E3 2011: The War of the Worlds Preview / Interview

GamePron: I don’t like to play favourites, but I’m going to lay my cards on the table, right here. Whenever anybody has asked me for my “highlight of E3″, Other Ocean‘s interpretation of The War of the Worlds has come out on the top of the list.

For some, that may be a surprising choice – a 2D downloadable platformer, topping out all of the AAA titles and big-name franchises that were flashed at me over those hectic days – but from what I saw of the game, just a handful of us sitting in a quiet room, there’s no question that for me, at least, this one is the stand-out.

If the gameplay matches then visuals I'm sold. I just hope its not devoid of substance like that damned awful Spielberg attempt a few years ago.

Relientk77229d ago

Kneetos229d ago

I wish, but it has my attention

I will be watching

jambola229d ago

most of them have been bad - maybe ok because i was 12

Goodguy01229d ago

I just want a good cel shaded action Avatar game.

Demetrius228d ago

Why cant we get a anime game that's actually good and thoroughly made it don't have to be the typical turn based or when you run into the enemies the scene transform into a mini stage looking area, it would be dope to have in depth combat similar to atleats dmc, anime games always free to play or most of just flat out bad af lmao sheesh

Sega And Paramount Confirm Sonic The Hedgehog 3 In Development

Looks like they will keep this series going. Paramount Pictures and SEGA CORPORATION today announced that they have commenced development on a third feature film installment to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

SDuck1190d ago

this belongs in Filmwatch

Plagasx1190d ago

It's a movie based on a popular video game franchise.. I think they could get away with this one tbh.

Garethvk1190d ago (Edited 1190d ago )

I flagged a movie one earlier and was told it was fine here due to game realtion. It was for Bioshock.

SullysCigar1189d ago

I can see why you'd think that, when VR headsets news sometimes gets the "that belongs in TechSpy" treatment and is failed, despite being about Quest or PSVR...

Garethvk1189d ago

I had always been told that movies regardless of content go on Filmwatch so I did that and then flagged the Bioshock news. I had three disagree and then the flag was lifted so I think it is under that rule that collectibles comes under where one post to announce it is fine but subsequent are not. So I decided to post since earlier in the day Bioshock was allowed.

MaximusPrime_1189d ago

This submission counts as initial announcement so it's good to post on here. Follow-up news, trailers and the like aren't allowed.

-Foxtrot1189d ago

Oh yeah the part of Newsboiler which is dead

Same goes for the others

The rules need changing, if it’s gaming related it should be put on here, means more things are posted and more traffic.

All it needs is a “Film / TV” tag

SDuck1189d ago

The other sites are dead because instead of posting this kind of news there, they post numbers and DVD sales that nobody cares about. Quality control is lacking even here in N4G but majorly there.
Either way, you pointed out a truth I can't deny

monkey6021189d ago

N4G is no longer the place to go for news. Its among the last places to see anything from within the industry now.

It makes me worry about the quality of Sonic 2. I feel like every time a movie company says they're working on a sequel even before the previous movie is released, the quality of said previous movie is terrible.

Garethvk1190d ago

Not to mention a tv series.

porkChop1190d ago

Once the movie has been shot and they're just polishing up the CG and editing, there's no reason they couldn't start writing the sequel. The writers don't handle filming, and the film crew don't handle editing.

cell9891190d ago

Could also mean they're confident in how well done part 2 is that they got the green light for part 3.

-Foxtrot1189d ago

I feel the first Sonic film got the benefit of the doubt because they changed Sonics design and it got them good PR with people wanting to support them

I just don’t get why they added human characters, it should have just been set fully on Mobius

Sitdown1189d ago

That's quite the stretch. Not only does it show confidence in the 2nd, but I think it would indicate a seamless storyline.

I saw Netflix picked up Bioshock as well. I was excited until I realized it would be a Netflix movie. Their original stuff is okay but their adaptations are on the suck side.

Sitdown1189d ago

I thought people loved Witcher?

HarryMasonHerpderp1189d ago

I hated the Witcher tv series. Henry Cavill is great as Geralt and some of the monster's and fights are really cool.
Everything else is just really cheap and cringe to me though, the dialogue is awful and the story is boring.
Nothing has come close to Game of Thrones yet (at least the earlier series) in my opinion.

hotnickles1189d ago (Edited 1189d ago )

The first season was great. The second wasn’t as good. I agree that Cavill is great as Geralt but even he couldn’t save it in my opinion. Bioshock would be better as a series instead of a movie.

Sitdown1189d ago

Oh okay, I haven't watched it...but only considered it because people were so positive about it.

hotnickles1189d ago

Witcher could be one of the exceptions. The movie adaptations are generally on suck side. The series stuff is hit or miss.

I still have yet to watch the first Sonic movie after Paramount and Transformers I am a little leery on Sonic.

cell9891190d ago

It's pretty good for what it is. Jim Carey carries it

porkChop1189d ago

I thought the first was pretty good. If you like classic Jim Carrey roles you'll love him as Dr. Robotnik.

Chocoburger1188d ago (Edited 1188d ago )

Its a bit over rated, and this is coming from a Sonic fan since 1991. Its a strange road-trip film, that doesn't make much sense. A popcorn flick in the truest sense of the word. But it is not an embarrassingly bad film, so keep your expectations in check, lower them, and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised, or at least, satisfied.
I honestly believe that the sequel will be better, or at least I hope so.

autobotdan1190d ago

Where is the Altered Beast movie? I want a Space Harrier movie

This clearly can not be true as reviews say otherwise. Plus the many people that have only played the demo or only read the reviews agree with those reviews.

It is odd that no one talked about how the combat was lacking after the demo was available, not until today it is being said with confidence.

Thank goodness the game is only thirty dollars instead of sixty, so I will just have to get it for myself and judge.

AK912036d ago

From what I played of the demo they did do it correctly but I have yet to play the full game so I'll hold off on my opinions tell then.
