I've actually always felt that if he dropped the wubwub stuff Skrillex would be a great game composer. His remix of Love in Motion is outta sight (aside from the wubwub drop in the middle)

Couldn't they strike a deal with Microsoft/Activision for Halo/Call of Duty instead of Hero's Duty? Would be awesome but very difficult to position on-screen I admit.

Because the movie is not Wreck-it ralph and the videogame references and cameos.

They have to create their own things along with some of the cameos too.
Sugar rush is a expy of Mario kart like games, Wreck-it ralph is straight up Donkey kong inspired.

Hero's Duty is basically a expy of every modern FPS.

I understand but now it's some mixture of representatives from existing games and fake games in one film, while this is an opportunity to bring the greatest from all corners of the gaming industry together.

Im going to assume that they need to come up with their own games so they can bend them to fit whatever plot they've come up with. Theres no space bugs (or whatever Ralph is being attacked by in the trailer) in Call of Duty for example.

Besides, for all we know, Master Chief could have a cameo. For FPS games, he does have an iconic design compared to drawing from Call of Duty, which is a generic modern military setting.

The thing is that Disney likely preferred to use original characters fitting video game archetypes for the main cast of the story, much like Woody and Buzz were the main cast of the first Toy Story and were original characters fitting toy archetypes. It's also like Roger Rabbit being one of the main cast of his movie but also being an original creation fitting a cartoon archetype.

Sgt. Calhoun is part of the main cast and was supposed to be from a modern game, so they designed her and her setting around what was common for video games right now. Thus Hero's Duty is drawing from the archetype of the dudebro shooter, much like Fix-It Felix Jr. is drawing from the archetype of the 1980s platformer and Sugar Rush is drawing from the archetype of the Kart Racer... I assume any sequel with more main characters from different games would also be original creations drawing from other video game archetypes.

Yeah. Im sure if this was the 80s our discussion would be "Why aren't they using Betty Boop instead of this new Jessica Rabbit character?"

If the subtext of the movie ends up that modern games are fun-free chores desperately to be taken as seriously as Michael bay is, where games of the past were about fun and whimsy, it's unlikely anyone wants to have their game up there as shitty generic shooter 7, even though we all know what games that represents.

It's also a lot harder and less lucrative to merchandise characters and settings you don't own, which for Disney is at least as significant a reason as the creative one.

And has been for quite some time now, it's just that the last few Sonic games weren't even worth buying/playing. I still don't know what Chris Redfield Sonic sounds like.

So off the top of my head, for cameos we have:

Bowser
Q-Bert
Clyde the Ghost
Ryu
Ken
Chun-Li
Zangief
M. Bison
Sonic the Hedgehog
Dr. Robotnik


It's not too bad, but I wish that we would get more cameos on the Nintendo side (Mario & Luigi being the big absences, hopefully DK shows up due to the influence of his arcade game)

Also way too many Street Fighter characters, I love the series (see avatar) but five characters? (Capcpom probably wanted the movie to be filled to the brim with them to promote Street Fighter games such as SFxT...still really disappointed that Dr. Wily isn't showing up)

We've got...
Bowser
Sonic
Dr. Eggman
The Pac-Man Ghosts (Clyde has his speaking role, Blinky, Pinky, and Inky show up in the background, and I think I spotted Spunky, the grey ghost from Pac-Mania)
A zombie from House of the Dead
Neff, the final boss of Altered Beast
A character from Cyborg Justice
A significant portion of the cast of Super Street Fighter II Turbo (Ryu, Ken, M. Bison, Zangief, Chun-Li, and Cammy)
Kano
Smoke
Paperboy
The hero of Joust
Most of Q*Bert's cast
All of Pong's cast
Frogger, supposedly
References to Burgertime and Dance Dance Revolution

And I'm pretty sure the pants wearing sun in the background is a Data East character.

As soon as I saw the trailer for this movie when I watched Brave last week, I knew I could not miss it, more movies like this should be made (sad about Mario and Luigi not showing up, at least we have Bowser and other cool chars)

I'm telling you guys, in the clip that had Sonic from the other day I'm 99% sure I saw Tingle and Deku Link in the background.

Skrillex will provide music for the movie.

Makes sense. A movie that references video games, which is historically viewed as having electronic-sounding music, has the soundtrack composed by someone experienced with electronic sound music. And as pointed out, it's going to sound like soundtrack, not dance club beats.

As an example: this was written and composed by U2. Bands/artists don't always just copy/paste their style over to their movie soundtrack work.

Sonic has an event once ever year during the summer in Europe and America. In Europe the event is called Summer of Sonic, in America it's called Sonic Boom. This is an event for fans and while very dorky, has actually proven to be fairly popular. Sonic Boom happened last week and during the event, they announced Wreck-It Ralph as a playable character in Sonic & All-Stars Racing. with this, they also showed an exclusive clip of Wreck-It Ralph, a part where Sonic is in the movie. You can see a cam-corded recording of that clip here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDXCf_gOkMM

EDIT: Oh, if you mean about Deku or Tingle then I'm not certain. The quality is too crappy here, you'd probably would have to see the clip yourself clearly to tell.

DOUBLE EDIT: ACTUALLY now that I'm looking, I DO think I can see Deku Link. o_O At 1:27 in the video I just posted. It looks like it's only a cameo though. He's walking to the right of the screen (when Ralph hands Q*bert a cherry).

Movie looks great, will definitely watch. Too bad there is no way we will get a video game out of this featuring dozens of characters from different IPs.

So... What's the difference between the two versions of the book? I looked at both of the Book Depository entries and, asides from the covers, there doesn't seem to be anything that warrants the £11 difference.
