Ghost Rider: The Game(s)

[xwolverine2]

obviously they will release some clips and spoil the voice....so.............


too bad

 

[FlameHead]

True. I'm just craving.



Hey, you're an actor. Why don't you record some GR phrases and send them to Wucash for manipulation?

I'm craving too. I'm dying to hear not only his voice but how the hellfire is going to sound... if it has a sound at all. I guess it probably wont because there is no firewood cracklin' or anything but, one has to wonder.

Hmm, some GR phrases eh? That's a great idea. I'm not sure why I haven't thought of that before. I may indeed do that and I could in fact manipulate it myself. I spent a few years creating electronica and have a bit of experience using sound programs and such so... Good idea.

Oh, by the way, thanks; as if I don't have enough crap that I do randomly on a daily bases, I now have this in my head to create as well. Sheesh.

I believe burning bone does make a sound after a while. If not, there is always the wavy sound fire sometimes make when in flows fast enough, and in some scenes it looks to be moving fast.

As a fan of noise and power electronics, the description of the Rider's voice really gets me going. I know when he first talks I'm gonna mark out like I'm 5 again.

I hope the game's free roaming.

The thing is, hellfire doesn't burn like regular fire. The bones and nothing else are actually 'burning'. They just have a layer of flame surrounding. I'm really not sure if this will be the case in the movie or not because we see things melting as he drives by. Who knows at this point.

I'm with you on the voice thing though. I'm dying to hear what he sounds like as I've had his voice in my head (along with many others) for over 10 years now. It'll be nice to finally hear it out loud and by the sounds of things, it'll be perfect and exactly as I heard all these years reading the comics.

The movie hellfire seems to have both physical(GR1) and metaphysical(GR1-GR2) properties... The mentioned scene of the little flame pulled towards JB seems to confirm also some kind of elemental control over normal fire.
I would be very impressed if there's some scene were GR flame burns/hurts only guilt people, like, GR saving a child and he says he doesn't burn. Something like the Man-Thing touch.

Hey, that's a neat idea: a set of tools so you can create your own comic. Sounds like something I'd like to have a play around with.

Groovy.

Good find, Flame-O.

 

[Chuck_the_bear]

they make a video game for every major comic movie

exspect a game

 

[FlameHead]

We already know there's a game. We've seen footage of it being played and have had many updates over the past while.

Nick. I'm really interested in that Comic Book Creator software. I'm looking forward to seeing what GR fans do and using it myself.

 

[The Geek Vault]

anyone tried the game at the site

 

[Mr Nick]

Yup. Lots of us. I suck at it though.

It's being discussed on the 'Why isn't the GR site ever updated?' thread. Post your score there.

Is the game any good or fun

 

[webhead731]

It's okay. The only problem is Ghost Rider's chain comes out too slow.

 

[Mr Nick]

And it feels like he's on ice.

Found this little tidbit over here: http://www.ugo.com/channels/games/insidegames/game/345/ghostrider.aspx

Ghost Rider > First-hand impressions of the comic book beat-em-up.

For those unfamiliar with the source material, Ghost Rider is the alter ego of stuntman Johnny Blaze, who makes a deal with demonic forces to save the life of his mentor, and thus becomes a skull-headed, fiery vigilante. The upcoming movie, due to be released in February of 2007, features Nicolas Cage in the title role, but from what little we've seen so far, the game has more of a connection to the original comic book than the movie.

What it does have, though, is Ghost Rider running around and battling forces both mortal and demonic using enormous, fiery chains attached to his arms. If you think that sounds a bit like the blades from God of War, you're right. Using two different attacks, Ghost Rider can string together some pretty nifty combos, laying waste to clowns (and who doesn't want to do that?) and other annoying enemies. In addition, the game will also contain vehicular segments in which you'll be mounted on Johnny Blaze's bike and battling enemies on the road while avoiding obstacles. The sense of speed in this segment was actually pretty good, and it was possible to pull off maneuvers like power slides and jumps.

There's still a lot of time left before Ghost Rider hits shelves, and we've seen very little of the game at this point. But if cinematic action featuring a guy with a flaming skull sounds like your cup of tea, chances are this is one title you're going to want to watch out for.

Awesome find NDX. Great write-up and I'm definitely watching out for this title. I have no idea how I'll afford a new game system and the game but, I'm watching out forit.
