Looks like they're also making a Mad Max game, that should be interesting.
that's if they ever get it finished, there's only one person working on it...
nice screenshots guys :)
mad max has been tried before.. so hard to get the rights to it. Hope they get it.
#3 Where are the screenshots that you speak of!
Try the website for red tribe.
LOL @ that new logo - do they think they are a Tattoo parlor or something???
Very cool :)
Nice job guys, can't wait for this game to come out.
I really like the new logo.
You wanted someone to say that didn't you #7.,
A bit of reverse psychology, pretend to be a sacked employee or something so we all start talking about how cool the new logo is. What, did you make it or something ?
Well anyway, whatever. It's pretty cool.
Well, I like it :/
It's a big improvement over the old logo, that's for sure. And having a tribal design in the back fits their company name.
Sci-fi horror FPS! Can't wait to see what thats about
The artwork looks amazing. I'm a little surprised by all this. There are good things happening in Australian game development 
lol @ 9 and 12 - you're either a Red Tribe employee worried about the public opinion, or a very outspoken, naive individual...
You're kidding right!!
It's obvious I'm not from Red Tribe, but thanks for calling me naive and outspoken. That's really big of you mate. I really appreciate it.
Art looks good, no way are they in game screenshots though.
All I've seen so far is some pretty screenshots. Anyone can do that.
Great work guys. Looks really promising.
very cool
Hi Guys. I must admit that I don't sit at playstations all day but I can attest to the amazing dedication that red tribe have put into all their games they are developing. My sister is the COO of red tribe so I've had the privelidge of seeing Acme Arsenal in various stages of development.
We should all be applauding the successes of fellow Aussies in such an American dominated market instead of finding fault with a logo. No offence intended of course.
Last night, Samantha and Chris (Founders of Redtribe) won the Business of the year award. Good on u Sam and Chris.
YOU GO GUYS
