James Cameron talks about the movie and game at Ubisoft Live E3

http://events.us.ubi.com/ Just click on the James Cameron video. Really cool to listen to him talk about the movie and game. He is really involved with Ubisoft and says how important it is to have a game that doesn't "suck" which has happened so many times with Movie/Games. The story line for the game (also being released for PC - YES) will follow a different path then the movie.

It will be the first major steroscopic title.

I'm looking forward to seeing Avatar in theatres. As for the game, I think I might pass on it but who knows. It could be good. The screenshots for the game don't look too bad. Check them out here.

Thanks for the screens. It was promising to hear Cameron make the comment about not wanting to have a game that sucked. The list of movies to games that have flopped is quite long with the exception of James Bond and Tomb Raider and a few other titles that have been relatively successful games. He goes on to talk about choosing Ubisoft and challenging them to some higher standards. If I understood right from the video Ubisoft has incorporated 100 of its own designs into the movie.

Demo is out.

Some shots:

Game looks stunning (not Crysis, but still very good, easily better than anything else this year), optimized too, but that's probably the engine (Dunia Engine). Game supports DX10, and this is how the shots were taken. Everything on max (or Ultra High) + 4AA. The game also supports stereoscopy. I assume even regular red-cyan glasses can be used; haven't tried.

The game seems to have some experience leveling (killing enemies gives you exp.) and there are some abilities. There is a flame-thrower, including the same cool, spreading fire (it also hurts the player). James Cameron loves flame-throwers. :D

The right mouse button is set to 180 degrees turn by default, which is very strange.

I only had time to play this for 5 minutes, but looks not bad at all.

I also look forward to this movie. The good thing is we are going to watch it on one of the Imac screens (five stories high), and true HD surround system. Should be great. Have like what I have seen so far with the trailers and the special about it on television. :D

You realise tomb raider was a game long before before the movie came out right?

    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      I haven't paid for windows since windows 8. So I guess I would be happy to pay for a new version if it meant seeing fewer adverts (none) or product pushes. But that applies to _any_ service or OS.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
