That's a very suspicious denial.

True, but not an impossible scenario.
Quantum of Solace was actually a very (very) fun game. Online and off.

Obviously they believe in their product, but it is very dangerous to make such blatant statements; now their game will be criticized even more now that they are qualifying it as a "real game" as opposed to a movie game.

The difference between this and Too Human is that at least it won't be using the analogue stick for attacks. I mean it wasn't a terrible feature but something about pressing the buttons makes you feel more like you're doing something, as opposed to watching your on screen character do it.

Still, it looks interesting, I'll be waiting on seeing what other people say before i put down the cash though. Unless they release a demo. I'm hoping they will.

According to the last EGM, they made the model of Wolverine 'stockier' than Hugh Jackman. So probably shorter like in the comics.

I read the same article.

And while they made him stockier they didn't by any means make him shorter. They just barreled up his chest a little bit and made him less attractive.

From all accounts of people who have been watching the movie the past few days, the movie itself sucks. So will this be one of those weird instances where not only is the game good, but better than the movie it is based on?

eh i guess i could see that. though i always though of butcher bay as sort of an extension of the franchise, not a direct movie tie in coming out the day the movie is released and meant to follow the exact events of the movie its titled exactly after.

Chronicles of Riddick was and is a great movie I beg to differ. It's the epitome of a summer blockbuster.

I read the movie wasn't even complete. Whoever released it will probably end up in prison or with a fine similar to that of the bailout.

Yeah, some parts are missing CGI and I heard even whole scenes are missing. I don't think it's fair to say that it sucks yet.

...That's a tall order.

But I'll say this...at least the guy is actually aware that movie to game (or vice versa) transitioning overall, leaves much to be desired. And it sounds that he/they are making an effort to make sure that it doesn't end up being the next shovelware title...

....but, if they screw it up anyway...that just makes it worse doen't it... :p

Hugh Jackman said that exact same line in the movie, but he said it hmm gently/casually that line we heard in the vid was not Hugh Jackman

Obviously the lines fomr the movie are Huge Jackman the rest are some sound alike(not very good sound alike as we seem to agree)

No kidding.. what were they thinking? I don't want glowing hot pink claws that leave trails to tell me I'm in a pissed off berserker rage. Bone claws shouldn't glow orange like some molten metal. The claw trails in general are ridiculously bright and long to emulate motion blur.

Additionally he's too tall and I bet you they don't bother to even throw in any classic costumes to unlock. On top of this we have to cope with crappy movie Sabertooth, really messed up movie Deadpool.. etc...

I WANT to love this game but even if it's fun all these little details will mount up and leave a bad taste in fan's mouths.

the movie will make you wanna play the game badly becuase it's the events in the movie that put the rage and anger and create the badass we love,. and in the game we get to be him after the events of the movie.

I thought the movie was really, really sloppy.

Just don't expect an Iron Man or even an Incredible Hulk... lean more towards Ang Lee's Hulk.

Except Ang Lee's Hulk was actually pretty decent(and in some cases better than the 2008 film) I think it's better to say that it leans towards Xmen 3 quality.

I agree with Vegeta, I liked the version of Banners origin much better than the comics. The whole "sins of the father" deal was pretty great. I'll admit it wasn't perfect, Hulk didn't even fight a whole lot, and whenever Jennifer Connelly was on the screen it dragged forever

Again, NO. Ang Lee's origin for the Hulk was too convoluted, Bruce's father was a crappy character, and the writing sucked.

And if you are too blind to see its crappiness, I suggest you read this:

The Movie DOES NOT SUCK!!

Xmen Origins:Wolverine is a great movie however it is dissappointing in that it just doesnt have the amount of violence people were expecting. It's the events of this movie that give him his rage and anger and make him the guy we all love. It ends with him in Japan,. Silver Samaria!(if there's a sequel) personally I want a Xmen4, Xmen3 was pretty crappy but set the stage nicely for a 4th one.

As I've said before, you really do sound like someone who works for Fox.

Fact is, movie is shit. And I'll tell you why:

From a non comic book read perspective:
1. It's an incredibly boring and cliched action film.
2. Some of the dialogue is absolutely atrocious.
3. Final fight scene is laughably bad.(LOL BACK TO BACK)

From a comic book nerd perspective:
1. Wolverine whining about killing people
2. continuity errors
3. The raping of Deadpool
4. Silver Fox becoming some generic love interest for Wolverine who's only purpose is to die(twice) giving Wolverine a reason to go on his quest.
5. The raping of Gambit(LOL MAGIC STICK POWERS)
6. Making the reason why Wolverine gets his adamantium claws simply to fight Sabertooth instead of it being because he was an experiement.
7. Random appearances by other mutants that serve no other purpose to the plot other than Fox winking at comic book fans hoping to god they'll be too distracted seeing Gambit or Cyclops to see how horrible the film is.
8. LOL MAGIC ADAMANTIUM BULLETS THAT MAKES WOLVERINE FORGET HIS MEMORY.

In fact the only thing actually decent about the film is Ryan Reynolds performance who is actually pretty funny. But other than that, this film is not worth paying money towards. While I understand the effects weren't all in place, cool special effects won't save a movie that is just poorly done. If you have to see it, just dl it when the final cut becomes available and just hope to god Marvel decides to make a Deadpool movie starring Reynolds since I thought he was the only good thing in the film.

Yeah I'm the best of the "WOLVERINE" movie. HAHAHAHAH! But what can I say, I must have the mutant power to steal the hearts of audiences around the world. Now I know the mouth breathing comic nerds (no offense...maybe some deodorant) may complain about a few things about the movie, but go watch it anyway. You'll like it. Trust me. ^_^


(Ok, just give me the money Fox........what? You ran out? How?............you made the dragonball movie?!!! Screw this!)


DESTROY FOX!!! DON'T WATCH THIS CRAP!!! IT'S NOT LIKE WOLVERINE DIDN"T HAVE 3 MOVIES ALREADY!!! THEY TOOK AWAY MY MOUTH AND SHOVED A LEASH UP MY A$$!! GIVE X-MEN....But more importantly me....Deadpool......BACK TO MARVEL STUDIOS!!

(What? You'll double my money? .....is that it in the suitcase?.....SWEET!$$$$$$)

Umm....nevermind about what I just yelled out. Everything is fine. The movie is great. See? :) Smiley face means everythings allllllllllright. Remember it's out May 1st......you can just.....mark that on....your calender....Money...SEE YA!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

i'll have to admit I was rather dissappointed with all the points you mentioned BUT I still don't think the movie isnt crap and enjoyed it alot still if they hadn't messed up those points you mentioned I would have enjoyed it much Much MUCH more!

And you left out one very important flaw in the movie. Wolverine just wasn't as violent and vicious of a killer as he should be,. he's more violent in the current running animated series(which I love ) !!

joystiq...what does this have to do with the DS aside from it possibly having a version on the DS? The video doesn't even talk about the DS version (if there is one) and the article doesn't give any information that is relevant to the DS. Please don't tag articles with the DS tag unless it HAS information pertaining to the DS. Thanks.

Yeah, I doubt they'll ever fix that. Notice how after the first few weeks of the switch from DSFanboy they stopped responding to complaints in the comment section.

Anyway assuming this game DOES have a DS version, it will suck. Not that the DS is incapable of having awesome games, but platform-wide releases on the whole suck for the DS.

Well I along with too many people have seen the movie and let me personally tell you it sucks to high heaven. So maybe this game has a chance, since it might not follow the movie so much. Then again, it might suck even more, upsetting Wolverine, comic and good cinema fans around the universe.

'and a solemn vow that Wolverine will be "the movie game that finally does not suck." '

You got beaten by around 12 years by GoldenEye, not only the movie game that doesn't suck, but one of the best FPS of all time.

And the only reason for that is because they took their time and released the game a whole two years after the film was in cinemas, they weren't greedy, unlike most of the publishers crack the whip on developers and give them four days to spew out a tie-in game.
