So Iron Man 3 has already released like seven separate character posters and four trailers so should it be out of the realm of possibility that they will release individual pictures for all 40 armors used in the movie?
The first four shown are the Mark 17 (Heartbreaker), Mark 33 (Silver Centurion), Mark 38 (Igor) and the Mark 40 (Shotgun).
The Mark 40 kind of reminds me of the new Robocop armor. The Mark 38 has gained the nickname Hulkbuster for obvious reasons. When Pepper Pott’s armor (presumably) is shown off maybe it will have the moniker Ballbuster.
We will keep updating armors as they are released. Iron Man 3 releases on May 3rd.
I have been doing my best to temper my expectations when it comes to The Wolverine. Even though the new movie is based on one of the greatest Wolvie stories ever written and knowing that Hugh Jackman has said that they are trying to fix the clusterfu** that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I remain steadfast in not getting too excited about the movie.
Hey, it’s the first trailer for the movie. Let’s take a look.
So EA had their big Battlefield 4 reveal last night showing 17 minutes of the game in an attempt to show how this game will be a new era for Battlefield. While the game is undeniably beautiful, the new era thing may be a bit much. After watching it, here is what I took away from the footage:
1. The game might as well be called Military Again: Shoot Things.
2. It is now a requirement that all modern military shooters must shoot down at least one helicopter every three missions.
3. This does at least make me excited to see what other games that utilize the Frostbite 3 engine (next Mass Effect) will look like.
4. Can we just go back to shooting Nazis….at least for a few years?
5. The guy named Irish (?) looks like Booker T. I kept waiting for him to do a spinaroonie in the middle of a firefight.
Every time I watch a new Epic Rap Battle the one part that always amazes me is the writing. Like with the Nikola Tesla vs. Thomas Edison rap a few weeks back this fits in every reference it possibly can with the two characters. Ruth’s excessive eating and whoring and Armstrong’s drug use, Sheryl Crow and of course, his single, solitary nut. Applause all around.
You thought Gerard Butler was the only guy that could save the President? Wrong! This summer it will be Channing Tatum’s turn. The first trailer has just gone up for Roland Emmerich’s White House Down and don’t write this movie off just because it is opening a few months after Olympus Has Fallen.
Now everyone should know that I am not the biggest Channing Tatum fan. Not because of how popular he is, but just the fact that he has a hard time……acting. The trailer has a different feel to it beginning with a very prophetic quote by Abraham Lincoln and spending most of the run time in a forced silence.
Remember back in 1998 when Deep Impact opened and Morgan Freeman was president and that idea was the greatest idea in history? A lot of people liked Deep Impact, then Armageddon opened up in the summer and completely kicked Deep Impact in the taint. So who knows, maybe Channing Tatum will win this round with King Leonidas.
There are only a few short days left until [amazon_link id=”B0060MYM7O” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Game of Thrones[/amazon_link] premieres on HBO. Who’s ready? Who here is only watching the show and any of what I am about to type will make absolutely no sense to you?
Red Wedding, Meera and Jojen, Thoros of Myr, Mance Rayder, Tormund Giantsbane, Sam the Slayer, stumpy Jaime.
But you will know soon enough.
Game of Thrones premieres this Sunday, March 31st.
A new trailer for Ubisoft’s [amazon_link id=”B00BGHUS58″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Watch Dogs[/amazon_link] has gone up today. Well I say new in a very loose way. It is the trailer we saw at the PS4 event back in February only it has been dubbed over with a woman giving narration about all of the illegal activities that protagonist Aiden Pearce partakes in including; hacking people’s bank accounts to get cash from an ATM and use the city’s security system to evade police.
Oh and he also beats the shit out of an abusive ex who tries to assault a woman. Good times.
Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim is one of the best looking movies of the summer and if people ask me to describe the movie to them I will simply say this:
Imagine the creatures are Decepticons and it is how Transformers should have been.
A new poster has just been released and I would assume it will be the first in a series of single robot posters. This first one features one called Coyote Tango who is set in Japan. Just remember to say domo arigato, Mr. Roboto when he saves your ass.
In case you missed the trailer for the robots punch shit flick, check it out below.
Square Enix is the company that doesn’t realize they aren’t as big a player as they used to be. They basically owned the 90’s, but have been losing relevance and money for the last dozen years. So it kind of made me sick this morning when I read that they are complaining about weak sales for two huge games.
Tomb Raider is projected to sell 3.4 million copies and Hitman: Absolution is projected to hit 3.6 million by March 31st.
Here is my beef. What in the blue hell were Square’s projections of these games??? Hitman had a long break in between entries and I even wondered if people still cared enough to buy another game starring Agent 47. Well 3.6 million people did apparently. And Tomb Raider is the one that is truly getting under my skin. The game has “weak” sales with 3.4 million copies…..in 26 days!!! The game just released on March 5th and Square is bitching about over 3 million copies sold. 97% of games would kill for games like that with the 3% being disappointed consisting of Call of Duty, GTA and Halo.
This is one of the problems in today’s video game world. You can project a game to sell 6 million copies, but here is the thing publishers, and I will say it slow for you.
Not. Every. Game. Can. Be. Call. Of. Duty.
Maybe if you stopped wasting every red cent you had on useless ass Final Fantasy ports for every damn system and phone imaginable, you wouldn’t not have to up your projections so high for every other game to cover your inability to handle your own finances.
Even [amazon_link id=”B0076ZQSFI” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Sleeping Dogs[/amazon_link], which I fully credit Square with saving from death, was considered a disappointment with 1.5 million copies sold. A new IP (even if it did start as a True Crime game) that has sold over a million copies used to be considered a success.
Now don’t get me wrong, I understand game development costs are also way higher than they used to be, but I can not accept that a game that has sold over 3 million copies in just 26 days is already considered a disappointment by Square’s standards. At this point the company should be kissing Crystal Dynamic’s ass.
Be sure and read our review for Sleeping Dogs and our dual review for Tomb Raider here and here.
With Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel being at the forefront of the superhero movie scene this summer, The Wolverine is getting a bit lost. Now I can understand how excitement can be tempered considering how X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a massive dump on the chest of fans, but at least the source material for this followup is some of the best work in the character’s history using Chris Claremont’s 1982 limited series as its base.
