See Wolverine battle Gambit in new X-Men Origins trailer

by Justin McElroy { Apr 14th 2009 at 4:30PM }

Would someone please remind us that we're not supposed to be this excited about a licensed game? Because we're going to be straight with you, when ... well, when that last thing happens in this new trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine, our fists pumped above our heads of their own accord. It was like they had fist-minds of their own.

Though we've seen other trailers that were graphically slicker, we appreciate that Activision's using a lot of in-game footage here. If we get to ride The Blob through a grocery store in-game, we need to be excused to make a reservation.

So maz you've never burned a cd for a friend or made a mix cd for them or have any mix cd's from friends or anything like that? For some reason I think you're lying...

Markez @ Apr 14th 2009 6:29PM

GooOOOOOoOOODDD DAAAAYuumMMM!!!

Wolverine and Gambit didn't really fight too much in the movie, I wonder how much time will be spent fighting him in the game?

JoeTheBlow @ Apr 14th 2009 4:41PM

Oi! No spoilers!
Ye dirty piratin' dog ya.

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Apr 14th 2009 4:44PM

You guys need to chill out. You all already knew he was going to fight Gambit, it was in the trailers.

cuso26 @ Apr 14th 2009 4:47PM

Right, because the trailers told us how much they'd be fighting.

Pirate scum.

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Apr 14th 2009 4:51PM

Please explain to me how knowing the length of a fight is a spoiler?

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Apr 14th 2009 4:52PM

And also, let he/she with the 100% legal music on their iPod be the first to throw the stone.

*Jesus runs up a clubs CTC with a rather large stone*

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Apr 14th 2009 4:57PM

*Jesus then stones everyone else on this forum, because lets be honest we've all borrowed a friends CD, put downloaded music on our ipods, burned a CD, made a mix CD/tape for someone, or anything else like that*

Erluti @ Apr 14th 2009 4:59PM

*Throws a stone, even though he owns a Zune."

Mazrael @ Apr 14th 2009 5:34PM

Sony MP3 Walkman for the record, with over 1,000 tracks that are from my own CD's. not one 'illegal' track.. I'll throw stones too

Fafhrdd @ Apr 14th 2009 6:13PM

I'll throw the first stone... I have 100% paid (either via the iTunes store or CD that I paid for) music on my iPod and computer....

You act like people like me don't exist....

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Apr 14th 2009 6:37PM

No, I act like people like you are in a very small minority. I'm sure you've burned a CD for someone, or something like that though.

SuckItTrebek @ Apr 15th 2009 2:02AM

Yeah, you pirate scum, how DARE you steal something which isn't commercially available nor ever will be!

shadowhowl1900 @ Apr 14th 2009 4:39PM

Fafhrdd @ Apr 14th 2009 6:15PM

Of course he is... not the first time his done this as well... He has also been our of the orbit...

Wolvernine rocks...

NoughtSoClever @ Apr 14th 2009 8:26PM

Just one sec...let me get my 'WTF? to English' dictionary.

JoeTheBlow @ Apr 14th 2009 4:40PM

Eh, it was alright, very movie trailer-ish.

How do they play this, hit-point/game-wise? He's pretty much unkillable in the comics isn't he, like a vicious hairy Superman, so how is his health defined?

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Apr 14th 2009 4:43PM

Exactly. I mean in the end of the 3rd movie he kills Jean by walking through her fire and having all his skin burn off, yet he still lives. If a couple bullets end up killing me that will be lame.

BlaqueBeird @ Apr 14th 2009 4:54PM

Fire? I always thought it she was just ripping things apart with telekinesis.

CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Apr 14th 2009 4:55PM

Hhhmmm, maybe you're right, it's been a while since I watched the 3rd one. I kinda thought it was fire though, I mean she was Phoenix after all.

Nadril @ Apr 14th 2009 4:56PM

Acording to the article on Arstechnica Wolverine will eventually take so much damage that his systems will sort of "shut down". Needless to say I think he can take a lot of hits.

This game is actually looking better and better, I think it will be worth playing.

NoughtSoClever @ Apr 14th 2009 8:29PM

It's probably your typical Halo-esq take-too-much-damage-over-a-short-time thing where you just got to get out of the line of fire to regen your health. Maybe they will have those ademantium pants that Wolverine wore at the end of X3. You know, the ones that were all that was left when he finally made it to Jean.
