Psxextreme: "If you haven't checked out Tony Jaa in the last eight years or so, we implore you to do so; the guy's pretty amazing.
It has been announced that Studio HIVE has secured the game license."
Lyndsay Moir: The minds over at Ong Bak have been working closely with the game developers to ensure that the game has an authentic Ong Bak feel to it. Even the movies main protagonist, Tony Jaa, has lent his likeness to the game character, to give it that true Ong Bak atmosphere. With the game in final development, and the team working towards an imminent Winter release, it won't be long until we can trial out the game ourselves! The CEO at Immanitas Studios himself commented that, “we are confident that we will be able to deliver a game that will appeal to both gamers who love great action games as well as fans of the franchise”.
What do you think of the franchise extending into games, will you be buying it? And are you excited?
OOoo i loved this movie, one of my favorite fighting movies. Tony Jaa is amazing and i hope he comes out with more movies soon. Ong bak 2 and 3 were terrible imo but The Protector was awesome!
Yes, please! I absolutely love the Ong Bak series! 3 was a little slow, but it's still worth a watch. :)
Only the first movie was good, it slowly declined with the sequels, IMO. Anyways...if they can get the combat right and just satisfying to likes of Batman or more so, Sleeping dogs, would be good.
Last week, Thai developer Studio HIVE and film studio Sahamongkol Film International announced that the popular muay Thai martial arts movie series Ong-Bak would be adapted into a game. To find out more about the title, PSLS held an exclusive first interview with Kan Supabanpot, General Manager at Studio HIVE, about Tony Jaa’s involvement, the game’s background and which type of genre it will be. - PSLS
This just peaked my interest more i love Ong-Bak series.
Edit:Since were on the topic of Martial arts games how about a game of IP man??If you don't know that movie you need to watch is asap.
I'll definitely be on the lookout for more information on this game, I'm curious as to how the gameplay will be seeing as it is a side-scrolling game.
Hive Studio announced that they have successfully obtained a license to produce a game which based on Thailand’s action movie, Ong-Bak. A studio which is also based in Thailand was claimed that they would create a high-quality action game for gamers without forgetting the essence of the film.
Weird, but interesting.
His movies are great will keep an eye on this.

It's about time Tony Jaa got a video game. The closest thing we have to an Ong-Bak game is Urban Reign, which is an awesome game that needs a sequel.
I can't wait to see what Studio HIVE can produce.
Yes! I love Ong Bak!!! The third movie wasn't as fight-heavy as the others, but it was still enjoyable.
UMG YES!! i hope this turns out good cause i love the movies
