Snikt! X-Men Origins: Wolverine CG trailer

by Xav de Matos { Jan 31st 2009 at 7:00PM }

"How come I can't ever just grab a guy and rip him in half?" When X-Men Origins: Wolverine Project Lead, Dan Vondrak, asked why Wolverine had been gimped in every other game he starred in, we got the sneaking suspicion that someone finally "got it." Wolverine is a badass, and this debut CG trailer slowly makes us believe that maybe, just maybe, he will finally get the game we all know he deserves. Check out the trailer after the break.

I love Wolverine. He's my favorite X-Man.

Let's hope this movie will turn out to be a little more than just a generic Hollywood popcorn action movie.

Brucie_K @ Jan 31st 2009 7:06PM

Oops, meant to say *THE movie

This is about the video game.

Deadpool @ Jan 31st 2009 7:05PM

Starring: ME! Deadpool! MUHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Jan 31st 2009 8:08PM

YAAAAY!!!!

someone needs to make a Deadpool game

The Dark Wayne @ Jan 31st 2009 9:17PM

i hope deadpools face gets fucked up or at least he puts on the mask, because a wisecracking pretty boy is not who he is

Rhamsey @ Jan 31st 2009 11:09PM

wait, is deadpool supposed to be in this? i dont want deadpool in another characters movie/game though. not enough people understand him in order to give him the justice he deserves without an origin story. he and joker are the only two i can think of who can pass the 4th wall. i want deadpool looking at the screen, and commenting on how crazy something is in the game. or humming with the music.

yea he's in it. played by Ryan Reynolds.

Brucie_K @ Jan 31st 2009 7:08PM

Damn it, Deadpool. This isn't your movie! You only play a part in it.

Nothing else!

Brucie_K @ Jan 31st 2009 7:10PM

But, this isn't a movie! IT'S ABOUT A VIDEO GAME!

Argh, I need to get some sleep.

GEEEEEEEEZ this looks like the real damn movie.......I wonder how much they spent on the CGI for this game......pre-rendered or not its fuckin beautiful.......

Haggard @ Jan 31st 2009 9:14PM

That bit where he bursts out of the tank has to be some of the best CG I've seen this side of hollywood.

Totally. I got confused about halfway through if I was actually watching a trailer for the movie. Hopefully this one will be good.

abc123 @ Jan 31st 2009 7:36PM

Hopefully this game will turn out alright, it could be fun, but the last wolverine game so was so bad...

Deadpool @ Jan 31st 2009 8:06PM

Wait a second, is that me in the trailer? The dude with the swords 20 seconds into it? Sweet! I knew my old buddy Wolverine wouldn't forget me! Even if he cut my head off....or when I shot him point blank in the face.....or when I blew him up with a car bomb...or when....you know what that's not the point. The point is, I hope they don't screw me over like they did Cyclops! Heh Heh...and he REALLY got screwed over.

MBO @ Jan 31st 2009 8:31PM

lol is wolverine not breathing or wut? does he have gills?

The Dark Wayne @ Jan 31st 2009 9:19PM

maybe he just regenerates whatever tissue dies from not having oxygen

Wiinterfang @ Feb 1st 2009 7:23PM

huh? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!?

*Mindblowns into little pieces*

NamePending @ Jan 31st 2009 9:17PM

Hold on a sec, if Wolvie can heal himself to the extent of being immortal, what was the point of giving him an extra strong metal skeleton?

the_thriller @ Jan 31st 2009 9:22PM

Well, Wolverine may be able to heal, but if his body is sliced up into pieces then he can be separated and be left unable to heal. With the adamantium his body can't be separated.

Aside from that, at the time the Canadian Military didn't know that he could heal from 'anything'. At least in the comics.

The Dark Wayne @ Jan 31st 2009 10:10PM

because metal makes it easier to cut things. He wouldnt be so great in a fight if his claw bones broke every couple of hits

Xav de Matos @ Feb 1st 2009 1:31AM

What else is he going to use to kill people? Harsh language?

ThornedVenom (of the Fidlious Clan of Wong) @ Feb 1st 2009 1:58AM

What use of being immortal if you can't even break out of your own cage?

toonces @ Feb 2nd 2009 10:07AM

@the_thriller

WTF!?!? Canada has a militiary...When did Canada get a military? Oh, that must be backstory from the comic book I didn't read. Ok, Canada can have a military then.

According to a buddy of mine who works for one of Activision's testing firms, this game does indeed finally do Wolverine some justice.

The game may very well be better than the movie.
