Game Informer's recent, glowing preview of Ubisoft's upcoming adaptation of the graphic novel-turned-film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World revealed a surprising fact about the game's release plans. As of right now, the download-only title is slated to drop on the PSN in August, then on the Xbox 360 at an unspecified later date.
Though staunch supporters of Microsoft's home console may find Pilgrim's temporary exclusivity irksome, it sounds like the game's shaping up to be worth whatever wait you might be subjected to. An old-school beat-em-up, animated by Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight creator Paul Robertson, orchestrated by Anamanaguchi, and featuring characters from one of our favorite graphic novels of all time? Don't mind if we do.

Yays all around.
Looks to be good, I've probably get it just because of the artist attach. Hoping for at least a very stylish beat-em up.

Alternatively: it could be more like Kings of power 4 Billion %
But less horrifying.

Why is there a penis beside his head?

So, how gay do you have to be to randomly notice male genitals where none exist?...

He's trying to find the next unintentional dick in a video game since the last guy got his 15 minutes for finding the penis in the Borderlands guy mask.

Four player Co-op is going to kick sooo much ass.

I'm skeptical of any Ubisoft game because they have this very particular tendency to suck wild ass.

So saddened by the fact that I still have yet to get a 360 or a PS3. I think this particular game might make me sadder about it than ... well, just about any other game I can think of, really.

Looks like I'm buying my first PSN game. Why? C'mon it's Scott Pilgrim! I hope 'The Boys and Crash' are playable, they're awesome.

a) Scott Pilgrim looks fun
b) Paul Robertson IS fun
c) Anamanaguchi will make both even MORE fun

Holy poop, finally a real game featuring Paul Robertson's pixel art? Count me interested. Guy's stuff may be a bit on the weird side, but his animation work is top-notch.

The ironic thing is that Bryan Lee O'Malley has an Xbox360, but doesn't have a PS3.

Paul Robertson = day 1 purchase.

Sold at Anamanaguchi.
Posted: Jun 11th 2010 8:58AM Zombienutz said
Sold because it is Scott Pilgrim and double sold with Anamanaguchi. I have been looking forward to this game since I heard about it at Anamana's concert at PAX.

I can't bear waiting even longer to get this on XBLA. I are depressorzed.
Screw it. I'm buying a PS3 just so I can get this sooner.
