Can you say "Awesome!!"



Here's a major update from Comic Con on all the latest game of Superheroes to come, hope you'll enjoy reading and also watching all the clips that i posted. This is a great deal for gamer-Superheroes genre lovers. Here's a little something from Craveonline. Read on Superheroes.

Comic-Con 2008 came to an end on Sunday and with the event holding roughly 125,000 people there was plenty to see and take in. If you were one of those people there then you probably got lost on the sales floor at least once, but hopefully in that time you got to see all of the amazing things that were on that floor. However if you didn’t, or if you weren’t at Comic-Con then Craveonline’s got your back and these are some of the coolest Video Games we saw this year on the sales floor.


[DC Comics has made a big move to go online with this one, Awesome!!]

DC Universe Online is a MMORPG that will be one to look for over during its development, and it was also a Comic-Con exclusive first look. The game will be a lot like City of heroes but instead of creating a hero of your own you can pick from absolutely any hero in the DC Universe and parade in a huge universe online with players from all over the world as you battle villains from all over the world as well. At the booth you got to play several different demos involving different powers like speed, flight, strength and more. One of the developers made a comment about the comparison between this and City of Heroes;

“While the overall feel of the game play will be that of City of Heroes the one major difference will be the fighting style. The fighting style will be completely based off of a player’s skill and nothing to do with the character they choose. This will allow players to grow more themselves as opposed to looking at a role of the dice.”

The demo is brand new and not even in its alpha stage yet but it already looks good. Make sure to watch more on this as it develops.


[The long awaited game is coming back, Sweet!!]

Activision was also on the sceneand they brought more goodies than one could ask for as they showcased two major titles; Spider-Man: Web of Shadows as well as Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion. While neither had playable demos they both released full official trailers for the first time, as well as holding voice auditions for the voice actors of henchmen for MUA 2.


[Must get for Spidey-gamer fans, the fight scenes looks good]

Let's take a quick look at The new Lego Batman which had stations all over the place with demos set up, I mean this game was at DC, it was at LEGO, it was at Warner Bros and it was in the video game section for random stuff. While this may have seemed a bit excessive the truth was it turned out to be a really good marketing scheme as every time you played the demo at a different station you got a different LEGO piece.


[ Cute...Just plain Cute]

Here's a cool last one, i've posted this game earlier a few months back , but hey...you might wanna check out the hype about it, it's totally awesome guys, check out this special features on the Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, Its wicked cool!!


[Dare i say it again..."Wicked Awesome!!"]

Venom, a potential "Spider-Man" spinoff

["Chocolate...I want Chocolate!"]


The studio had commissioned a draft of the script from Jacob Estes (Mean Creek), but the studio is considering going in a different direction from Estes' script and is seeking writers for a new draft.

Casting also is no simple matter. Topher Grace played the character in the film, but agents have been eyeing the role for their clients, as Sony is not yet convinced the actor can carry a tentpole picture. The Hollywood Reporter adds that neither Sony nor Marvel would comment for the story. Sony is also still developing a fourth "Spider-Man" film for 2011.

DC Comics Making Some Changes with WB


Both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety are reporting that Warner Bros. Pictures is holding new meetings with DC Comics to discuss a new direction for its film adaptations. What is assumed by the trades is that Warner/DC are feeling the pressure with the success of Marvel Studios bringing its many characters to the big screen.

Here's the statement released by WB:

"While we are not going to go into the specifics of the meetings, we're constantly looking at how best to exploit the DC Comics characters and properties. DC is an incredibly valuable asset to Warner Bros. and plays an important role across the entire studio by providing development and franchise opportunities for all media, including films, television, home entertainment, animation, consumer products, video games and digital platforms."

This should be an awesome time to speculate that more DC characters should have their own adaptation coming up soon.
