Video Game Confirmed!

[TheBatman072]

You cant rent it, but it's comfirmed that there will be a demo alongside with the full download of the game.

So you can only get the demo if you download the game.


...


Then what's the point of the demo?

 

[CBGB]

No, the demo and the full game are seperate. At least, I hope...

It sounds like Jackie Earl Haley, but are the actors doing the voices for this?

As sacrilegious as it may be, I do like the footage in that clip and seeing Rorschach and Nite-Owl work together in their prime. They seem to have this odd sort of comraderie.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Yes, Jackie and Patrick did the voices for the game.

That clip was just too perfect. Rorschach calling anyone else paranoid is priceless. It really makes me want a Crimebusters cartoon.

I wish we were playing as The Comedian. I just worry that this game will be a mindless 3D version of Double Dragon or something.
It's not that I object to a videogame based around the characters, I just object to the characters they've used.

On March 6, movie audiences will learn the answer to the question/marketing slogan "Who watches the Watchmen?" when the comic-based feature film arrives in theaters. The same week, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will learn the answer to a much more important question: Who watches their wallets?

Man, these character models aren't very expressive or lifelike. What's that? She's real?

A representative with the publisher today confirmed that Watchmen: The End Is Nigh will cost $19.99 on the PlayStation 3 and PC download service Steam, and an equivalent 1,600 Microsoft points on the Xbox 360. Developed by Deadline Games (Total Overdose, Chili Con Carnage), The End Is Nigh is a 3D action brawler featuring split-screen cooperative play for two.

Set before the events of the film, The End Is Nigh follows film protagonists Rorschach and Nite Owl during their days as a crime-fighting duo cleaning up the streets. The game is intended to fill in backstory alluded to but never discussed in any detail in the comic and the movie.

While significantly more expensive (and more expansive) downloadable games are available on the PS3 (Warhawk, SOCOM Confrontation) and Steam (the service regularly carries full-price new releases), the $20 price point of Watchmen ties it as the most expensive Xbox Live Arcade title to date. Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One is the only other Live Arcade game to debut with an asking price of 1,600 Microsoft points.

wtf...

$20 is pretty damn expensive for an arcade game. Even one with production values as high as this one...

 

[SalaciousVC]

I'm sure I will be getting it in a way,that is not exactly legal one way or another :3

I'm sure I will be getting it in a way,that is not exactly legal one way or another :3

be sure to let us know if you do

 

[Rocker22]

The game is gonna cost 1600 MS points or better put $20 bucks. I thought I was gonna get this not so much anymore.

 

[OctaviusINC]

So that's Microsoft's new way of screwing gamers. eh? Instead of releasing the full game to retailers for $60, gamers will have to pay $20 for every 'lil chapter they release. And I'm sure their will be more then 3. Which might mean this game is going to cost at LEAST $80.

RIPOFF.

I doubt they'll release more than three games for this. I just can't see them doing it.

I also don't see how this is a ripoff. They've released much crappier games for $60.

Uh the G4 special said this game was 6 chapters. I think they meant that there will be possibily 2 more games which would be chapters of the grand story. Which does sound like a bit of a rip off, but what if all you want to do is play as the people in this one? That way you just drop the $20 for this and skip the Minute Men game or whatever is next.

I don't see a rip off in this at all.

$20 is standard for the episodic games they've done online. Penny Arcade being the best example. If they follow that pattern, $20 for the first, then $15 for each subsequent episode.
