Legendary Gets Epic on Your Ass Next Week

Matt Litten — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:02:42 +0000

Been wondering what happened to Legendary? Hey, join the club! It was originally supposed to ship September 30th, but that date came and went and Spark Unlimited’s shooter was nowhere to be seen. Then the news broke about SouthPeak acquiring Gamecock (clearly the reason the game got delayed) and would be publishing the game, but a new ship date still wasn’t given.

Finally, though, I can now tell you when it’s going to ship. For real this time. The official news won’t drop until tomorrow, but Rob Fleischer, Sandbox Strategies PR front man for SouthPeak/Gamecock, has informed me this evening that Legendary is set to ship next week on November 4th for PS3 and Xbox 360. The PC version will then follow a couple weeks later on November 18th.

Thanks for the tip Rob!

Here’s a cool two-part gameplay walkthrough of the cathedral level at the end of chapter five in Spark Unlimited’s PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 shooter Legendary. Looking forward to this one, looks like a lot of fun. Perhaps nothing incredibly innovative, but at least the enemies are pretty unique and the setting is something a bit different for an FPS.

Legendary Update: New Screenshots and Complete Achievement List

Remember Legendary? You know, Spark Unlimited’s mythical FPS for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360? Yeah, it was supposed to ship September 30th, but quietly seems to have been delayed considering we’re now in October and the game has yet to ship.

Legendary Behind the Scenes Round-Up

Matt Litten — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 11:58:37 +0000

Over the past month or so, Gamecock has produced an epic six-part behind-the-scenes video series chronicling the development of Spark Unlimited’s latest FPS project Legendary. I’ve posted a couple of the previous episodes, but now that the series has come to a close I thought it’d be easier to round the whole thing up into one post, so that’s what I’ve done right here. Yep, that’s right, episodes 1-6 are embedded below for you to view at your leisure. Don’t miss it, it’s a fantastic series.

Legendary ships in just two weeks on September 30th for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Legendary: Behind the Scenes Episode 2

Legendary: Behind the Scenes Episode 1

Matt Litten — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:04:27 +0000

Release date? Check. Box art? Check. Pre-order bonus? Check. Graphic novel? Check. Legendary info and assets sure are flooding in strong, as chronicled in the update I posted a few moments ago. But hold the phone, there’s one more item I still have to share with you today: the first episode in a six-part behind-the-scenes series Gamecock and Spark Unlimited have put together. Watch, learn and enjoy!

Legendary Gets Dated, Box Arted, Pre-Order Bonused and Graphic Noveled

Matt Litten — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:39:57 +0000

Got a whole lotta info to update you on regarding Gamecock’s upcoming FPS title Legendary. First and foremost, you should be happy to hear that the PC, PS3 and X360 mythological shooter has an official release date. Come September 30th, you’ll begin seeing the game, packaged in the box art shown above, lining up on store shelves across the country. And now that a ship date has been set, the time for pre-order bonuses has arrived. Put a reservation down now at participating retailers and you’ll bag a free art book and bonus DVD (image in the gallery below) brimming with video content. But wait, don’t click away just yet, there’s still more! To expand upon the game universe’s storyline, Spark Unlimited has put together a team led by comic author Mark Waid to create a 96-page Legendary graphic novel. The novel will hit store shelves alongside the game’s launch.

Here’s a Handful of New Legendary Trailers

Matt Litten — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 16:08:56 +0000

After the disappointment that was Turning Point, I’m really looking for the team at Spark Unlimited to make a strong comeback with their next project Legendary, the “mythical” FPS coming later this year to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. I’m digging the style and premise of it so far, and these five new gameplay trailers sure show a lot of promise. My fingers are crossed…
