E3 NEWS! lots MOAR trailers PartIII



(...)
Continuing our way through some of these recently revealed trailers and videos of upcoming titles!
First of all, let's start with something good. Something less violent and mainstream.
I tend to not be much of a "Playstation" guy, probably something to do with my "generation", and growing up with the 16-bits generation. But this game is something everyone who's got any system should check out at least once. (not games like Halo or Uncharted, but this one below)



It's the upcoming re-released Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection!
HD or original, the game at heart is the same.


Speaking of which, there's also a Splinter Cell HD collection coming up.


Simply titled Splinter Cell Trilogy. (HA! They left out Double Agent! hahaha - yes, I am mocking that awful episode) and if this isn't to your liking, having ALREADY played/owning all those 3 and don't care much for re-editions like me, there this:


A brand new title, Splinter Cell 6! But Ubi didn't reveal any footage on its panel...
This one won't be developed by Assassin's Creed team Ubisoft Montreal, but by their new developing team Ubisoft Toronto Studios, freshly opened a little ago.


I thought I'd share this, it looks like Paramount is developing a random Star Trek game for the PSNetwork.



Yeah, it looks as random as it sounds.
MEH :P
(generic scifi survival 3rd person game? uhh...yeah..sure...*roll eyes*)


Do you like BATMAN?
Do you wanna spend some money on ANY BAT-RELATED product??
Here's something while you wait for Arkham City:



It's Gotham City Impostors!
A random rip-off Team Fortress with sort of Bat-inspired character?
(and they say people have so few money in this economy...)


Let's close this post on this movie tie-in, from Spielberg & co!



The Adventures of Tintin, by Ubi.
Yeah, they say it's gonna be a "companion" to the movie. they say they're helping the game come along nicely.
But they always say that. Or that it will expand upon/tell a sidestory.

Anyway, I'll be back for more in another post!

Movie NEWS! Tintin trailer!


Check it out while it's still hot!

The trailer of the upcoming live/CGi hybrid movie Tintin & the Secret of the Unicorn (Tintin 3D) has just hit the web!
But Paramount's taking all of 'em out for some reason!
 

This movie directed by Steven Spielberg & produced by Peter Jackson was still supposed to be a surprise? I'm betting some of you may not know or remember it existed.

Anyway, they're taking all the videos offline.
So I managed to grab it from an online source I doubt they'll take the time to delete it from.

Here, enjoy!



Looking...weird. But good. But weird mostly.

Released officially now:


I think I'll wait for a DVD :P
It's not like this won't make a whole load of bucks from Spielberg & co.

Movie NEWS! American TINTIN

There's finally some pics, a glimps at the look of upcoming The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn live movie.
Well, not really "live". More like CGi with real life backdrops.

Anyway, more below...


The movie is being made, directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson, based on the classic well known Bande Dessinée (that's franco-belgium comics for you non-french speakers) by Hergé.

They are already planning to make 3 (!!) of these.

And here's a sneak peak thanks to a new magazine:


Cartoonistic CGi realistic Tintin.
The dog looks...huh..strange.


Comment:
Boy, I'm glad I'm not a Tintin fan!
Seriously, I'm kind of getting sick of all this CGi animated flicks, tired of it, and nostlagic about past 2D animation....

Though I'm sure kids may love this.
And ol' Tintin european readers (we're talking about those 40+ years old guys who always claims most comics are grabage and only Tintin's good, yeah there's plenty of those here..) will hate this.
I....will probably not see it...

Also, here's a part of the original first live action Tintin movie (from 1961 nonetheless!)
