@Yossarian: Another pun's post? It really grinds me to see these type of users making comments like these. It's usually medium rare to see any comment that's actually relevant to the article.
I like my comments well done and this isn't one of them.
Are we sure this game isn't made by PETA in some bizarre attempt at reverse psychology?
Cause I LOVE meat, but this premise is enough to make me want a salad for lunch.
To summarize: An evil fetus steals a used band-aid that had been hanging out with some raw meat. Said meat substance then gallivants around trying to get back his used band-aid from the fetus. Hilarity ensues.
Proposed marketing tagline: Beat the Meat! Spring 2010!"
(they were going to use "Kill the Fetus!", but then WalMart wouldn't sell it)
@Yossarian: I'm actually going to have to agree with Yossarian in this epic Conspiracy theory! PETA has gone too far, have you seen the AD to this game? I manage to find one and just had to post it for all to see, it's really disgusting how we're being manipulated.
@Yossarian: I appreciate the gesture, and what restraining order? Don't mind that piece of paper telling you to keep 5 post inches away from me, just a mix up in the post office. :P
This is a crude joke but this might be the first time answering your friend about game you're playing would be awkward.
Friend: So what are you doing?
Jamie: Just waggling the meat.
Friend: Need help?
@tsukasa1288: The promotion of this comment is incentive for you to go pick up Scott Pilgrim. All of you! Even if the movie sucks (which doesn't seem likely, if you check out Edgar Wright's blog), the comic will always be marvelous.
I might be the only one but I hate Micheal Cera. Maybe it's the fact that he is cast as the exact same person in every god damn movie and TV show he has ever been in.

@TitillatedOcelot: Well, Bryan Lee O'Malley has seen Michael Cera in action, and has said that the was pleased with how Cera was dong, so I am not too worried.
@umalt: B/C reading this - "Canadian slacker bassist Scott Pilgrim. Scott has met the girl of his dreams, but in order to keep her he must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends." Kind of sounds like an exaggerated version of Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist.
And who knows, maybe the game will be a dating sim? ;)
I've liked Michael Cera in all of the things that I've seen him in so far, but I'm worried that he might be a little too dorky and awkward to play Scott. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
This is either going to be amazingly amazing or ruin Scott Pilgrim forever. I think a Scott Pilgrim game would probably be awesome. A movie seems less likely to be good. And a game based on a movie seems even less likely to be good.
Why do game tie-ins always have to be based on a movie and not the original material?
@PlanarStar: I think it's because that's what the masses want more of - the movie. The original (minority) fans of a series don't have the numbers to gain attention from the head guys that make those kinds of decisions. They're thinking sales, and for some strange reason, they think staying true to a (usually bullshit) movie as opposed to the base material that everyone fell in love with means making more money overall. Little do they know, huh?

Now, granted, I've only dabbled in this comic series, but making a movie out of this sounds like a terrible idea. And on top of that, making a game out of the movie sounds like another terrible idea.

Wow. This would have been a perfect inaugural game for Ubisoft Toronto, considering that Scott Pilgrim is BASED ENTIRELY IN THEIR CITY.
This could go either way. If it's some sort of Watchmen-esque 3D brawler based on the movie interpretations of the characters, I will feel very sad. However, if it's based on the comic art, with movie characters providing voice work, then this is the best idea ever.
@Miksho: ive read this story a couple times elsewhere and they said that o'malley himself said that he wanted to feel like an old school beat em up and that ubisoft is using the art style of the comic and not trying to go for the realistic look due to being based on the film.

This game seems so... meaty. Like it's crammed full of tasty. The comics tell me this. I love them.
And the developers are jerk(y)s.

If they spent the time making this book, I can spend a few minutes doing research on Wiki. Including that link Kotaku gave us in the article.
Super Meatball Boy would have been a cuter name but that's just being picky.

True, but it works when there is a funny fat guy and a semi-funny geeky guy standing right next to him.

Hell, there are more Kunio-kun game references than anything else. (Crash 'n' the Boys, dropping money after defeat, Kim's rescue flashback...)

And well. I don't have alot of faith in Ubisoft.

ALTHOUGH, your idea holds merit if you can use they entire cast. It might make a good Smash Bros. game as well. (Young Neil + Knives as Ice Climbers?)
