Sir, You Are Being Hunted announced

Big Robot head Jim Rossignol, who also co-founded Rock Paper Shotgun, has announced a new game, Sir, You Are Being Hunted, which can best be described as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with Very Proper English Robots who hunt humans - for sport.

 
According to Rossignol: "Hunted is set in a recognisably British landscape. Its inhabitants are a mockery of the aristocratic country gent and his ecosystem. Robots that ape tea-drinking, poachers that lurk in reed-beds, and red-eyed hounds that patrol the moor: these are the things you will be dealing with as you fight for survival."

Sir, You Are Being Hunted is what Rossignol considers a "stepping stone" for Big Robot's major project, Lodestone, which is a procedural-world generator. Hunted will feature a dynamic world thanks to the generator.

The game will also focus on exploration and interaction, and Rossignol promises to keep gamers updated with videos, screenshots and concept art on the official site here.

Now that’s a title and game concept I call awesome … and a little disturbing!

Would we human players stand a chance against AI robots?.. Doubt it?

Not against Very Proper Upper-Class British Robots, no.

Depends if the robots have AI that is ground-breaking in terms of gaming (lightbulbs smashed means nothing is going on etc and fallen people is OK as long as you don't see or hear anything for roughly a minute...) or if they really are upper class British robots - wait - the end would be the same... banjoo playing hill-billy wobots!

"Sir, there seems to be a bullet lodged in your brain."

Terribly sorry, the bullet was supposed to blow your head apart.

"That is easily remedied, however."

BLAM!

I suggest running, sir. I'll give you a proper count of 10 before I seperate your spleen from your torso.

That's it, My Good Man. Would you kindly stay right there. Now, Good Sir, can you please not move while I finish my tea? (is this better BoneArc?)

Damicothunder , you're missing a "would you kindly"

The Hierarchy in this situation is maddening. This gun, My Good Man, may be too good for you. On the contrary, tea time is over. Now, Sir, I shall fix this to the best of my ability. Cheerio.
