstar founder Sam Houser pointed out on IGN.com, no developer or publisher has really tried to capture the speed of competitive Ping Pong before.”
Curiously, the game is a 360 exclusive – which has led to some confusion among the gaming community. I mean, why not release it first on the Revolution and spark some interest in the game with the addition of the new controller? Many have speculated that Rockstar felt that they would lose street cred with the hardcore gamers if they released a game for Nintendo – a company known for its kid friendly image.
Seriously though, is a ping pong game going to garner any credibility from the hardcore gamer in the first place?
