A screen for two hundred million

About ten years or fifteen years ago, when our favorite games with you on the big screen bear Paul Anderson (Paul Anderson), we are sincerely happy few screen versions and rightly wondered why so few of them. Today is "igrofilmov has been more than enough, not because that much, but because they watch most of them can not at all desire. First, it uveboll primitive. Secondly, uveboll cheap. Thirdly, this is Uwe Boll. The latter, by the way, with indignation took the same one gorgeous adaptation of the game, but it immediately banned from everything in general, and Dmitri �Goblin� Puchkov, in turn, strongly recommended. It is, of course, about movies based on the abhorrent (take what you like) Postal. Nevertheless, the vast majority of films based on the games are still nesmotribelny in principle, although it is sometimes instruct all people responsible and experienced.

Without thinking, the developers of Capcom came to the conclusion that the directors should have to pay just to be generous, and this is now threatening to issue an epic film based on the ... Devil May Cry? If. Bionic Commando? Again, do not go there. Lost Planet, in actual fact. The budget of one hundred and fifty to two hundred millions of evergreens as an indisputable argument quality mouth Toshihiro Tokumaru (Toshihiro Tokumaru) is even convincing, if not to remember that the "Mortal Kombat" was worth 20, and the brilliant "Resident Evil" 33 million. The main thing after all - a decent fundamental principle and as a decent person in the director's chair, without which it is easy to drop into the toilet and the far greater amount than can afford to Capcom.

Story Lost Planet, we recall the story about how all the people of the Earth suddenly turned homeless in open space - our planet died. The replacement was found in the icy and almost lifeless "globe" on behalf of EDNIII, where mad enough to inhabit only a blunt and aggressive insects. As writers, in trying to tell at least something on the basis of such a seed, successfully skidded at the very beginning, the obvious solution came to itself - aloof protagonist memory. Along the way, they say, we shall understand together with "subscriber". However, the deal was not possible by the authors, nor puzzled consumers, resulting in a final memories we shamelessly been knocked again, which served as a kind of bomb plot - indeed, such endings we've ever seen and, hopefully, will not see anymore. Developers themselves, however, believe that the plot has turned to the best is cool and original, and therefore willing to add that movie to significantly expand the universe and the whole drama will open as it should.

Well, let's hope that this same drama Lost Planet will open somewhere else, but on the big screen will show how it was actually only an explanation, like the same "Resident Evil". In any case, the position of a producer being more than appropriate, and yes even with the speaker name - Avi Arad (Avi Arad), responsible for the vast majority of comics adaptations of "Blade" to "Spider-Man."

Dawn Flight Simulator came to an end

Sinister Microsoft ACES studio closed and laid off all its employees (they came under a powerful avalanche reduction initiated by a giant, by the way the primary cleaning unit will be in the Entertainment & Devices). Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the legendary TV series Microsoft Flight Simulator, unfortunately, died.

Now he's just nobody to do. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this event. As is known, Flight Simulator is one of the oldest software Microsoft. "Original" was released in 1982. And many of the laid-off worked on the "air" simulator from the beginning, for over 20 years. We can only guess that they feel these people. What, in X-Plane now there is no strong competitor. As, however, no choice and have fans of realistic virtual flights.

Alien War movie

Directed by Len Wiseman (Len Wiseman) is still kept stony silence about the upcoming adaptation of the hit Project Gears of War (recall that the original was released on the Xbox 360 and PC, while the second part is available only to owners of the console Microsoft).

But today he finally shared some information. It turns out, will not one film, and the trilogy (as is the case with the original). In addition, Wiseman said: "Expect more science fiction than a bloody showdown. I hope that the first movie will be successful so that we can make a trilogy. Yes, something like The Lord of the Rings, only in its more rigid version. By the way, the release of the first film is scheduled for 2010-the year.

What will sell best

Some are studying public opinion polls. Other conduct analytical studies (based on personal experience and historical examples). And someone predicts the future sale upon request. Last - the inheritance of stores. At this time distinguished the legendary Amazon. Ten of the most "important" games of the future looks like, according to The local vendors, as follows.

First place is Mario Power Tennis for the console Nintendo Wii. At the second position of the long-awaited exclusive development for the PlayStation 3 Killzone 2 (powerful advertising campaign, high ratings in the press, "a prophecy of the coming of the new Half-Life�). For the "loud� FPS should Pikmin (again for the Wii). Fourth place is Resident Evil 5 (with a version for PlayStation 3). The fifth line of promising strategy Empire: Total War for PC. In the back of her breathing, another strategy is expected for PC Warhammer: Dawn of War II. Seventh place goes to Halo Wars (Xbox 360). The eighth line of the fighting game Street Fighter IV (in the version for PlayStation 3). The ninth spot Pokemon Platinum for the portable console Nintendo DS. And closes the hit parade Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (again, for the DS).

Of the "tens" can be concluded that the multi-platform projects are beginning to sell better on the PlayStation 3 (in the past it was exactly but on the contrary, defeated Xbox 360). As a leader, it's still Nintendo Wii c its incredibly popular remake of the hit with the GameCube.

Top-most (11-17 January)

Midway rescued

Fighting Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (in which the characters of the universe MK met with superheroes such as Batman and Superman) has been so successful that it helped to Midway to avoid bankruptcy. At least for the next few months. Circulation of the game was 1.8 million copies. As for the representative of this genre is very impressive. By the way, the new "Mortal Kombat" was the most successful virtual fight on the current generation of consoles (and the top-selling game series for pre-order in history). It is worthy of Soul Calibur IV and Virtua Fighter 5 is so successful launches were not.

What, in the near future Mortal Kombat waiting a very serious contender - Street Fighter IV (�Titans again confronts fate, as in the good old 16-bit times). Creators of the game assured that: "The success of our project - the result of sleepless nights and hard work. As it turned out, our forces are not wasted. " By the way, developers have already begun work on a new series (which they already have on record). Unfortunately, no information about the game there.

The release of downloadable add-on is scheduled for 26th February, alas, but the so-called, Epilogue Downloadable Content will be available only for consoles. The possibility of getting DLC on PC is not denied, however, and not confirmed. We hope and expect.

Well, good news on this end and start bad. According to the gentlemen from Warner Brothers, back Lara Croft and continue the cycle of films - different things. Whether fees Angelina Jolie (Angelina Jolie) seemed to them too high, or her face - become familiar, either with age type actress've changed - but in a new tape, which we are now talking about the role of Miss Croft will serve quite a different person . While officially no one has been approved, but rumor more likely to have Megan Fox (Megan Fox), known to us for "Transformers. However, in many it is absolutely not synonymous with Tomb Raider - but from our views with you, alas, little depends.

And wait for the movie, we will in any case, no matter who starred in the role of Lara Croft. And regularly inform you about news, too, do not forget.

Loud projects from Electronic Arts

One of the most powerful companies in the gaming industry is going to change the Electronic Arts Need for Speed series beyond recognition. Today it became known that the work on the new parts of the "legendary" race is in full swing. Of impending autumn (this, 2009 year) we see Need for Speed: Shift for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. As for the less powerful Nintendo Wii and DS, then they provided their project - Need for Speed: Nitro (something like a contestant Mario Kart - extremely arcade, but an exciting race).

In addition, it was stated that in the new part more attention will be paid directly to gameplay, rather than special effects, videos and fashion. In general, promised to return to the "good ol 'days.

According to Munro, we expect many pleasant surprises: �Shift is a simulator, not an arcade. You will find a realistic car behavior and plausible of the driver. Finally, you will find the return type from the cabin, which now can be seen in full 3D �. Well, it's time. Most realistic Need for Speed obviously not hurt. As a developer, then the team is working on Shift SMS (Slightly Mad Studios), has proved itself with such pretty good creatures, as GT Legends and GTR 2. And as assistant officers acted as Black Box.

In Nitro and Shift, EA is preparing Need for Speed: World Online for the Asian market. Release games scheduled for the summer. With regard to the West, where her appearance should wait until the end of the year. Worked on the game Black Box and EA Online. We are waiting for a large-scale MMO project, entirely dedicated to automobiles. The set of machines, parts for their modernization, different races are included. It is planned that there is no subscription fee is required.

Finally, EA said that there is also a fourth secret project in the Universe Need for Speed, which had been worked Black Box. Alas, no details about the game yet. We only know that it exists and will be radically different from the above three projects. Let's wait and believe in a brighter future. Good Need for Speed would not want.
