Comics Turned Games!
There are a lot of comics that transition into games, very successfully. The latest one is based on The Red Star, and looks really good!

Those screens look pretty good. Maybe that one will be pretty good, because comics to game adaptations have been pretty hit or miss. I really liked Wolverine: Revenge, but I've hated every Superman game I've ever played. I didn't really like the Spiderman game either.

Yeah, comics-to-games are extremely unpredictable in quality. Titles with the original comic creators involved (like The Red Star) have a much higher chance of success.

Yeah. I guess the smaller companies are more concerned with putting out a quality product. Bigger companies can put out crap and not care, as long as it sells several thousand copies.

There's something to be said for gaining prestige with a quality title. Didn't work out too well for Sega while they also did hardware, but they've survived/thrived based on innovation.

I was reading the EGM last night and saw that there is a 100 Bullets game in production. I didn't even know that they were making that one.

Wow, this is news to me. Is there more info on the creative team/distributor/publisher behind it?

All it says it that it is coming out for PS2, Xbox and GC, and that Acclaim is the one publishing it. Other than that there is nothing. There is a bit of info on some other comics related games that look like they may be okay: Spider-Man 2, X-Men: Legends, The Punisher, and Judge Dredd. There's not much there besides a few screenshots though. Nothing in depth. This issue was more of a "what to look forward to" issue.

Looks cool, thanks for the info! I worry that a video game based on a crime noir comic revolving around conspiracy more than action will be produced with...odd results.
As opposed to, say, Punisher; for all of the emotional baggage that series has, the intent is still to destroy as many things in a loud, public fashion. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] __________________

Here's a look from GameSpy at the 100 Bullets title. It sounds...odd.
Though I don't own a PS2 nor X-Box, it seems like a game I'd avoid anyways. Hate to say it, but it looks like a cash grab to me... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] __________________

There is a story here about the new Punisher game. The screen shots make it look like it will be pretty good. We'll see I guess.

Going by the pics, it does look good; will read it tonight, going to check out Hellboy. [img]smilies/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Edited: Speaking of, why isn't there a game for that? The director's previous effort in Blade 2 should also have had a video game effort. Saw that the first day it was out, theatre was at best half full...hope for a better turnout tonight! [ 04-02-2004: Message edited Headhunter ] __________________

I'm not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination. I did think the 100 Bullets game looked interesting. According to Wizard, the creators were pretty involved in it's creation.
I want to play it, and Tetris is as hardcore as I get. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] __________________

While it isn't technically a comic turned game, City of Heroes is a MMORPG where you become your own comic superhero. I've been waiting for this one for a while, and there is an in depth review of it at UGO.com. Sounds like it's going to be a good one. [ 05-01-2004: Message edited The Crow ] __________________
