Remington Big Buck Trophy Hunt is a 2002 WINNER hunting game devloped by Stellar Stone and published by GameMill Publishing. Remington, despite its name, does not actually contain hunting for trophies (trophies being a common theme in many of Stellar Stone's creations), and is notable for being the first game to feature lush environments and realistic wildlife. In the game, you play as an All-American big buck trophy hunter who must exterminate furries from Lord Stell's hunting reservation, each one bearing a fraction of HWSNBN's spirit.
Remington, unlike Taxi Racer, was published by then-newcomer GameMill Publishing, and contains many things that would be used in Stellar Stone's future games, such as the graphics engine (Eternity), the physics engine (RigPhysics), the technique of mipmapping, the Gray Void, and the "YOU WIN !" screen. It was a runaway breakthrough success among WINNERs, mainly due to its brutal deer, pristine visuals, scar-inducing music, and gripping story. However, LOSERs felt that Stellar Stone rode off the heels of Taxi Racer, and panned the game due to their inability to comprehend the sheer WINNERness emitting from it.
Remington takes place two years after the events of Taxi Racer, in which Russian cab driver Durik has decided to retire and give in to the All-American culture. He has now assumed the role of big buck trophy hunter. One day when hunting, he is attacked by a deer incarnation of HWSNBN. Because you have not yet embodied the powers of WINNER, you immediately fall into a coma in which you are greeted by Lord Stell. He tells you of a magical land called Russia where Rig and man dominate beast and the evils of LOSER.
When you awake, you find yourself in a Russian hospital with a Remington rifle at your side. You step outside to discover Lord Stell sitting in the cab of Sunrise W12, who kindly drops you off at a hunting reservation to finish your mission. Because you are in Russia, you find that you have amazing powers like the ability to instantly switch between weapons, and the ability to keep your gun perfectly steady no matter how fast you move. Blessed with such gifts, it is your duty to find and exterminate all LOSER furries disguised as deer on the reservation. |
