Games based on movies always suck, right? Well James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game may just be the one to change that, because rather than rushing a game’s development time in to the same development cycle of a typical movie (about eight months or so) Avatar the movie will have had over three years of tweaking and processing in the effects studios by the time its released in December and James Cameron was instrumental in wanting a developer for the game on board from day 1, meaning that this game has also been in development for the full three years.

This will hopefully mean no flawed, clichéd gameplay – although we’ll have to wait for the game’s December release to be sure but until then feast your eyes on the third developer diary in which Cameron and some of the Ubisoft guys talk about the differences in the game depending on whether you choose to play as the invading human forces of the native Na’Vi.

  1. I dunno, Wolverine was good.


    • same here great movie game


  2. The game looks like it will be pretty good. which, like you say, is not usually the case.


  3. The more I see of Avatar, the more I lose interest. The film, in my humble opinion, looks like a pile of tripe therefore the game has no real interest.

    Also, am I the only one that thinks some of the character modelling looks a bit shoddy?

    Sorry, It’s gone 1pm and I seem to have turned into a grump! :)


    • I’m with you gastos. Plus games of films usually follow the same story of the films, making them boring. Trying to spread a limited story a film can offer into what a game can deliver usually doesn’t work.


    • I’m with you too. Not in the slightest interested about this or the film.


      • +1. Not interested in either.


  4. I don’t want to get excited about this one so I’ve been avoiding as many trailers and news stories regarding the game and movie, but it’s been getting increasingly difficult recently!
    Really looking forward to it now!


  5. Looks like a good game and the film looks good too.


  6. the film looks great, the game looks ok, we’ll have to wait and see how they both turn out.
    i’ll be going to see the film whatever, hoping there’ll be a demo of the game.


  7. Y, i need demo too for that one. Almost all film transferms to games suck


  8. I played a bit of this at the Eurogamer Expo. It was actually pretty fun. Reminded me a bit of the Lost Planet 2 demo but way better. Lots of little side quest mission things and the graphics were actually pretty impressive.
