However, Namco Bandai said that Dead to Rights: Retribution will form an origin story portraying key events that shape and define Jack Slate’s character including how he and Shadow first come together as partners against those who would bring the once great city to its knees. (Just to make sure everything’s clear, Shadow is Slate’s dog)
The developers also announced that they plan for the upcoming title to deliver a “hybrid combat system” which will mix hand-to-hand combat with gunplay which will probably be a great addition. Until we get even more details about the upcoming Dead to Rights: Retribution, we can only look at the exclusive screenshots 1UP received from Namco.
