Uwe Boll happy with his new game

Uwe Boll controlled the production of his new game, 1968 Tunnel Rats, which is set in the Vietnam war.

Uwe Boll's announcement that he had made a computer game caught a lot of people off guard, including us, and there's been a mad scrabble for information recently on the game made by the critically panned movie director, 1968 Tunnel Rats. Thankfully, some of the first scraps of info have now begun to slip out.

The first big nugget o' news is that, unsurprisingly, Uwe Boll has created the game as a tie-in project and will soon be working on a film of the same name that interconnects with the plot of the game. He's been heavily involved in both projects according to a statement given to Eurogamer.

"Replay Studios, in Hamburg, developed the game with the Viet Cong engine," said Boll. Replay Studios is the same developer that is currently working on Velvet Assassin, a World War 2 spy game to be hitting the Xbox 360 later this year.

"They based it on my movie, and we delivered our script, screenshots et cetera to them. They also used the same composer. I controlled the production, and I'm happy with the game," he added.

According to Boll, 1968 Tunnel Rats will be released later this autumn and will debut on the PC and Xbox 360, to be published by CDV.

If you missed it yesterday then you can still catch the trailer for Boll's new videogame venture in the original announcement - just be sure to tell us what you think in the forums.

One thing you have to say for Boll is that he's one determined man.

I can't think of anything else >.>

*huh* the VietCong2 engine (Ptero-Engine II) is at least three years old already. Not really expecting much from this.

Oh I get it.

He's making his own games so he can continue to make terrible movies about games without ruining someone else's honest work.

Uwe Boll needs to die.

Well, if he's happy with it, that'll mean someone out there likes it, then. :P

I know we all love to harp on him for ruining alot of good franchises with crappy movies. But his determination in this project is quite impressive. The trailer doesn't look horrible. I've seen worse looking games in trailers. We don't even know if he can / can't make a good game. We only know that he either A) Is horrible at movies or B) Has no budget to develop a proper movie. But what if he's half way decent at making a game? And if he's making movies on his OWN games, then-- he's not really hurting anyone. Besides, tying a game into a movie isn't a bad idea. I liked the idea of that Matrix game where you play as Ghost and Naiobi and it intersects a few plot points in the movie. I'm more curious how he keeps getting people to back him financially.

Indeed... this is actually a pretty good thing if you ask me.. he can keep trying, and we can blissfully ignore him and our childhood can stay intact :D
