We didn't see this one coming. There is another Brothers in Arms game on the way, developer Gearbox Software announced at publisher Ubisoft's E3 2011 press conference today, and it will be an over-the-top, Inglorious Basterds-infused BiA unlike any we've ever seen.

Quentin Tarantino fans likely recall the basement bar scene in the aforementioned WWII re-imagining. Based on the below trailer, it appears the makers of the forthcoming Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 remember it as well. See for yourself:

What a joke. Another great franchise ruined by greed, dumbed down for the moron masses. Enough to make you sick

Idiocracy indeed :(
 
Eish.. Don't know what to think of this yet! The idea looks pretty sweet! They just shouldn't have used the BIA franchise.. I'm amped for some gameplay videos :D
 
they say this is a "spin off".

That's BS spin. They're trying to cash in on the name like Codemasters did with operation flashpoint and Ubisoft did with Splinter Cell
 
/facepalm

So are we ever going to get a decent follow up to Hell's Highway or is this it?

And what's this shit about it being a spin off? Ah yes, I remember "Stitch" being a prominent character. All those memorable "Stitch" moments.
 
Yeah Splinter cell only lasted 3 games too. Well Double Agent was okay....

But this POS is just something else. Even if it wasn't ludicrously linked to BIA it still would have been a joke all on it's own.
 
Dumbed down for the masses? The same way Bad Company 2 was dumbed down because it had an over-the-top storyline attached? Meh, the heavens know we need some more humour in games to help remove the sticks some gamers have had in their asses lately. :P
 
I never really got into the Brothers in arms games. The shooting just doesn't feel as accurate and precise as other FPS like COD or MOH. I will still give the game a go. I like the story lines. The strategy part I'm not so good at, so I struggled.

lol. The way I see it, BiA had a great story with characters that you actually cared about. When you've been through three BiA games, expect a follow up of the same calibre and they whip this out, it may induce some stick in assness.
 
" Someone is not making a game for me?! " :p

Think people should chill. This is a spin-off. Think 'Joey' after 'Friends', 'Angel' after 'Buffy', 'LOTR' after 'Hobbit'.
This is not a change of direction. In fact they might actually preserve the core BIA game in this way.
Every Dev team (publisher) is looking at the success COD has brought and is aiming there game towards that crowd. BIA instead made a branch from the core game, in which they target those masses. There will be a proper follow up in the BIA series.

In fact, looking at their wikipedia page, we find that there has only been 3 BIA core games and 8 Spin-off games.

I'll admit, they could probably have chosen a better series to do this with, but it might still turn out to be good. The only BiA game I really enjoyed was the first one, to be honest, and I thought the last game missed the pot entirely, so maybe this one will revive the series.
