The Dark Knight Rises TDKR Viral Hunters Thread - Part 9

[MOVIELORD101]

Regarding www.thefirerises.com, something feels weird. It's quiet on the WB front. Too quiet, if you ask me. What are they planning? Hmmmmm....

 

[boblog]

Personally I think the password protection is a big hint - can't remember them or 42e doing anything like that before. Guess 42e were far too good at this stuff to need an obvious block like that. Does shows they're definitely up to something, and also that they know the sites being watched though.

This BETTER lead to the official HD release of the Prologue or AT LEAST free advance tickets for special showings like with TDK, OR ELSE.

Wikia Games is proud to make the exclusive announcement for the upcoming launch of The Fire Rises, a brand new browser-based real-time strategy game by Warner Brothers.

Setting the stage for the much anticipated The Dark Knight Rises, Warner Brothers is drumming up excitement with this game tie-in that lets players rob Gotham City blind during Bane’s powerful uprising.

The Fire Rises casts players as henchmen, out to get their own piece of Gotham’s pie. With lackeys of their own, players secure territory, spawn various crew members to take out a relentless stream of deadly security officers, and loot valuable gear from nearby buildings, all before Gotham PD shows up in full force and puts an end to your crime spree.

WB takes a surprisingly core-gamer approach to the browser game. Maximizing your looting sprees takes not just a good strategy, but a quick mind. Various crew members, from loot-happy Thugs to demolition-packing Saboteurs, offer different benefits and drawbacks.

To pull off big heists, you will have to mix-and-match your squads, spawn them from sewer covers quickly and efficiently, and arrange them around the battlefield in just the right way to buy your looters valuable time. Steal enough goods and you will unlock more crew members, including Catwoman herself.

Your success also grows your criminal headquarters located under Gotham. You’ll be able to compete with your friends via Facebook to see who has more influence over the beautifully rendered city.You’ll also be able to see your friends’ headquarters and flaunt your looting prowess. The game currently features three levels, with more to come when The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th.

While the game has yet to be released, Wikia Games got an exclusive opportunity to play the game early. For more information, check out the game on Batman Wiki and be sure to check out the game when it releases- free to play- on June 19!

Honestly your crazy. You expect at least free advance tickets to the most inticipated movie of the summer? Get real.

I love that Hardy's darkened eyes/shadows make up the Batsymbol:

I don't know if this qualifies but it was the first thing I thought of when I saw this

I totally noticed that and whoever says I didnt is a liar!

Why is that so far-fetched? They did that for The Dark Knight. Maybe you should "get real."

Well, TDK had a huge marketing campaign that needed to end somewhere. TDKR does not. I find it a bit unrealistic to expect early movie passes again, but not completely impossible.

^ You can win advanced screening passes from Mountain Dew.

 

[Injust07]

^ Drink Mountain Dew? Ehhh... I'll take the crab juice...

 

[paulvonzeppelin]

In all the "areas" of the mountain dew thing, there are lots of little newspapers and other things that seemingly hint at something. For instance Gotham Maps in GCPD and newspapers and tabloids in the convenience store. Are the codes going to unlock those?

Also if you look closely in the convenience store you can see a "why so serious?" and a little joker smile scribbled into the window near the neon Mtn dew sign.

Hahahaha!

Anyone know what time The Fire Rises goes live tomorrow?

That was Mountain Dew executives thoughts in Marketing with this movie. Pretty much how can we get people to buy this crab juice, let alone purchase it?

Flawless post

Um...

Uh...

Am I the only one here who actually likes Mt. Dew?

*looks around nervously*

You obviously weren't around for TDK virals. You didn't mention they were incredibly active and involving for more than 2 years. 42 Entertainment was paid millions by WB to have their entire staff create an epic viral marketing campaign and prizes.

For TDKR, they haven't done anything like that. Not even close. Yet you are expecting the same final prize? That's just silly.

 

[WVsax27]

I think expecting free stuff is always a little silly...if we get it, we get it. We don't "deserve" it.
