'GUN' (NGC/PS2/Xbox/X360/PC) Rides Into Retail

by Rainier on Nov. 8, 2005 @ 9:55 a.m. PST

Gun will be a GTA-style game, set in the West in the 1880s, in cities such as Dodge City and New Mexico's Las Vegas. The murderous 'Dodge City Gang' has been on a rampage and you seek revenge, hunting them down between Indians and Mexican pistoleros. Main mode of transportation is any horse you can find or steal, and of course, Gun will include high speed "horse" pursuits.

"GUN transports players back to a time in American history when laws were virtually non-existent and the only true friend was a gun," said Dusty Welch, vice president of global brand management for Activision Publishing. "Players will be drawn into an epic free roaming action-adventure that will have them on the edge of their seats as they brave the elements and battle challenging enemies through the backdrop of the American West."

As Colton White on a quest to find out who killed his father and in discovery of his true identity, players will showdown against corrupt lawmen, a murderous preacher, renegade army psychopaths and others while waging war on horseback, collecting bounties, and commandeering trains. As they travel through an action-packed landscape of high mountain wilderness, deserts and bustling territorial towns, they uncover an epic story of betrayal, greed, and revenge.

Screenwriter Randall Jahnson, whose credits include Mask of Zorro and The Doors, penned GUN. The story is brought to life by a voice cast of talented actors including Thomas Jane as vengeful gunslinger Colton White; Kris Kristofferson as Colton's mountain man father, Ned; Tom Skerritt as Resistance Fighter Clay Allison; Brad Dourif as evil preacher Josiah Reed; Ron Perlman as Mayor Hoodoo Brown of Empire, New Mexico; and Lance Henriksen as the obsessive tyrant Thomas MacGruder.
