Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon is the fourth game in the Destroy All Humans! series, mentioned for release at some point during THQ's 2008 fiscal year.[1] The game has been confirmed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. An entirely separate Destroy All Humans! game, subtitled Big Willy Unleashed, is out now for the Wii system. IGN Pre-E3 2007: Destroy All Humans for Wii Veteran voice actors J. Grant Albrecht and Richard Horvitz will reprise their roles as Cryptosporidium and Orthopox respectively. In Path of the Furon, the destructive alien Crypto is taking on the funkdafied times of the 1970s, adding a bit of disco destruction to the people of earth. Picking up where Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed leaves off, Crypto finds himself attacked by a mysterious new enemy that threatens the entire Furon race. With a conspiracy quickly formed that threatens his way of life, Crypto embarks on a journey to gain enlightenment from an alien Kung Fu master, unlocking new powers that will let him save the Furons once again.

Path of the Furon expands on the open world format of the previous Destroy All Humans! titles -- players will be able to decide what they want to obliterate and what they will spare, with five large open worlds on the ground and in the air (thanks to new augmentations to Crypto's UFO) to obliterate with new weapons and new alien powers (IGN 2007).

Gameplay

Weapons

In the recent trailers and gameplay of the fourth installment of the Destroy All Humans! series, Crypto is seen using some guns from the previous game, and some guns that are new in this game. One that has not been confirmed is the Kosmo Killer as it is widely based on rumor.

  • Abduction Beam - A beam which can abduct a human to your saucer, or abduct a vehicle and toss them around. This weapon is now a vacuum, so multiple humans will be abducted and then instantly processed.

New Handheld Weapons

  • Venus Human Trap - This weapon calls in a giant alien eating plant just like Burrow Beast and also can spit out brain stems and amunition. Will replace the Burrow Beast.

Locations

Plot

The story takes place in the late 1970s. After spending nearly twenty years on Earth collecting brain stems for the Furon Empire, Crypto has lost his way. Having "gone native," he has opened a family friendly casino designed to create a steady stream of DNA income. Yet, he is haunted by a mysterious voice that tells him to come to the city of Shen Long. Suddenly, Crypto's swanky life is rocked by the emergence of a new threat from Crypto's homeworld, Gorta.

What ensues is a conspiracy that threatens the Furon Empire, bringing Crypto down a path of enlightenment, to do what he does best: Destroy All Humans.

The game will parody 1970s-era movies such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Wars, and Earthquake.

Characters

  • Cryptosporidium 138 (Crypto for short) is the main character of the series. He is a wise-cracking and sarcastic alien who manages to take control of the USA at the end of Destroy All Humans. Any lives lost causing Crypto 139, 140, etc. is not continued.
  • Orthopox 13 (Pox for short) is Crypto's boss and mastermind behind the invasion of Earth. After the destruction of the mother ship and his death at the beginning of Destroy All Humans! 2, he is now little more than a hologram. His new status is second-in-command of the Furon navy.
  • The Master is an old and seemingly wise Furon, whose psychic powers are very strong. He is shown having an army of monks with him. According to Crypto in a trailer he enters his dreams and calls him. Apparently, the Master knows who is behind Crypto's recent troubles.
