More Info On G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes AAA Video Game

Posted on March 28, 2023 at 2:36 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Video Games

Atomic Arcade Studio GM & Creative Director Ames Kirshen has broken the silence on the upcoming AAA video game based on Snake Eyes.

Some of the highlights:

“There are many points of inspiration for the edgier and more mature take on the G.I. Joe Universe we are developing with this new Snake Eyes-led game. Inspirations that span every major form of entertainment.

The original G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero comic by Larry Hama and the associated animated series and toy line from the early 1980s was my introduction to the IP, so it all starts with the initial impression they all had on me.

In terms of more contemporary versions of G.I. Joe, I really like what Devil’s Due and IDW have done with their more contemporary characterizations and storylines in the G.I. Joe comics they respectively published over the past 20 + years, and we have drawn inspiration from both lines.

With that said, the biggest G.I. Joe specific influence on our game is the 2009 Animated Movie G.I. Joe Resolute, and I encourage anyone who hasn’t heard of it or seen it to check it out.”

*****

“On the video game front, the team and I look to modern military/paramilitary based game franchises that have made a lasting impression on our team as well as core and mass gamers. Such as the Metal Gear Solid franchise, The Call Of Duty Modern Warfare and Ghosts titles, and the Tom Clancy Ghost Recon and The Division games, to name just a few. Additionally, we are also inspired by recent sword focused, melee combat games such as Sekiro, Ghost Of Tsushima and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.”

*****

“Well I can’t go into detail on a majority of the elements of our game that I am most excited about as they would spoil too much. But what I will say is one of the main reasons we choose to lead with Snake Eyes for the first game is that if you strip away all of the G.I. Joe IP specific elements, at his core Snake Eyes is half deadly Ninja and half elite Spec Ops Military Commando. We believe the combination of those abilities and associated tools that Snake has in his tool chest make for a very compelling and unique video game protagonist for anyone who enjoys AAA action/adventure games.”

    It's stealth mixed with sword mechanics, it could be good...if it is it might help Joe get into the mainstream

    "the edgier and more mature take on the G.I. Joe Universe"
    I cant roll my eyes back any further and Im once sentence in.

    ?On the video game front, the team and I look to modern military/paramilitary based game franchises that have made a lasting impression on our team as well as core and mass gamers. Such as the Metal Gear Solid franchise, The Call Of Duty Modern Warfare and Ghosts titles, and the Tom Clancy Ghost Recon and The Division games, to name just a few. Additionally, we are also inspired by recent sword focused, melee combat games such as Sekiro, Ghost Of Tsushima and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.?

    So they are wanting to do a Souls-like with Snake Eyes. Thats what Im getting.

    Let's give them chances to do it right, I'm hoping they're serious fans...but the OBO devs said they were too, look how that turned out :(

    How does that sound unique? It sounds like if Snake and Raiden fused.

    I don't see how such a game can set itself apart from every other game that is basically the same thing. Especially with Snake-Eyes as the lead.

    I love Snake Eyes, I do. But while he has plenty of advantages from a gameplay perspective, he’s dull as fricking ditchwater as protagonists go. Never speaks, just stand there and nod, no family, less than a half dozen pals.

    Hell, let’s be honest here: all the cool characters that would be fun to play are with Cobra. Storm Shadow, Firefly, Zartan, Zarana, the Dreadnoks. A host of conflicting viewpoints, abilities and motivations, and able to express them.

    Operation Blackout had it right in letting you play different characters from both sides. The gameplay was just extremely dull.

    Don't forget the multi didn't have online, I could've personally gotten some friends to buy it who don't know much of Joe but would still have bought it just for the online to play with me
