With Comic-Con in full swing this weekend, we though we’d take a look at some of the many trailers being promoted at the con.
The Prisoner
AMC is premiering this new six part mini-series this fall which is a remake of a British show from the sixties. AMC has posted a nine minute (!) trailer to promote the show. It looks like they’ve secured quite the cast with Jim Caviezel and Sir Ian McKellen starring. You can pop over to AMC’s site to see even more videos for the show.
OK, so two things. If you haven’t seen Old Boy before, then get yee to the video store! And while you’re there, you might as well grab a copy of the Host. Thirst brings together the director of the former and the star of the latter. Even though there’s been a slew of vampire movies lately, this looks like a really unique take on the genre. I’m not quite so sure about what the whole foot licking scene is all about but hey we’ll see where it goes.
Ok time to show the PS3 some love. Since none of use own a PS3, I honestly don’t keep up with what’s coming out for it. But I heard enough about this that I thought I should give it a peek. This was put together by the same folks who brought us Indigo Prophecy, which I haven’t tried but I hear is quite good. I definitely like the cinematic look of this game and I’m loving the score.
Oh sweet baby Jeebus yes please!!!!! Daddy likey!!!!! I loved the first No More Heroes and thought it was one of the better games to make great use of the Wii’s motion control and one of the more unique games I’ve ever played. I’m certainly interested to see what else they come up with this time around.
Red Steel 2
I haven’t had a chance to try out the first Red Steel but I’ve always wanted to. This time around they look to be making use of the Motion Plus add on. Personally, I think it there was a missed opportunity to get the Star Wars kid in this trailer rather than Mr GQ jackass here.
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Having played the hell out of the old KOTOR game for the original Xbox, I’m curious to see where they take the series next. I don’t know if this trailer has anything to do with actual gameplay, but damn does it look good.
Splinter Cell: Conviction
It looks like for the fifth Splinter Cell game, they’re taking things in a bit of a different direction. I was quite a fan of the stealth style of the previous games so personally I hope they don’t stray too far away from that.
