Ubisoft’s initially jarring decision to go the route of all-out ’80s action homage with Blood Dragon is becoming more convincingly brilliant by the day.
In a wonderfully knowing developer diary posted by Ubisoft yesterday, complete with a VHS-style visual filter, it was revealed that James Cameron-regular Michael Biehn (or Cpl. Dwayne Hicks, to most of us) would be lending his gruff tones to one of the game’s characters.
The short, silly diary is just the latest in a clever marketing drive by Ubisoft to push its Montreal studio’s production. The highlight thus far is an astonishing live-action homage from Corridor Digital, The Cyber War, released earlier this week that really needs to be seen to be believed.
Watch, and cheer, The Cyber War here.
