The Incredible Hulk trailer looks incredibly bland
We all heard the resounding groan that resulted when fans of 2005's well received Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction learned that Radical Entertainment and Vivendi would not be creating the video game adaptation for the upcoming cinematic stab at the muscle-bound, chartreuse hothead. Well, after watching this debut trailer for The Incredible Hulk, we'll see your groan, and raise you an extremely disappointed sigh. Throwing Ultimate Destruction's havoc-wreaking formula to the wind, the adaptation will apparently focus on our favorite lesser-known pastimes of the green meanie: moving very slowly, getting repeatedly knocked over, and being stomped on by robots. If this trailer is any indication of what we can expect from the final product, we think we'd rather spend $60 to have Lou Ferrigno pummel us for a few hours. It would be much less painful, and he could probably use the cash.(We're joking, of course. We love you, Lou. Please don't hurt us.)
Sega reveals The Incredible Hulk development teams
Sega sent us a note, letting us know that the publisher is again working on a Marvel franchise, this time it's the video game for next year's The Incredible Hulk. They've announced that developer Edge of Reality – who are also working on the new-gen Cipher Complex due for PS3 and Xbox 360 later this year – are handling console development duties while Amaze Entertainment – known for recent licensed games like Eragon and Pirates of the Carribean – will be handling handheld duties. The announcement answers what Edge of Reality's mystery project was and, considering Sega's Iron Man game isn't looking too shabby and Hulk has had some video game success previously, we're more hopeful than we might otherwise be. According to a Sega representative, the game "will be released in the same timeframe as the film," due to smash theaters on June 13, 2008.
Cipher Complex announced for PS3 & Xbox 360, Edge of Reality self-funding project
After eight years of developing successful titles for various publishers, Edge of Reality is branching out on its own, self-funding an original IP, Cipher Complex. The plot -- special operative sent by US government to investigate mysterious recon satellite -- is as generic as they come, but Edge of Reality insists that it's employing groundbreaking concepts and mechanics that have been "incubating for years," which will shake up the current state of action games. Unfortunately, Edge of Reality isn't ready to share the details with us just yet.Cipher Complex is scheduled for release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year.
