Watchmen sequel and retail pack dated, priced and still (likely) boring

by Alexander Sliwinski { Jul 7th 2009 at 5:15PM }

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has put its Watchmen: The End is Nigh release plan cards on the virtual table of scheduling.

Watchmen: The End is Nigh The Complete Experience: Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 and 2 for PS3 + movie (Director's Cut with 25 extra minutes) on July 21 with MSRP of $50.
Watchmen: The End is Nigh Parts 1 and 2 on single disc for Xbox 360 on July 21 for $30.
Watchmen: The End is Nigh Part 2 available July 29 on PC for $15. The title will hit PSN and XBLM on July 30 and August 26, respectively, for $15 (1200).

We've previously said and shown all we need to about the quality of this downloadable movie tie-in title. The "make it expensive" trick won't work this time, like it did with Part 1. If there's a burning desire to purchase a downloadable title in your heart, there are plenty of better games on both systems to drop coin on.

Let me start off by saying I actually thought the Watchmen movie was great

*puts on flameproof suit*

It wasn't the greatest movie ever made, and there sure was a lot oh hype built that it was never had a chance of living up to, but I didn't think it was bad. I was a fan of the graphic novel and I thought it was a fairly smooth translation to the big screen.

Damian @ Jul 7th 2009 5:44PM

Having loved the graphic novel, i thought the movie was really good, although some little things were changed that i thought were odd(the ending for one),it was my favorite movie of 09.

bioadam @ Jul 7th 2009 5:48PM

The movie was great. I'm sure it would have been even better if I hadn't read the graphic novel and known all of the plot twists. That being said, I might check out the Watchmen game when the disk hits the bargain bin.

Jason Statham (Aka Vegeta) @ Jul 7th 2009 6:04PM

If you guys thought the theatrical version was great, you'll absolutely love the Director's Cut. In my opinion, it's a much better film.

I actually thought the movie's ending worked better than the graphic novel's, and I'm a big fan of the GN.

Rentaro @ Jul 7th 2009 11:28PM

I saw the movie without reading the GN and enjoyed it very much. Enjoyed it enough that I went out and bought the GN.

aReEeNeN @ Jul 7th 2009 5:24PM

The re-release will look up and shout save us...And I'll whisper...no!

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 7th 2009 5:27PM

I wonder if the disc for parts 1 and 2 will give you another chance at achievements if you already played part 1

Courtney @ Jul 7th 2009 5:59PM

Are...are you looking for an excuse to play this travesty a second time?

The Dark Wayne @ Jul 7th 2009 6:30PM

hey man, i spent 300 dollars to be Rorschach at the movie's midnight premiere, sucky or not ill play this game, also i kind of enjoyed it. But i wont make the mistake of buying it thanks to gamefly

Rentaro @ Jul 7th 2009 11:29PM

Is he Batman, or is he Rorschach?

*Head explodes*

I liked the first Watchmen game, but it was $5-$10 too expensive. It also needed a lot more moves and counter attacks, but it was kinda fun. Dunno if I want to get the 2nd one yet though.

Neuromancer @ Jul 7th 2009 5:45PM

I'm in the same boat, it was fun and definately visually impressive but now that the excitement surrounding the movie has worn off I'm not real into the idea anymore.

Damian @ Jul 7th 2009 5:41PM

I did not know Vin Diesel was in Watchmen.

He cameoed as Hooded Justice.

Remen @ Jul 7th 2009 5:59PM

Haha Damian, that was my first thought as well.

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 7th 2009 5:44PM

I would pay$30 for the Blu-ray/PS3 game bundle....but damn sure not $50...so I'll wait until Amazon list that and I will make my decision then.....otherwise I'll just get the Blu-ray for $21

wolverine @ Jul 7th 2009 5:51PM

game: sucked balls

David @ Jul 7th 2009 5:52PM

Yay?

Doomtrain @ Jul 7th 2009 5:55PM

I'm sorta torn. I did like the movie and would like to see what had been left out of the theatrical release. I haven't played the game, so I can't say for sure whether or not that it's worth the $50 price for the whole shemoan. I might just hold off until it drops $10 smackers or so. Who knows, when Batman: Arkham Asylum launches in August (hopefully Squeenix won't push the game back any longer), The Watchmen will drop in price. We'll see.
