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?

      Here's a good laugh for you then. My brother, his girl friend and my son all have the Galaxy A15 5g and they are working absolutely great. My wife and I both have the A16 and they are working great also. Maybe you are laughing at the specs, but for under $100 I would hope you aren't expecting much.

      We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.

      Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
