OMG! Paul Robterson + Anamanaguchi was enough to make me cream my pants. Now hearing that its the Scott Pilgrim game is even creamier. I haven't actually read Scott Pilgrim, but I've heard enough to really enjoy the concept.
 
My buddy saw a really early cut of this movie a couple of days ago, said it was realllly funny. Plus Nigel Godrich did the music, so it's gotta be good. :D
 
Every announcement and trailer and picture and cover and screenshot is so increasingly good news. Its as if I am personally being fellated with excellence.

Are the crazy sound effects part of the movie or was it just the trailer?

Pretty sure we'll see them in the movie.

EDIT: Actually, people who've went to see it should answer this question. But they did mention the game sound effects were in the movie.

I thought the preview's special FX were incomplete.
 
and low quality sprites.
Animation looks great though

Being visuals from a concert, I wouldn't be surprised if those were temporal sprites or even crop outs. Check Zabka's post to see more of Paul Robertson's work. Dude is a 2D legend.

I have wanted to play a game like his films show for ages. The fact that I will be doing that soon and its going to be based on Scott Pilgrim?

OMFG Game of the year.

Yeah, it's a real travesty a game based on a comic with tons of references to NES, SNES, and Genesis games doesn't have stunning hand-drawn HD graphics. :P

I think this is the perfect direction to take with a Scott Pilgrim game.

You know, was thinking this as well. But would have preferred only some elements of the game to be in that format. Imagine if the entire comic looked like that, following the same logic :P
Though, as someone's already mentioned above, the game might take a turn for high quality sprites.

The sprites are perfect and the larger drawings look great! You crazy!

I've never heard of the guy doing the pixel work, or the band doing the music, but they both look and sound fantastic.

Volume 6. Movie. Game. *brain as'plodes*
 
Been meaning to check this series out and the movie announcement pretty much kicked me in the ass to try it out, bought the first 2 volumes and although the 1st was more of an introduction and took a backseat with the jokes the 2nd pretty much had me laughing throughout the whole thing, now I'm looking for money to buy the 3rd after reading the first two the day I bought them since I couldn't put them down. :lol

Yeah, but a comic isn't a video game. Comics almost have to be dynamic. This is a video game. I think it makes perfect sense that a video game based on a comic based on old video games should look like that. Hell, the back of one of the volumes is all isometric sprites. If O'Malley made a SP game himself, I guarantee you he'd use 8/16-bit looking sprites.
 
Some brief comments on the movie from someone at the Criterion forum who saw an advance screening:

...The sound effect words are indeed littered throughout the film, but often rather subtly, at least as opposed to the giant THRAK!s of the fight scenes.

Now, I know relatively nothing of the comic series. The film itself is more colorful than the trailer leads one to believe. What I loved, besides the very obvious Edgar Wright style humor strewn throughout, is that the entire film operates on video game logic. I assume the series is like this as well. The fight scenes are insanely over the top and drawn out until Scott wins, the enemy turns into a heap of coins he casually collects, then appears as if he is just a little tired after the whole ordeal. The film is like a 7 tiered video game boss fight. A lot of wonderful video game touches, such as the opening universal logo being entirely pixelated and the standard theme being programmed with NES-like sound. Also, at one point Scott needs to escape an uncomfortable social situation and retreats to the bathroom where the soothing Legend of Zelda title screen music plays. He pees and a "pee-life bar" slowly diminishes. But what I love is that you can see the reflection of the bar in the bathroom mirror. Simple, silly, but wonderful.

The film also understands how hipster-aimed the story and characters are and attempts to have fun with the fact. Brandon Routh is a telekinetic vegan who attended vegan academy. "How do you have these powers?" asks Scott. "I'm Vegan. We're better than everyone else". Again, simple and silly, but works wonderfully in context.

I read somewhere, possibly even here on GAF, that there are animated segments in the movie. Is that true? (Feel free to spoiler tag the answer or even PM me if you'd like)

The vegan character is one of my favorites so far and I'm so glad that nearly all of the sneak preview impressions say that Routh nailed it. So fucking funny in the comic.
 
Dedication Through Light said:
Wait the guy that plays Nathan Shaw on Chuck is him, lol. Awesome

not sure why thats awesome. his Shaw is so incredibly wooden that i would be worried about him in Scott Pilgrim if it wasnt for Edgar Wright. if he can turn Cera into an awesome Pilgrim, he can turn Routh into a vegan.

Mine too. I was really happy when they cast Routh to play the douchebag. I cant wait.

I havent seen any mention about it for a long time. Brandon Routh talked about an animated sequence in the film in an interview ages ago.

Sounds damn great. I'd say that Edgar Wright has raised the bar again. It's weird seeing him do a big Hollywood film after watching him with Spaced and Bill Bailey's show way back in the day.
