Dredd vs Death trailer

i can't help but get the feeling that i'm the only person that's getting excited about this game.
this is the e3 trailer & i'm gonna have a look for some new screens later...

oh yeah, 2 dredd movies are in production dredd reckoning and posession
hopefully these 3 combined will help drag dredds name out of the muck after stallone raped it:(

Dooom · 08-07-2003 8:50pm

yea stallone should have been shot many times in the face and tehn stabbed a bit for that film. i mean the only reason i watched it was 'cus twas dredd

that trailer's farely nice - can't wait for the game...i mean...its dredd...done well!!!

could you imagine the amount of suicides if you booted up the game only to find stallone's voice when dredd spoke...:eek:

Dredd has suffered the seemingly normal curse of the superhero games and movies being arse.

That said, there's a new crew running 2000ad that seem to have a lot more creative control over these things.

The movie was pants, everything was wrong. The only good points were Mean Machine and Hammerstein.

A decent game immersing oneself in Megacity 1 would certainly make up for that tragidy.

I AM THE LAW!

Not if the feedback Eurogamer gets every time we open our mouths about it is anything to go by. Personally, I'm not ENTIRELY convinced by the look of the game so far, but god, I so want it to be good...

Although personally, my vision is for a GTA3 style game set in the Big Meg, where you play a Judge out busting perps on the streets... It would work so damn well with free-form GTA-ish gameplay too. Mmm. Ah well... maybe some day

(In the meanwhile, for pure "confusing the americans" value, I demand a Devlin Waugh game

)

yeah, gwan rebellion!:)
after playing avp1 & 2 i can't think of a team i'd rather have handling a dredd game.

lmao, "uh ahm dur law!" - "why god, why???" *bang*
hopefully they'll use the voice of whoever's playing joe in the movies... (jean reno if rumours are to be beleived...)

ah well, glad i'm not alone:)

Shinji · 08-07-2003 10:05pm

Hmm... I didn't hear the Jean Reno rumour. I'd kinda assumed that since the movies are CG-animated, they would use the voice actors from the Dredd audio dramas...

LOL! Wouldn't mind seeing a Swifty based game myself (you know it mocks sense

)

I watched the Dredd vid and heard some gravelly "I am the law" and "life imprisonment" sound bites which will do nicely.

The 3d models of Dredd seem to be based on Colin MacNeills artwork, which is nice.

When the movie was rumoured (for eons) I always thought Clint Eastwood was the perfect choice. Right voice, right chin. Doubt he'd do ever it though.

tman · 08-07-2003 11:08pm

cg???
that's the first i've heard of it & i spent an hour googling for info about the films & game last night.
i'm pretty sure it's going to be a live action film...

Shinji · 09-07-2003 12:21am

that's the first i've heard of it

Well, when Rebellion first took over 2000AD the Kingsleys were talking a bit about CG movies, and I think when they opened the movie subsidiary earlier this year there was muttering about that again... Admittedly I couldn't name you a direct source for that right now. I'll do some digging.

(Personally, I'd FAR prefer to see them go down the CG or cel animation route than do live-action....)

0_o ?

Yeah, live action cut-scenes are well cheesy-looking with a game and are usually pants.

suppafly · 09-07-2003 9:18am

just saw the trailer there and i must say it looks pretty cool. I also would like to see cg instead of live action. Would be much better

Your name sake was a character in 2000ad years ago, and it's where I stole the phrase "you know it mocks sense from".

Showing your age there Amp - I hadn't placed that one at ALL

It's funny, I was leafing through this months Megazine on the bog this afternoon and it struck me that actually, aside from the humour value, a Devlin Waugh game would ROCK. He's unconventional, he's overpowered in the scrapping department, he's got odd weaknesses (UV light etc) and he's funny as hell - in the catchphrase department, he's like the anti-DukeNukem. The last page of the Meg this month is a perfect example - the whole "shabby drawing-room horrors like you" line just screams to be shouted from the mouth of a videogame character.

If you could do a Devlin Waugh game that preserved the spirit of the character and the whole "Jean Paul Gaultier campness" of the stories, I seriously think you'd have a truly classic videogame on your hands.

I'd settle for a damn good Nikolai Dante game, though

KdjaCL · 10-07-2003 2:34pm

A Rogue Trooper game would be more to my liking.
But with Dredd using the Q3 engine i wouldnt expect groundbreaking visuals hopefully it will be a decent game.

www.3dgamer.com has apage on it with tonnes of screenies and videos havent seen the E3 trailer but 3dgamer has one that looks rather good.

I recall a Rogue Trooper game on the Amiga over a decade ago. Perhaps unsurprisingly it was a sideways scrolling shooter. No, wait, there was a 3D spaceship shooty bit too. Got a good review, I believe...

Shinji · 10-07-2003 5:52pm

Dredd isn't using the Quake3 engine - it's Rebellion's own engine, coded from scratch.

KdjaCL · 10-07-2003 6:16pm

Its called the Asura engine ,could have sworn i read that it was Q3 (I thought it was meant to be the last Q3 game or that may be a diff game).
Here is 3dgamer page http://www.3dgamers.com/games/dreddvsdeath/

jedi knight: jedi academy uses the q3 engine albeit a considerably tweaked one...i don't know how many more games they can make using the q3 engine i mean its farely dated but it can give up some decent visuals at times....

tman · 10-07-2003 6:29pm

must've been jedi academy that you were thinking of...
/edit
lol, i must've had the post reply window open for about 10 mins before i typed anything:rolleyes:

Retr0gamer · 10-07-2003 8:10pm

Who cares if it looks good or not as long as it's a good game. Recently played Dark Forces again and it's far better than some of the better looking games around now like Unreal 2 and SOF2. I think rebellion will do a great job of it.

Yeah, started at around Prog 500, and religiously got it every week for years, but these days I only get it occasionally. Not sure why I stopped, I think it went through a crap period after Slaine - The Horned God. There was no way they could keep up that sort of quality.

Speaking of Slaine, he'd be fecking perfect for an RPG. Quests, beserker mode, funny sidekick, lots of Celtic stuff to appeal to the huge irish-american market. Of course they'd have to hire Bisley for concept art/storyboarding and Pat Mills to write the storyline to do it properly.

hmmmm that's pretty zarjaz...

I know its not exactly what you meant but theres a D&D version of it which is pretty cool

/me looks at said url with a mixture of wonder and fear.

/me imagines self in a couple of years after playing said game at Gaelcon wearing a Frodo costume

/me runs away screaming

Nevyn · 10-07-2003 11:09pm

cool link hmm must but that on my list of things to aquire

still think a Durham red game would be class and a Sinister Dexter movie

BLITZ_Molloy · 11-07-2003 3:35pm

I remeber seeing a load of screenshots for it a year or two ago and it looked fantastic. They seemed to have toned down the cel shading alot since so it looks alot less unique.

Maybe it's just a bad trailer. I'll be keeping an eye on it anyway. The plot sounded interesting.

loads of new pics & stuff up here (fairly nice site)
apparently it should be out on the 19th:)
the pc shots are looking very tasty (compared to the console version used in the e3 trailer anyway)
