I have one purpose and one purpose only for posting this movie trailer for Wargames 2 : The Dead Code. It sucks and you have now been warned. Here’s another once great title smashed to bits by a crappy follow-up that MGM should be ashamed and embarrassed to release.
Coming to theatres June 13th, 2008.
Coming to DVD July 2008.
Slightly older news but it’s something to post with the new trailer:
- Scott Miller (3D Realms Co-founder) says Duke might make it this year.
- 3DR faced the problems of trying to grow large enough to maintain three simultaneous internal projects while developing DNF, and it threw the company back–some shit got canned, and other shit was either set aside or given to third party developers.
- 12 years of development went towards interactive environments that their game engine was not mature enough to handle, so the code was rewritten resulting in a series of complications which produced further setbacks.
- Scott Miller says they’ve finally achieved their goal of creating a “super-interactive” game environment.
- 3DR won’t disclose how many employees they have, but they hired a crap-load of new talent after–and this is what the article says–firing half its employees. That’s interesting, because I had the notion they left on their own–but I’ll leave it at that because I don’t want to start any drama.
- Apparently Bombshell (which was one of the three stand-alone game projects 3DR was working on) is now integrated into DNF. Miller isn’t quoted on the confirmation, but the article says she’s part of the Duke universe as Duke’s action-female counterpart.
- Scott jokes about Duke dying in the end, and goes on to say most of the weapons from Duke3D are back in DNF. Also, Duke is still a controversial character because the company is trying to retain his bad-ass image.
- The entire game is narrated through the first-person view; Duke’s now off duty in Las Vegas where he kicks back at his casino, the “Lady Killer,” which is then raided by aliens.
- Scott admits the project’s come along roughly, but once again uses his “end of the tunnel” metaphor to say the game might finally be on the right track. 2008, here we come.
EA released a trailer for EA Playground. EA Playground is coming to the Wii and is based on games you probably played when you were in elementary school. Games like Dodgeball, kickball, and tetherball. Most games seemed to have a danger of getting smacked in the face with a ball. Or maybe that was my childhood. From the trailer EA Playground looks like it can be fun for younger kids and families. Warning: the trailer below could cause you to overload your cute filter. This can cause side affects. Make sure you are sitting down when watching…
The Transformers are on their way to Earth July 4th, 2007.
I wonder who will be more likely to want to see the film, the kids of today or the kids of 1984 when Transformers first took Earth by storm. If the previews are any indication, both.
Trailer via Youtube below. Additional video links as well as high-res pics can be found by visiting the source.
