Gaming News - February 2003
Tucson, AZ (February 17, 2003) - Running with Scissors today announced
that Whiptail Interactive will be publishing their upcoming game, Postal 2.
From Running with Scissors:
In a move that has the videogame world salivating like Pavlov's dog, Running
With Scissors announced that POSTAL 2 will be published by Whiptail Interactive,
who simultaneously announced they will deliver the long-awaited sequel to the
original Postal its debut offering.
"Guts?" asked an incredulous Vince Desi, Running With Scissors' sadly twisted
CEO, "Guts? Try balls the size of Hummers! That's the bottom line at Whiptail
Interactive, and the real reason we've got ourselves a new partner."
Desi said he admired Whiptail's courage, not only as it relates to POSTAL 2's
over-the-top content, but also the U.S.-based publisher's willingness to enter a
market rife with "we make one too" action games, adding, "Vice is nice, but
POSTAL 2 is BAAAD, baby!"
"We wanted to make a bold statement with our first game," said Fred Heslop,
the president of Whiptail Interactive, "and I think it's safe to say there is no
bolder statement we could make than partnering with Running With Scissors." With
direct access to both the North American and European retail markets, Whiptail
Interactive will reach legions of Postal fans everywhere who've been clamoring
for a sequel.
Operating on Epic's Unreal Warfare™ Engine and featuring fully explorable,
open ended 3D environments with over 100 unique NPC's and Gary Coleman starring
as himself in the outlandish game, POSTAL 2 will explode as many "first-person"
gaming myths as the player (the lovable Postal Dude) can explode heads.
"It is what it is," grinned an unrepentant Desi. "The original Postal stood
gamers on their heads back in '97, and in publishing POSTAL 2, the game crazy
gang over at Whiptail Interactive will guarantee our franchise will live on in
infamy."
