Is this real...?

Would the trademark notification at the end of this make it real? Not too sure, but this looks interesting.

Aside from the cutscenes I thought it looked quite awful.

This is my thought too. And the voice... It was posted by a new account with n discussion or context so I didn't know if it was some kind of joke/spam or what.

Well I've encounted more annoying characters in SCI-FI programs but I'll stay clear of this one.

Seriously? What a lame advertising campaign. You make an account talking about this game when you clearly work for the company. All of the comments on that Youtube video except 1 are praising the game but when you look into them they are accounts made simply to promote the game, or more accurately, all of your companies games. This is incredibly lame. If you seriously want your game to do well, just make a good, fun game (with decent voice acting & jokes please). With good (genuine!!) word of mouth, typically comes sales.

Just please stop this pitiful excuse for game promotion.

Well Tides, maybe he plans on sticking around and actually using his VC-F account to be part of the community, promote his games in a positive and involved way, give us the inside scoop on the company's upcoming products, etc. instead of being a sad spammer. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

Seriously, how many of you have actually played a Calaris game? I've played none since they haven't released WarMen Tactics or Space Trek in Europe. So I save my stupid comments for when they're appropriate. I mean, what's wrong about a developer saying: "Check out a gameplay video of our new WiiWare game"?

Nothing. And there's nothing wrong with people then replying to it with their comments which is the point of a discussion forum isn't it?

We don't have to have played a game to comment on how it appears.

Sorry, I meant to quote Tides. Your point was ok.

Nothing, if it's not a cynical link-dump hit & run. I think Tides would have been happier if they said "Hey, we're the developers of this little flying game, check it out and let us know what you think!" like the developers of that monkey construction World of Goo knock-off game did a couple of years ago. They were groovy and people got on well with them. If they have a bunch of yes-man accounts on sites like YouTube going around manufacturing buzz, that's a little funny, and worth having a chuckle over, but kudos to them if it works.

Yeah, that's my main problem. If you're going to try to promote your game yourselves, at least tell us who you really are instead of making these puppet accounts that just spout out a never-ending fountain of great things for your games. Just come out as the developers and tell us why we should try your game.

EDIT: Although, this VC-Forums account of theirs isn't too bad, it's mainly the Youtube accounts that sparked my post.

Looks really terrible, espicially the when there is loads of debris on the screen. Heck even the title of the game sounds terrible. Wish I never looked at this.

Space Trek from the makers of WarMen is alright, but I'm really hyped for Mall Shuffle from the makers of BabyGurlz.
