CHIKARA: The Video Game?

[Redefine Sick]

Apparently so. And, it's coming to multiple consoles - which means it'll probably be PSN/Virtual Console/XBL content. If the art style looks as good as the video, I'll orgasm everywhere.

Looks like it won't be a regular wrestling game then. I kinda got a Beat'Em Up vibe from it... well I actually thought it was a great promo when I first saw the vid till I saw the ending.

I don't actually care though since I marked out when I found out about it, and I'll end up getting it no matter what genre or if its good or bad since it's a CHIKARA Video Game.

OMGWTFBBQ I MUST HAVE THIS

[Hornswoggle4PM]

Never been into Chikara but it seems like a really interesting promotion with a different idea and target. Should be interesting.

[apsham]

From the very start I never expected it to be an actual wrestling video game - hell, I could even see it just being released on the PC and the 360's indy game section, but it's still CHIKARA none the less and it'll still be frickin' awesome. Here's hoping for a full XBL/PSN release.

[Mysterio2000X]

Oh shit, that's awesome.

I'm not into wrestling at all nowadays, but I will get this. I will get this and play it every day.

Was that USApe amongst the old Chikara guys?

If so, this is a must buy.

[SRN]

MosCOW better be there as well.

[Black Majik]

Was that USApe amongst the old Chikara guys?

If so, this is a must buy.

Yep.

From Left to Right:

Worker Ant; Private Eye; Sumie Sakai, USApe, Mister Zero; Blind Rage; Lance Steel and Jervis Cottonbelly.

Also Crossbones in the background.

[GoGo Yubari]

Ultimo Breakfast is also visible in the background, he's the silhouette to the right of Crossbones.

[Black Majik]

Also refering to the silhouettes, is that Rorschach just to the left of Crossbones?

Out of all the silhouettes it sticks out the most as familiar, I didn't even recognize Ultimo Breakfest till you just posted about him there.

We got the first of the promised weekly updates today, which confirmed that no, this will not be a wrestling game and no, that does not curb my enthusiasm for this in the slightest.

Wanna post it over here for those who don't go to the forums?

Back at King of Trios, we ignited a firestorm when we unveiled the trailer for our upcoming video game, Rudo Resurrection before the CHIKARA faithful. Since then, thousands more have checked out the trailer on YouTube...

...and interest has been building at a feverish rate.

Today, we are proud to announce that CHIKARA, in partnership with Rogue Brains, have begun the production of Rudo Resurrection, intended for release later this year. We couldn't be more pleased to have found a development team that not only understands and respects CHIKARA's take on pro-wrestling, but also embraces the greater mythology our microcosm hosts. Rogue Brains is an up-and-coming team of industry professionals that have several years experience working on video games, comic books and other forms of entertainment.

CHIKARA: Rudo Resurrection utilizes the Unity 3D game engine, which gives us access to a wide array of gaming platforms. More information on exactly which platforms will carry the game will be confirmed closer to the game's release date. Fans have inundated us with emails, asking what they can expect from the game. While we're not ready to say too much just yet, it's safe to say that Rudo Resurrection is less of a wrestling game and more of a story-driven action game that harkens back to some arcade favorites from decades past.

As seen in the video trailer, CHIKARA: Rudo Resurrection will feature a number of zombified personalities from CHIKARA's rich past, but the game's landscape is populated with far more characters than what can be seen in the trailer. At the heart of the action is the conflict between longtime CHIKARA favorites and the despised Bruderschaft des Kreuzes, while a Who's Who from CHIKARA's history are reanimated to take part in the fracas! Whether or not the macabre UltraMantis Black can maintain control over his undead army is key to the unfolding story, as the player attempts to unlock more and more characters to join the fight.

Our partners at Rogue Brains have created www.chikaravideogame.com as the homebase for the game, and updates will begin to appear there on a weekly basis, leading to the game's release.

Definitely gonna be a beat'em up, from what I can tell. Still fucking stoked.

[AnnIQ Edison]

Sounds like the equivalent to what Brutal Legend was to Guitar Hero.

[LUKIE]

So basically, UMB has brought back the old CHIKARA characters as zombies...

[apsham]

This also needs to be turned into a storyline.
