There's a Squirrel with a Gun, and He's Firing at PS5

Interesting, might have to give this a go, looks bonkers!
Spotted a golden acorn so I'm hoping for some puzzle elements too. It does look like a PS+ game but if the price is right I will chuck a few quid at it.

Was hoping this would come to consoles so I could give it a proper go.

Sounds like fun

My son's love of Goat Simulator makes me think they'd love this too!
And let's be honest, me too...

This screams future PS+ game.

Seeing as Palworld sold so many copies on the back of being 'pokemon with guns' we can expect many studios to try getting people hyped for a game based on a jokey/meme concept.

This looks nuts.

Finally, the PS5 is getting a good game

This kind of silliness is what gaming should be about lol, I think I'll get this game 😂

Conker is probably mad at this.like it should of been me.conker a squirrel with a gun 😀.haha word up son

Yeah people forget gaming is supposed to be fun. How long until someone finds something to be offended by in this game and then tries to organise a boycott even though they had no intention to play the game in the first place?

This is what that cop thought was going on when he unloaded his whole clip into his own car because he heard a squirrel drop a nut

@MrMagic dude, chill. The “EVERYONE GETS OFFENDED AT EVERYTHING” brigade are often the first ones to kick up a fuss.

The game looks a lot of fun though, clever use of physics and not taking itself seriously is always a winning combination

Game looks absolutely bonkers and I'm all about it.

I was really hoping for a Foamy tie in! Still seems nucking futs though so could be worth a coupla quid...

I swear I saw a guy joking about making a squirrel with a gun in Unity a few months ago, as a goofy little project.

Kinda hilarious that it's a game now.

@MrMagic It just does not work for me if you like it good for you. A boycot for what it just looks meh to me but i didn't like Goat simulator either.

There are probably people who love my name is Mayo and good for them play what you like. And yes im drunk i just adjusted my response to make more sense.

@Hyena_socks Sorry no can do. I've got to lead my brigade to victory, there's no turning back now. It should be easy though when the opposition are just a bunch of drama queens.

Seriously though do you think people just wake up one day and decide to start saying everyone gets offended by everything? Yeah there's definitely no cause for it, lets just go with that.

@Flaming_Kaiser I'm not sure what you're trying to say so I'm just going to go ahead and presume your drunk, I hope you had a good time anyway mate. 👍

@MrMagic I’m not sure a game about a squirrel with a gun is the right place for a big debate, but I’d say the opposite is also true. People develop beliefs and morals over time.

BUT, I think we can both agree, that’s why it’s nice to have completely silly games like this. Put all that to the side and just run around shooting government agents as a squirrel while pulling sick tricks in your toy RV

@Hyena_socks they are literally pre-offended in their post complaining about a scenario they made up and they have the audacity to complain about other people getting offended by actual issues.

@RBRTMNZ @Hyena_socks My original comment was influenced by the fact I had just watched that IGN Resident Evil 5 video but I was also only being semi-serious to begin with. The actual intention behind it was just to poke fun at the constantly offended. You're right though, this definitely wasn't the place for it so for that I apologise, and yeah this game actually does look fun.

@RBRTMNZ Except these days, half the time they aren't actual issue's, that was the point.

@MrMagic Just because something is not an issue for you does not mean it is not an issue for someone else. In the US many places have made it legal for white people to shoot and kill black people and then just say they were afraid to get away with it. If you took a second to understand other people you might see that their concerns have very real and meaningful causes.

I’m of Mexican decent and had no issues shooting up Mexican American gangs in Cyberpunk. I’m not the type to get offended by this stuff but it’s really not that hard to be understanding of why others do.

I loved Goat Sim on my PS3, this looks like Squirrel Sim. Looks like a game in my future. It may not sound so manly but squirrels can be so cute sometimes.

@RBRTMNZ You mean self defense? Show me the law that says it only applies to white people, I'll wait, anyway trying to associate that to a game about a zombie outbreak in Africa is utterly ridiculous, I'm sure there's a lot of messed up stuff that happens in America and also the rest of the world for that matter but I wasn't referring to serious issues, I'm talking about the minuscule and trivial ones or the ones that are actually none existent until some self righteous holier than thou attention seeker tries to create one and pair it with a real world issue just because it triggered their victim mentality or hero complex.

Ofc some supposed issues can be more important to some but that doesn't mean the rest of the world has to agree with them, or that they are right about it, or that it is an actual issue in the first place.

@MrMagic If you think it’s just self defense then you’re completely ignorant to what is happening in America and in no place to comment on an American outlet’s interpretation of racial issues. Just because the law does not specifically spell out that it protects white people does not mean that the racist justice system does not apply it as such. White men get away with shooting teens carrying skittles here. White men get away with shooting young black women in the face for knocking on their door after having car issues. White men get away with shooting blank CHILDREN carrying toy guns.

@RBRTMNZ Yeah white men are the problem. They are everything that is wrong with your world. Just how racist are you? You're clowning yourself for trying to associate American problems to a Japanese video game anyway. So what's your solution? Only white guys can be the bad guys in media? As I said before nobody has to agree with your supposed issues. The world does not revolve around you.

@MrMagic Why do I bother with people who are clearly incapable of purposely avoiding understanding nuance?

@RBRTMNZ Whatever you say sunshine and FYI that IGN hit piece was written by an Englishman and there's people from multiple races and ethnicities defending the game in the comments, and yes that includes African Americans. 👍

@Coversnail This has been in development for years, way before Palworld, I'm sure. Started as someone's experiment with tech, on Twitter, but people liked the idea so much, they turned it from an animation to a full blown game. It happens.
