Last night during the SpikeTV Video Game Awards, they premiered the trailers for upcoming movie video game adaptations Watchmen and Terminator Salvation. They also showed a first look at Dante’s Inferno, the Electronic Arts video game which was subject to a bidding war last month which ended with Universal Pictures winning the right to develop a big screen movie adaptation. Check out the trailers on /Gamer: Terminator Salvation, Watchmen: The End is Nigh and Dante’s Inferno.

  • I can't wait to play the new Watchmen game.
  • Could 'Watchmen' be one of those comic books that transcends the genre/stereotype, by not only becoming a great film, but a great video game too? Because in my eyes it's looking that way (albeit, I'm not too fond of the way the video game is being distributed, never have been a fan of episodic content).
  • Watchmen does look like it's covering all bases, huh.
  • Watchmen does look like it;s covering all bases, huh.
  • Anything to pull more money out of a movie, right?
  • Watchmen Game Trailer looks pretty. Also unnecessary.
  • Watchmen Trailer looks pretty. Also unnecessary.
  • TS looks way to much like bionic commando for 360 and ps3. Its the same game engine plus what we saw was very early. Plus watchmen is a download game I think all they need to fix is the rubbery look of the watchmen and the clipping.

    All 3 look horrible. Terminator looks like Gears of war, watchmen had terrible character animations, and dantes inferno just looked plain stupid, how does a warrior with a stabby cross have anything to do with dante and virgils journey?
  • Dante's Inferno looks the most promising. TS has some of what seems to be poor game play choices. Watchmen just looks bad.
  • Jordan's comment makes me very sad as a comic book fan. By doing this, Warner Bros has gotten people to ignore the fact that this story was never meant to be told in any other form. Alan Moore wrote it to show that comic books were just as legitimate as movies when used as a storytelling device. By doing a video game, they just go further to show their ignorance of the material in their rush to adapt any and every comic book ever made. I think Alan Moore has the right idea in secluding himself from crap like this.
  • I'm no huge Comic buff and I'll say that right now, but for me, the average Joe who picks up his copies of Watchmen/The Killing Joke/Year One simply because they are an interesting and engaging read, a prequel Video Game does nothing more than direct more attention towards the original novel and hopefully garner more interest, more readers and ultimately in the long run more people able to engage with the inner meanings of Moore's writing (I'd be stupid to simply call Watchmen a 'simple comic book' as it is clearly a lot more than that). Again this was my initial opinion, however...

    Ironically enough Joe, after watching Transporter 3 tonight (ugh!), a huge comic or 'graphic novel' fan [friend of mine] who proclaims himself to be a 'buff' did mention to me that by bringing out a VG/Film they are considerably detracting away from the real purpose of the comic that Alan Moore wrote and while I probably will go see it in the cinema, he won't.

    Watchmen: The End is Nigh looks really bad. Poor animation of movement and fighting, especially for how far we've come in the world of video games. Besides, Watchmen as a video game? Really?

    Do we need one of the most cerebral superhero properties of all time turned into a beat 'em up/puzzle game?
  • The Terminator game looks fantastic.
