I saw it man thanks. Looks fantastic!

I really hope it's a free roaming game. I loved that in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and also in Viking Battle for Asgard

 

[Sebastos]

I hope it's free roam aswell, would be ideal for a Thor game.

More Q&A thanks to RealIronMan

Q1) I know you guys are releasing info on December but will that include gameplay videos of Thor game for 360 and PS3?

Sega: "You will get to see more gameplay footage from all the different versions starting in December and throughout the months that follow."

Q2) Will Thor throw his hammer in the 360 and PS3 version and how does this mechanic work?

Sega: "Yes, Thor can throw his hammer in all versions of the game. The way it works depends on the version of the game."

Q3) Will we see some alternate costumes for Thor in this game?

Sega: "Yes, there will be several alternate costumes to unlock."

Q4) Will there be any cheat codes for the game (we really need some)?

Sega: "We're not a big fans of cheat codes, but one never knows. ;-)"

More Q&A thanks to RealIronMan

Q1) How do you think your 360/PS3 version of THOR compares with the best action games that everyone praises (without naming them)?

Sega: "Well, all we can say is that we do some things that are quite unique to this genre and that the game has some amazing aspects to it, including some truly beautiful environments. Once we release more info and videos, it will be neat to see what other people think."

Q2) In "God of Thunder" will Thor verse more giant villians then just Surtur, Ymir, and Ulik will he verse tall frost giants. Another question will Thor be traveling the 9 worlds?

Sega: "There are a lot of different enemies and bosses across the different versions of the game with quite a large variety in sizes. So, yes, you will see several enemies that tower over Thor and some that are actually smaller than Thor."

Q3) Will Thor explore the 9 worlds that he travels in the game for 360/PS3? Will the game have the huge scale of exploration

Sega: "There is some exploration for sure and each version contains several of the Nine Worlds. However, the Wii and DS versions contain additional worlds that are not in other versions."

Q4) Why did you decide to make different Thor games for different systems? What if someone has 360 only and not Wii or PSP or viceversa and can't play the whole experience?

Sega: "We wanted to design games that worked best for each system. We did not want to just take a 360/PS3 game and try to squeeze it onto the Wii. As with the DS version, each game has its own strengths and we hope that fans will want to play all three versions of the game to see all the worlds and characters.

Even if you only have a 360, though, you still get a full adventure to enjoy and will feel you have had a full experience with Thor. That is the case with all the versions."

Not SEGA's Thor but here's a Thor Flight Game at Marvel.

SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced they have signed Chris Hemsworth to voice the title role and Tom Hiddleston to voice Loki in the upcoming action adventure Thor™: God of Thunder.

Both actors’ likenesses will also be used in the game, which is based on the legendary franchise from Marvel Entertainment, and marks Thor’s first standalone appearance in a video game.

“Bringing in Chris and Tom to star in Thor: God of Thunder gives us AAA talent that will create a truly cinematic interactive experience,” said Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA of America. “Mighty Thor and the trickster Loki will face off with real emotion while giving fans visual and vocal continuity between the video game and film adaptations of the Marvel franchise.”

Thor: God of Thunder will take players through an original, epic-scale third-person action adventure for which Matt Fraction, the Eisner Award-winning writer and lead Thor comic book author, served as story consultant.

In the game, Thor battles through the numerous worlds of Norse mythology to save Asgard. Players will wield the iconic Mjölnir, Thor’s legendary hammer, to fight enemies of an immense scale while controlling the elemental storm powers of lightning, thunder and wind to vanquish enemies. Thor must overcome monstrous foes lifted from the pages of the comics, including Ulik, Ymir and Surtur, as well as other daunting enemies.

Cool. Having the movie actors voice the game is always a plus.

 

[Saint]

Wow, those screenshots look just terrible. I guess I didn't expect the game to be good, anyway.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The textures are very muddy and the models seem to have a fairly low poly count. But graphics aren't everything; if it plays well, I'll enjoy it regardless.

 

[daderade]

im going to be optomistic till i see the vid thats coming soon. screens never give the whole visual story.

 

[Vartha]

Apparently those screen shots are from the Wii anyway, so it's not going to be that detailed if that's the case.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh. Wow, well that's actually pretty impressive for the Wii, then...

 

[Vartha]

Wish we'd get more. All this waiting on every front! lol

 

[Vartha]

Here ya go, at this link the screen shots do say they're from the Wii

Thor Game site's open!

I was just gonna say that I wish we could get some more information about the PS3/360 version, since I don't even own a Wii. But that trailer on the game's website scratched that particular itch. No way that's from the Wii version, unless devs have found ways to coax some amazingly impressive graphics out of the Wii since the last time I played one. The bit where he whirls Ulik around and tosses him away is my favorite.
