That's pretty damn ironic since Pandora in Avatar is a friggin' forest while Pandora in Borderlands is a wasteland. #avatar

@Lord Raggleus Fraggleus: i'm not sure if that is the definition of irony.

Pandora is referring to Pandora's box, the treasure that caused strife, or contained evil, or whatnot. In borderlands, i would assume they are referring to the treasure vault, the strife being all the trouble people go through to get to it, or possible strife within the vault. In Avatar, i would assume the beauty of the world, and it's resources as the treasure, and the problems on the planet to be the strife, or whatnot.

Maybe I'm reading into it too much... #avatar

I really, really hope this isn't too as heavy as it seems to be whenever I read about it. I have absolutely no interest in playing a 12-hour interactive moral lesson on how Manifest Destiny is a bad philosophy. #avatar

He's made so many great movies, why does this film look so bad?
If Cameron is good at anything is making technologically impressive films with general audience appeal. This has none fo that. the blue cg people look like crap, and the scifi premise seems lame as hell.

I seriously cant stomach all the previews ive seen for it. it just gives me a bad 90s kids film vibe.

Besides Cameron's name, why is this film being pushed so hard? is it based on a book or something? I feel like i just dont "get" this..

@fernandosolano: I was able to see 15 minutes of the film in 3d at the screening they had a couple months ago. I was more impressed with the 3d itself than the content I was viewing.

Hopefully, it will turn for the better and both the game and the film. I have high hopes Cameron!

It could be a pretty game, but it still has the stigma of being a movie game.
I feel that it won't reach the quality of the film. Or any high concepts the film may push.
Just seems like it'll be a very pretty, but overall mediocre TPS. Maybe one for when it gets a bit cheaper, or thrown on with the Blu-Ray at a later date. #avatar

This footage looks really fun, like Panzer Dragoon with motion control. And graphically it looks really solid too. Hopefully the movie/game tie-in doesn't totally destroy this one. #avatar

Definitely looking out for this before the movie. Since there are no movie spoilers in the game besides introducing the Navi and Pandora , I'm thinking it to be a sort of movie prequel. If I get into the game, I will surely enjoy the movie as well. #avatar

This Article's Title was confusing. At first glance I thought we were getting some new Mii stuff, then realised without looking at the article it was to do with that Avatar movie. #avatar

I'm gonna feel bad for poor Cameron if Avatar sucks after all these years he's been talking about it and making it and getting himself all excited. #avatar

Im always AMAZED when previewers state something is an "early version" then tell me it's due out in less than a month.

It takes months to pass submission, get duplicated, distributed, etc etc etc.

A game you see in november for a december launch - is finished.

Hell even if you saw it in august.. it's finished. #avatar

@mrclam: What makes you think previewers are ever shown recent builds? It's much safer to show something known to be stable, rather than show whatever just entered QA. #avatar

@mrclam: Xot's right -- developers don't want to show me the latest build. They want to show me the one that doesn't crash. Moreover, sometimes I see games at a weird time in the dev cycle where there isn't a new build ready and then some embargo keeps me from writing about it until way, way later when the game has evolved into sometime almost entirely different. I know it's confusing -- but that's why I try to specify what kind of build I was given (early, demo, release candidate, final, retail, etc.) to play with. #avatar

And of course this is all going on the hope that Avatar is actually going to be a good game right? What a load of hype for something we don't really know anything about!

I don't quite understand what this article is about...

Are you just saying that you have to have HDMI to run the game in 3D? I don't think anybody on here will really be affected...
