Wait, there's Avatar the movie the game, after there were already Avatar the last airbender games, and there will probably be a new game for that other new avatar movie. Only run-on sentences can convey my confusion.

I don't think they know that we don't give a shit about the game, we only care about the movie.

Wait, this comes out next month?  This will probably be put at the bottom of my Gamefly queue.  Which means I'll never play it.

Looks like The Force Unleashed, gameplaywise. I'm sure that has to do with it being developed by Lucasarts. lol

Yeah, looks kinda average. Still I'm interested to see how they used that Dunia engine. FC2 looked pretty impressive on my rig with the maxed out draw distance and all that vegetation.

The movie was conceived of like 20 years ago and they began working on it like 4-5 years ago. Most movie games are in development for as long as the movie, which is usually a shorter time than big original IP games. Ubisoft said that the longer development time of this movie was allowing the game to get proper development time. If that's true, why does this game have such shitty visuals?

I just don't see why the world needs another button mashy 3rd person action game. The genre isn't that interesting to begin with, and God of War is really all you need in that dept.

It is funny how the environments look so similar to Uncharted 2's jungles yet they look so shitty at the same time too. I am not too interested in this game at all.

Alright, it looked pretty bad, but you cannot say that the part where he smashes the dude with the big hammer thing while invisible wasn't at least a little cool.

The guys on CO-OP claim the game is much better when viewed in 3D. Specifically stating that the textures actually look better even though that's the opposite of what you'd expect. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I agree with Jeff that this looks lame as fuck, but it's also *really* unprofessional and a total disservice to the developers to shit on it like that.

Aside from the disturbing first 5 minutes, I thought it was hilarious as well. And this movie totally looks like a rip off of Dances with Wolves. Take an environment from a Final Fantasy world, add in humans and DnD cat people, and use the plot of Dances with Wolves. Bam, you've got Avatar.

Well one reason might be that every game does not deped on visual to be a good game... perhaps? 
 
 
Anyway, Ubisoft were obviously lying. Look what developers like Infinity Ward and Naughty Dog can do in less than half the supposed time of this game. 
 
Yet another ridiculously bad action game, with an extremely linear story, boring combat, lock on feature (learnt my lesson with GTA), bad visuals and very obvious and annoyingly easy platforming. 
 
Meh.

The trailers for the film look like that stupid Mech battle from THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS mixed with a WORLD OF WARCRAFT cut scene.

I hear it looks good if you have a 3D TV but that's pretty much it. Still want to see the film though.
