Ubisoft releases three new vibrant images of James Cameron's Avatar. It showcases a giant rat jumping on a mecha, a helicopter inside a forest of jellyfishes and an orange and purple skinned dinosaur. Space.
.......*drools*....
Sorry this just makes me so excited for the movie. The game is revealing more about the movie than anything has so far.
Talk about gorgeous art though! Is it in 3D??!
Really, it's a good sign they are showing this off early. Most movie games you get little-to-no previews on until they are just popped out. Good movie games (they do happen, sometimes) actually get exposure and press early on, just like any other game. Spider-man 2 was a great example. They had it at E3 a year before the movie even came out.
So I think them getting the word out there on this is a nice sign that the game should be more than a crappy movie tie-in.
Why couldn't they show those pics at the Ubi soft press conference at E3 instead of letting poor James Cameron talk for 20 minutes with only the Avatar logo on screen behind him. :( ubisoft can I have my 2 hours back please...
Remember that AVATAR (the movie) is made for 3D cinema.Looking forward to this film...i'm a big James Cameron fan and he's out of the picture for almost 10 years.Not sure about the game..........it's a movie game!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks incredible! The environments really remind me of Halo 1 (Which was awesome). This game would rock if it were being handled by the guy who was responsible for Beyond good and evil and King kong.
I hope its not open world though! Ubisoft + open world games = disaster :(

Hates need to get out! That speech was totally awesome! It sold me 100% on the game and the movie too but I don't care about movies that much.
Don't Care about movies?!! If there is a movie to care about it's this one. Touted as the next generation in CGI and 3D visuals. You should really look into it....although not that much has been released about it yet.

Well...it LOOKS nice...but damnit it's a movie game :/
Yeah but, LOOK AT IT!
Aliens vs Predator 1 & 2? Goldeneye? There have been good movie games, just that the odds arent on our side =P
I dont know anything about Avatar (i havent checked it out), but the things ive seen from the movie and the game are just so omgwtfbbqlulzorz!! It looks completely crazy, i love it.
Btw this font and layout is horrible on lcd screens. I feel as if im about to get a paper cut on my eyes.
I will stick to the movie, these movie-games aren't my thing.
But looking at these images does give a hint on what the movie looks like in terms of world and art, so I look forward to it because it looks pretty cool.

It is being developed by the team that made King Kong and has been in development as long as the movie according to Cameron. They started as an FPS but threw that out as it did not showcase the characters well enough so I would guess it is a TPS somewhat similar to Lost Planet or Gears although the style is most similar to Halo.
I have guarded high hopes for this as Cameron seems to have been heavily involved and the team has a good track record.

plese gayders, get that high quality Diablo IV real-time cutscene. And DiabloII to check the insane isometric tapestry filled w/ granular detail, if you may. (1 Week ago)

disregards the chock points of "skmirches", the traversel is pretty smooth. Higly recommended and a classic dying breed formula of pc action shooter. (2 Weeks ago)

i'm enjoying Control immensely and for a late last-gen game, going by the Disgusting on-basis unacceptable performance of games/worlds, the base console performance is pretty much decent, if one (2 Weeks ago)

Commented on 2009-06-20 22:14:17Oh, and the only good "movie" game adaptation I've ever played was indeed Spider-Man 2. I still play it till this day, swinging around and all.
