yukes more like pukes

I applaud this original joke.

 

[Lostconfused]

In my dreams this plays and controls like Robot Alchemic Drive. In reality it'll just be bad, which R.A.D probably also was, if I'm being honest.

If you think that the most creative representation of a remote controlled giant robot that can level city blocks with a swing of an arm is bad. Well sir, I will argue that you have no soul.

But I do agree that any proper Pacific Rim game would have to play like a reskinned R.A.D

Spoiler

or Gigantic Drive as the original title.

When the first trailer for the movie came out I thought that there was no reason why it couldn't be adapted into an awesome game. Had I known Yuke's was involved, I wouldn't have thought it.

 

[Gestault]

Exclusive you say? Console war over, guys.

 

[Totobeni]

Please... Bring on the next gen.

problem is with WB, next gen wont help us here, they didn't even have a game for Man of Steel(Very good movie by the way) The Dark Knight Rises got a shitty iOS game and now this, WB treat movie tie-in video games as a joke.

 

[Hesemonni]

Yuke!

...

 

[ShogunX]

Could be good......but it wont be.

 

[inky]

Wait, I thought this was a PS2 exclusive.

[Goodacre0081]

how much money can they possibly make off such terrible tie-in games? wouldn't it just hurt the brand it's trying to promote?

 

[TheChaos0]

Them destructible cardboard buildings!

 

[Cameron122]

When I die, I'm going to ask the devil

"Why are most mech games shit?"

I will then be kicked out of hell, forever doomed to roll the earth.

>Yukes

Yikes.

 

[SuperSah]

I think i'm going to cry.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

GOTY!

 

[Pandemic]

That was a fantastic game, someone need to buy the IP from Sony and make a sequel.

Agreed, I really enjoyed it. It'd look great on next gen consoles.

 

[robertsan21]

WHY do they put money into these kind of games? WHY? its so bad its scary.

 

[moolhy]

System seller.

 

[Bedlam]

Reminds me of..

I loved this game!

The collapsing buildings looked better in that game than in this trailer btw.

 

[hackdog]

XBox the place to be if you like your mechs. Sorry, not mechs.

 

[EvB]

Looks alright, it's only an XBLA game after all.
I was expecting the videogame equivalent of Atlantic Rim

It's similar to their "Real Steel" game, which for some reason, seems to CONSTANTLY KEEP SELLING on PSN and XBLA, making frequent appearances in the top sales charts for the systems.

So minus all these "Looks So Bad!" comments, if it's similar to that game, it seems to be almost guaranteed to be successful with some odd, potentially dedicated fanbase.

This is probably only going to cost $10, and if it's lower in Microtransactons than Real Steel was, it could even be better as a game.

This trailer makes the game look turn-based though, which is pretty bad presentation. I guess that doesn't mean anything to the movie-tie-in-crazy people they're trying to appeal to, though...

 

[fargofallout]

Launches this week? Way to get the word out.

I feel badly for developers working on licensed stuff. Has to be awful.

Well, in comic cases, they have Infinite Crisis, Injustice, and Arkham, so they're doing good. We just need to wait until they do a comic based Superman game.

 

[Busty]

CONFIDENCE!!!!!

Clearly the publisher has none since we don't even get an idea of what the gameplay is.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Lol I would probably try it if it was on PS3.
Oh well I will just keep playing the superior mech games.

 

[Jrs3000]

Reminds me of..

All they had to do was remake this game too the "T" with their models from the movie, add in online multiplayer and it would've been a a solid game. Sigh..

 

[SJRB]

Judging by the mobile game trailer this is just an upscaled port of sorts.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I get the feeling EviLore's review of the movie won't apply to the game.

 

[Spongebob]

Looks like shit.

 

[enzo_gt]

From Del Toro, this sounds a lot like "hey we needed something to push out something to market it" and not the "real" Pacific Rim video game he wants to do which would require a minimum 3 years of dev time. TBH this looks pretty crap.

 

[RedAssedApe]

So its a wrestling game?

 

[lonely]

Sorry to revive the thread, but are we sure this isn't just a timed for 360? Because the game has been rated for PS3 by PEGI.

[crozier]

I feel really, really bad for the kid whose well-meaning parents buy this for him over Christmas simply because he liked the movie.

The looks horribad.

 

[Lettuce]

So this is just a catwalk sim for robots?????
