UNITED KINGDOM – April 1, 2012 – Intense creative re-focussing has led Gunpoint to be re-invented as a 3rd person cover shooter.
“We’re going to make a lot more money this way”, says morally bankrupt CEO.
(Full credit to our artist John Roberts for this startling change in direction)
(This was an April Fools)
Any chance for a legacy-edition game that comes with the Collector’s Edition? Else I’ll take some day one DLC! Looking forward to the game coming out.

I, for one, am pleased to see the developer finally listening to reason and taking the path far well traveled. I shall be buying this the very day it sees release and also all the Day 1 dlc. Bravo, here is all my money.

Personally, I’m highly anticipating the hastily added multiplayer, and of course the multiplayer store.
In particular, I want to make a lot of micro-transactions in order to buy anything remotely worth playing with – maybe even some pay-to-win stuff!

I’m really looking forward to the cover system, linear levels and simple gunplay.
So few games have those features these days.

Shooter? No, no, more stealth action, like Splinter Cell: Conviction.
(Seriously, can you imagine how awesome GP might be in 3D if handled correctly?)
