These days, not as many actors get involved in video game movies. But Sega has had great luck casting its last two Marvel video games, Thor and now Captain America -- both of which are playable in 3D like the movies. Even with the lead actor, Chris Evans, not being interested in games at all, they were able to get the real Captain America to provide the lines in the new Captain America: Super Soldier game. Evans was able to talk about his video game work before descending on San Diego Comic-Con to give fans an exclusive first look at the movie.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Shame about Creative Assembly, they should have just been allowed to do an Alien Isolation sequel.
It was that garbage coh 3 that did them in only a special team can make a sequel worse in every way even though it was a 10 year gap and the same era.
Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive probably run on a shoe string budget so that fits into SEGA better lol
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
Well duh. It's a bunch of short lines he has to read.
“I don’t really play video games,” said Reynolds. “Is there a way to waste more f—ing time?"
Yes there is. Going to see one of your shit movies. That quote made me hate Ryan Reynolds even more now.
As for Evans, he's just not a gamer. Nothing wrong with that. Looking forward to seeing the movie.
How much fun could it really have been?
Bit of an cut up headline, but yeah I cant imagine after being the role of captain america (great fun flick btw) that reading some short lines for a cash in game would be fun. This isnt Uncharted which fully involves the voice actors.
The problem is...people won't open themselves up to the medium.
Chris Evans is a respectable guy. This really doesn't have much to do with him. Reading repetitive and poorly written lines is boring to everyone! Maybe if Naughty Dog had made a game and cast him...he'd be more inclined to say differently.
You can't be open to something you don't understand. Video games are just like books or movies or tv shows. In fact, they may even be MORE entertaining.
Movies don't scare me.
Amnesia scares me.
Books don't make my jaw drop.
God of War 3 makes my jaw drop.
TV Shows don't make me buy special editions for $40 more.
Video games don't... wait...
