Avatar mutliplayer trailer pits giant blue things against humans

November 29th, 2009 at 08:30pm Under Xbox 360

It could happen this week, it could happen next week, but sometime in the month of December, Ubisoft will decide to liberate Avatar from the shackles of game development. And when that happens, we’re prepared to go directly online and start popping 10-foot blue things with our big human weapons. This is about survival, ya dig?

It appears that in addition to simply plugging bullets into the creatures, Ubisoft will also be allowing for some form of capture the flag (wait, isn’t this about survival?). Other than that one crucial detail, the only info we gleaned from the multiplayer trailer above is that there’ll be a ton of explosions, even more mid-air flip-kicks, and explosion/flip-kick-laden jungle combat when the game does finally come out. For now, unfortunately, you’ll have to sate yourselves with something totally boring like Modern Warfare 2. Humans against humans? Pssshhht, that’s so mid-November.

Dark Void film adaptation announced

November 19th, 2009 at 04:30pm Under Xbox 360

Preemptively cutting off complaints that it strays too far from the source material, Capcom has announced a film adaptation of a game you haven’t played yet: Dark Void, next year’s promising third-person shooter from Airtight Games. In line with the agreement reached between Capcom, Reliance BIG Entertainment and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment production company, Dark Void is primed as a “sci-fi action franchise and potential starring vehicle for Pitt.”

While the parties involved decide whether or not the movie is indeed the Pitt’s, someone should probably point out that as far as starring vehicles go, a jetpack is probably the best one. Players will beat Hollywood to the punch and experience it for themselves when Dark Void lands on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 19, 2010 in North America and January 22, 2010 in Europe.
