    Yeah, they share nothing in common, outside of involving aliens attacking Earth.

    Google Glass, another horrid idea.

    Why is Arnold still shooting from the hip? It looks stupid.

    I am not sure how this news regarding ZOE3 and an upcoming PS3 patch (due July 25) for the HD Collection slipped through the cracks. Siliconera: We Might Have To Wait A Little Longer For A Zone Of The Enders Sequel Zone of the Enders HD Collection’s transition from 30 FPS to 60 was not as smooth as Kojima had hoped for. While it wasn’t as noticeable to first-time players, those who enjoyed the original seamless fast-paced games were able to feel the choppiness. Kojima believes that such action-heavy games deserve nothing but the smoothest gameplay to fully enjoy. Due to this problem, Kojima and his team have re-programmed the entire game, and will release a free PlayStation 3 patch that should fix the problem and greatly enhance its performance. There won’t be a patch for the Xbox 360 version for the time being. Not only has this incident prompted Kojima to work on a patch to fix the problem, but it has also put a halt to the Enders’s Project which was announced last year as a Zone of the Enders sequel. The entire team behind the project has been dismantled, as Kojima would like to re-evaluate the franchise before moving forward, he says. Furthermore, he also wants to re-evaluate fans by asking once more, whether they would still like to see a Zone of the Enders sequel. If this patch does what Kojima is promising, I may pick up the HD release afterall.

    I'm surprised they haven't tried Kickstarter.

    I love good film; I don't like crap. Your average person likes a lot of crap. Man, I'm a fiend for swordfish steak.

    TheForce.net: DICE 'Begged' To Do New Battlefront Game In an interview over at ComputerAndVideoGames.com, EA Games executive vice president Patrick Söderlund described how EA's DICE studio asked for the opportunity to develop a new Battlefront game as part of EA's exclusive multi-year Star Wars deal with Disney. According to Söderlund, DICE was adamant about developing the game, which was a surprise coming from a studio with a history of preferring original properties like Battlefield. Here's the Star Wars part of CVG's interview with Söderlund: So one of your big surprises was DICE working on the new Star Wars: Battlefront. As you said, that's pretty much a match made in heaven for fans... but those sorts of dream collaborations don't happen often. I'm glad you say that because it was almost not happening. It was just something as boring as resources and availability. The DICE guys Karl Magnus Troedsson and Patrick Bach were talking and I told them we were in dialogues with Disney over this deal and they just looked at me and said, "Why haven't you spoken to us? What are you doing? We want to make Battlefront." DICE is a very particular place and they are very proud of what they do and you don't really tell them what to do. I didn't anticipate them wanting to work on a license - they've always been new IP or their own IP. But they were just like, 'we would kill to make this game' and the whole studio started talking about it like, 'please give us this game'. That's when I called Frank [Gibeau, EA Labels boss] and I realised we had something here. 'If they want it that badly, then the game will be freaking awesome - we have to figure it out'. So we figured it out, we got them the game and it was that simple. They begged to do it, the opportunity was there and that's exactly why you'll see a game that will be what it needs to be.

    That's the thing: taken by itself, its an entertaining movie. Sure, it has some problems, but it's still pretty decent. Add in knowledge of the book and it turns to crap.

    Hell, they could have done it as a trilogy based around the three major periods of the novel: the pandemic and the great panic, fortification and survival, and the total war offensive. They didn't even have to stick with the format of the novel (a recounting of past events). They were handed the template for a sprawling blockbuster franchise, and turned it into "Brad Pitt saves the world from zombies in less than two hours."
  14. Duke Togo
    And it's still grossly wrong, not to mention stupid.
  15. Duke Togo
    I re-read the book yesterday, and the movie seems even worse having done so. How could they have missed the mark do badly? It's flabbergasting. Read the book, skip the movie.
  16. Duke Togo
    As a fan of the book, I should add it's almost nothing like the novel. The only thing they have in common is a world-wide epidemic.

    JJ's crew aren't writing this.

    I actually enjoyed it up until the end. It had plenty of issues to be sure, but its essentially a less-solid (but still entertaining) version of Aliens--only with zombies. But then they ruin it with the montage ending that ended the movie about a half-hour short of what it should have been. The ocean flotillas, the great slaughter of zombies using new (old) tactics, and the China revelations are completely missing in the movie. I am greatly disappointed because of the lack of a proper ending. Otherwise its a perfectly entertaining summer flick. My 2 cents? Netflix it, or wait for cable.
  19. Duke Togo
    Based upon the quality of the other movies I've seen this summer, I now expect this to fall flat just like the rest. Why we expect anything other than mediocre from a summer movie at this point is beyond me...
  20. Duke Togo
    By all accounts, that's their plan.

    Might want to re-read what I said there, chief.
  23. Duke Togo
    Just pointing out the paralells between the two. It's a valid point.

    The best part of this movie were the trailers. I want to see the movie they promised.

    Most of the dialog is forgettable, and generally mediocre to bad. The story is all over the place, and has Trek reboot-sized plot holes. Frankly, its shallow and uninspired. There is no flow to the film, and the jumping around in the timeline is only slightly less jarring by the Shaky-Cam 9000 Deluxe they filmed this thing with. To call the score underwhelming is being kind, and it never once soars the way it needs to. And the fight scenes go on way too long and are overblown. The fight in the city elicited laughs in the theater I saw it in (which was largely filled) every time another building got taken out. Just ridiculous.
