Gamecock gets committed to The Ward
Upstart publisher bringing survival horror shooter from newcomer Renegade Kid to the DS.
Recently established publisher Gamecock is anything but ordinary. Last week, the publisher updated the release window for Red Fly Studios' warring-fungi epic. This week, the company has signed on to add a morbid streak to the family-friendly Nintendo DS's lineup.
Developer Renegade Kid today announced the rooster-enthused publisher would help launch its maiden project, Dementium: The Ward. Based in Austin, Texas, Renegade Kid was formed earlier this year by industry veterans Jools Watsham and Gregg Hargrove. Credits for the two include work on Stubbs the Zombie, The Red Star, Area 51, and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.
Playing heavily on its survival horror theme, Dementium follows a man who awakens in a desolate hospital filled with disfigured medical experiments and other ungainly figures. Players must search for answers while solving puzzles and escaping the hospice of horror in one piece. Combining action adventure and first-person shooter elements, Dementium features gory visuals in a 3D environment.
No release date has been given for Dementium: The Ward, but an M for Mature rating is all but assured.

At least they're taking their inspiration from a classic, the first Resident Evil. The enemy in that one screen looks exactly like one of the really really hard-to-kill zombies from the first one or a Regenerator from 4. I'm looking forward to this game.

Good to hear that this game is still being developed. I was wondering if they pulled the plug or not since there has been no news on it lately. This is definitely a game I will be keeping my eyes on.

Hmm... "Dementium: The Ward"? I recall a point-and-click adventure game released not that long ago named The Ward. It also had medical/scifi themes. No word in this article of any relation though.

Gamecock is nothing new, it was in GameInformer like 2 months ago but I understand the reaction. They have a mess of new games announced, maybe not here. Mushroom men looks especially promising.

All of you people do realize that the Univeristy of Southern Carolina's team name is the Gamecocks. Anyway, a gamecock is a name for a rooster that performs in cockfighting matches.

"I think the only people who read this article came here because of the title."
Yeah, I'll admit it.
But this still looks like it could be good.

As long as there's no Gamecock I think we'll all be ok with the mature rating.

These guys may turn out to be an M version of Insomniac Games. Hope it's more than just blood and guts though, I've had my fill of that for now.
