Here's a link to said trailer.

This looks pretty cool. Never played Heavenly Sword, but I'd like to see this.

Perhaps it will work better as a film than a game in my opinion.

Interesting. I heard the game itself was more or less a mediocre title, so seeing that a movie is still being made based on it is sort of surprising. Hopefully the fact that it's CGI will allievate the initial "video game movies suck" backlash...

Nope.

You can thank Tekken Blood Vengeance for that. Awesome fights, terrible plot and characters.

Boy did I forget about that one. I was more of a Sly Cooper fan.

Anyway, I'm surprised I didn't see Kai in the trailer. She's probably the game's Breakout Character. You see more fanart of her than Nariko.

That's probably why. tongue Nariko was the central character, they wouldn't want another who could outshine her.

They also just released the Enslaved Director's Cut or whatever. When Dm C fell out of focus, they immediately pulled out two more projects, which are just extensions of previous things they did.

Wut?

Why, of all possible games to pick up for a film adaptation, do they pick the poor-to-mediocre God Of War knock-off? Aren't films supposed to be an incredibly risky and expensive investment? You'd think they'd pick a title with a little more "star power", so to speak.

This is a direct-to-dvd feature basically. It sounds like it isn't getting any sort of theatrical release. And the visual quality doesn't look much better than the original game.

Well I found out a few things about this project. 1) Ninja Theory apparently isn't involved. and 2) Sony is trying to start up a line of video-game based movies. The other one looks way better already. Ratchet and Clank if you're interested.

I... legitimately don't know how to react to both those statements.

[up][up]If that's true, they're starting from the bottom, because she's the least iconic character on the roster. She had one game, and it wasn't even that good (even Fat Princess had a PSP port and was the most popular PSN game up until Journey).
