punisherlogo1 New Punisher Game Coming Exclusively to PSN, and Its a...Multiplayer FPS?

There have been some light rumblings in the past that a new game based on The Punisher was in development, so it probably shouldn’t be too surprising that Zen Studios has now officially announced that the game is in development. What is surprising though is that it’s apparently a multiplayer game that takes place from a first-person perspective. The game is being called “The Punisher: No Mercy,” and will feature some familiar characters from The Punisher comics in the Marvel Universe (though I wouldn’t expect to see Marvel’s A-listers making any appearances). It will be built using the Unreal Engine 3 and is set to be available exclusively through the Playstation Store on the PSN.

Hmm, so it’s an FPS that centers around the gritty world of a soldier-type character. How original. it is kind of cool that they’re bypassing retail distribution entirely though.

    What’s really interesting is that they are releasing it exclusively on PSN. I guess they don’t care about maximizing profits on their IP….

    Go Marlins!!!!

    I thought you were a PS3 fan, cockbreath. Why knock their choice? If this game turns out to be good, then I might lament their decision to make it PS3 exclusive. Otherwise, you Sony faggots can have it.

    @Buddy,

    You really do need to learn to comprehend what you read. If you had then you would have realized that based on my comment I am anything but a PS3 fan.

    I have a PS3 but pretty much it only serves as a Blu-Ray player as I buy multiplatform games for the Xbox 360 and only PS3 “exclusives” that interest me which explains why I only have two games for the PS3.

    So, “cockbreath” as you so eloquently put it, what do you have to say now?

    Go Marlins!!!!
