Ubisoft Confirms Inglorious Basterds: The Multi-Crossover Game

   In a shocking revelation at E3, Ubisoft has apparently declared a multi-referential addition to their Brothers in Arms series: Furious Four. Set in Europe in 1944, the game features a small group of gritty, hardcore American soldiers placed behind enemy lines, apparently to wreak havoc and spread terror among the German military machine. They are (apparently, though if only by evidence of frequency of dialogue) led by a crazy, violent officer of at least partial Native American ancestry.

    Stop me after the break if this starts to sound familiar.

    The team consists of Chok, the potential leader mentioned previously (who at the very least doesn't look like Brad Pitt), who introduced himself with the prerequisite action one-liner before sinking a Tomahawk into the nearest befuddled Nazi. Second is Stitch, who appears to be Ben Foster ripped straight from his semi-recent role in 2011's The Mechanic.

    No, really. Stop me.

    Third is Crockett, a brand-toting Texan gunslinger who also looks strangely reminiscent of Ben Foster. Maybe I've just got a 'thing' for The Fost. None of these previous could possibly compare to Montana, the rougly bear-sized minigun behemoth, presumably on loan from Valve and taking a vacation from the petty squabbles of RED and BLU to contribute to something larger than himself.

    Overall, the game trailer looks exactly as the previous descriptions have implied; like Quentin Tarantino and Gabe Newell had one too many in a WWII memorial and did something they'd rather like to forget. This isn't to say that the game looks bad, certainly--after all, if it's poor taste to judge a book by its cover, then judging a game by its purely cinematic trailer without any gameplay footage would be like judging a book by the concept art for its cover. However, it looks like it could be a different direction for the franchise. We'll just have to see if it's the Reservoir Dogs or the Jackie Brown of Brothers in Arms' lineup.
