So um there's a good chance it's going to be big,burly, men with big guns who kill aliens? Wow it's just like Gears of War! Or Halo! Or any other FPS with a marine,soldier in it!

Not to sound like a skeptical ass but it is very cliched and from what America's Army's developer has done recently, it's not looking that good.

Who knows? If the movie's good and they put their act together this could be a potential goldmine. I think a lot of companies are thinking of it that way when they do these things. The payoff will be 10 times more profitable if it does pan out.

Wow so its Halo Meets Resistence Meets Gears of War Meets Killzone Meets every other FPS that involves some form of monsters/aliens/and or science powers.

Who.

The Fuck.

CARES!

Give us something original. We were finally doing that good in 2008, between Left4Dead, Mirrors Edge, LittleBigPlanet, and even Fallout 3.

@Matt Dusza: Yah, I gotta agree with everyone else... while Fallout 3 and Left4Dead may hve been fun and offered something a little different than other similar games, they were far from original...

However, I also agree with you that all of these FPS games seem to be blending into one another and come out looking the same... steroid-injected space marines, monolithic aliens that are defeated in the end, futuristic weapons that are really the same as modern-day weapons just have different names and sounds... nothing wholly original put into them...

Isn't that where Borat is from?

Is this a parody FPS like Eat Lead or something?

That'd be cool.

At the very least, Borat should make an appearance. That's all I'm saying.

These are interesting yet risky propositions. Just hope that the movie and the game explore different stories set in the same universe. Otherwise if one flops hard, the other can get a lot of bad press and/or do even more terribly.

Then again the DBZ movie has done $10million in the 8 Asian territories it was released in last week, so can't say I guess (because most people did think it was terrible from stills and trailers).
