| New Mortal Kombat Movie in Development From the Director of Rebirth and Legacy Posted: 30 Sep 2011 05:14 AM PDT Mortal Kombat: Rebirth was an eight-minute video (embedded below) that showed it’s possible to make an interesting, serious movie based on the notoriously violent fighting game franchise. Its purpose was unclear at first, but we soon learned it was intended as a pitch for a new Mortal Kombat film. Director Kevin Tancharoen eventually secured a deal to produce a web series to promote the new Mortal Kombat game. The nine-part Mortal Kombat: Legacy series was released on YouTube between April and July. It’s now being reported by both the LA Times and Deadline that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has teamed up with the Warner-owned New Line Cinema to make a brand-new, live-action Mortal Kombat movie with Tancharoen in the director’s chair. The movie came about entirely because of the online work Tancharoen did, according to New Line president Toby Emmerich. It will be written Oren Uziel, who contributed to Rebirth, and is expected to be out in 2013. Tancharoen claims the movie will, like the web content, offer a more serious take on the series. The hope is that its release will be timed with either the next game or in such a way that the DVD and Blu-ray release can be packaged with the game. The original Mortal Kombat had its issues but was certainly watchable. It ended up grossing over $122 million worldwide. Its sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, was far less successful at the box office and was nowhere near as good as the original. Both were fairly cheesy and didn’t have anywhere near the serious tone of Tancharoen’s work, whose most significant directorial work was the mediocre Fame, released in 2009. I didn’t think this day would ever come, but I am legitimately excited for this movie. What do you think? Will Tancharoen be able to transfer what he’s done so far to the big screen?

| Free Team Fortress Side-Scrolling Demake Out Now Posted: 29 Sep 2011 05:10 PM PDT Team Fortress Arcade reimagines the first-person shooter as a side-scrolling beat-em-up with guns. It features the nine character classes from the real Team Fortress, each of which has been designed around their TF2 counterparts — attributes like speed, health, and so on are accurate to Valve’s FPS. The game — which you can download here, courtesy of Piki Geek — features a four-player cooperative mode that is unfortunately restricted to local multiplayer (for now). Ruth, who describes himself as “a BIG fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles, Final Fight, Streets Of Rage, X-Men Arcade and the mostly forgotten DJ Boy,” said he chose to feature the blue team as it’s the attacking team in TF2. In a “couple months” he intends on adding new game modes, difficulty challenges, and, most importantly, online multiplayer. Hats have become a key part of TF2 since they were introduced by Valve. Unfortunately, there are none to be seen in TFA because of the sheer amount of work that would be involved with adding them. “I would LOVE to keep the hat stuff intact, but because this game is a sprite based 2D game, that means that I would have to draw hats directly on to sprites, which means that there would be a LOT of room and A LOT of extra programming just to add a functioning hat system that ultimately has no place in a side-scroller anyways,” he explained. “It’s not that I don’t care or I don’t love hat collecting, but its just not realistic for this title. There is a nod to some in-game hats in TFA though, so keep your eyes peeled!” Posted by: admin in Gaming News Thank you for Visiting Gameforumer.com, Hope you enjoyed the stay with us. |
