Splash Damage announces new FPS, Dirty Bomb
After a short teaser campaign, Splash Damage has revealed its new PC multiplayer FPS. The lovely chaps behind Brink and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory are returning to their home turf with Dirty Bomb, with a teaser trailer showing firefights on the streets near London Bridge. It's why taxis never go south of the river, you know.

All Splash Damage will state in writing is that Dirty Bomb's a multiplayer shooter for PC. That's all. Well, we can judge from the trailer that it boasts some sort of objectives, deduce it's set in the aftermath of some manner of nuclear attack, and plainly see it features at least one level set in the fine city of London. Fingers crossed it's all in The Smoke, as this green and pleasant land is sadly ignored by video games. You know where you can stick your Big Apple.
Dirty Bomb will be published through the WarChest label Splash Damage set up for free-to-play games, so it's a fair bet it'll be F2P. WarChest's first game revealed was the mobile turn-based tactical RAD Soldiers and it's brewing something for consoles too.

Why don't these guys try something different? If I was them, after Brink I would have tried an RPG or even a strategy game. Going back to FPS would have been to close to home after that debacle. I mean, looks like they are using the same assets anyway, why not do something else...guess they got brain freeze.

I would call Rad Soldiers different: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0VYvAO0is0

Why are they doing this? Why not just do a remake of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory or something more interesting. I hope they know the growing popularity of F2P fps shooters out there. There's two I can list off the top of my head Blacklight Retribution and of course TF2... This better be some epic online for anyone to buy it just for multiplayer.

This is F2P, in fact Splash Damage is a 100% F2P dev now.

Did Michael Bay direct the trailer or something?
-
Guys, what is the over / under on this game not sucking?
-
I'm hoping for a return to ET action. It's easily my favorite game type.
-
Maybe it is just me, but this seriously looks like they just took Brink (same engine, graphics all), slapped on some new textures here and there and said 'New Game'! Quite sad. I wanted to like Brink so bad.
However, when push came to shove the faults just pushed me over the proverbial ...-
Splash Damage have shifted, or were shifting, to Unreal Engine.

-
You don't have to hope, it's listed on the video. That said, its sad not to see anyone using id's engines anymore.
-
hard to do when they don't license their engines anymore
-

-
I'm the only person alive who loved Brink. Also, I hope this is the id engine and NOT Unreal like Alice mentioned above. :(
-
Look at the logos in that trailer.
-
Totally missed em. Thanks.
-
-
Great art, theme and style. The gameplay just didn't grab people. I knew what they wanted to do but they needed like another step to get there,
-
-
So for those that played and like W:ET, RTCW, and ETQW but hated Brink, what would make you give this game a proper shot and make you excited about their new game?
-
If it played like W:ET in London. I want to run around as an engineer crawling on my belly defusing mines and building things.
-
I'm excited that they are saying this is a "PC shooter". I think they found themselves in over their heads trying to make a game for all platforms (Brink). That said, I'm not into what I am seeing of the art style in this video.
As for Brink I enjoyed it initially, but the performance on Radeons was too choppy, and some of the maps had big flaws. -
ETQW was brilliant in terms of team gameplay and the whole Quake universe was quite interesting
-
-
The most logical answer would be a solid marketing campaign followed by a solid demo.
-
-
It's great that they have the room to keep trying new things regardless of their last title's reception. Better than seeing military shooter #8917181 or some fucking awful mobile game.
-
They're independent; Bethesda was merely the publisher of Brink. Therefore, Splash Damage had the freedom to take off and start a PC-only game that plays to their strengths, while Id Software's stuck under Bethesda's agenda.
-
I know which is rare. I'm glad they're still thriving on their own.

What an incredibly boring, uninspired announcement. Another free-to-play modern warfare wankfest. Whoop dee doo
-
"a multiplayer shooter" has me a bit concerned on the level of Brink.
