Beowulf Game Revealed [May 22, 2007, 8:08 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Time to open the good mead, as
Ubisoft
announces Beowulf movie tie-in has word that today's "Ubidays" event held by
Ubisoft in Paris saw the unveiling of plans for a Beowulf game. This is a tie-in
with an upcoming movie based on the untitled epic poem known by that name, but
seems unrelated to this Beowulf game
(after a millennium, we're probably in ©/™-free territory here). They are not
revealing details such as target platforms at this point, but do say the game
"should re-invent the hack-and-slash genre." According to
IMDB, Robert Zemeckis' movie
based on the poem is due in November of this year, which probably serves as a
good indicator of when to expect the game.

Are people just now hearing of Beowulf? I mean, you had the 2005 Gerard Butler movie, another one that came out not to long ago for Sci-Fi channle and the new hollywood one with angeline jolie, and now two games?

I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.

I like the one from, I think 1999, with Chris Lambert. That one's the best because it has an immortal in it. Well, I haven't seen the 2005 yet. The Sci-Fi version wasn't bad.
id like to see a film version of the Mahabharata

And don't forget the prequel for the movie, circa 1000 A.D.

I for one would think it would be cool to have see 'The Bible Online" How cool would it be to play a crucifier!!!
Of course there would be only 1 rezzer in the whole game :/

Ubisoft don't have enough faith in the PC genre, nor the support capabilities to keep a MMO afloat. I mean, most MMOs need more than 2 patches else you get class action lawsuits.

I think that's just it, though. There aren't enough lawsuits to point out the obvious flaws in the gaming industry as a whole - too often publishers just release unfinished games. For all the moaning and griping Riley and cohorts do about Steam and such, there are far fewer technical problems encountered in running that then say...your typical EA release (which ironically the idiot, Riley, has actually praised in the past).
Well if you guys watched "The Thirteenth Warrior" you will get an idea of how a new Beowulf movie will play out. The Thirteenth Warrior was in part based upon Beowulf. This new movie should have some nasty horror scenes if what I read in the epic poem is recreated by Hollywood. Grendel the monster comes in and attacks Beowulf warrior companions who are feinting sleep and kills some of them by ripping their heads off, Beowulf grips Grendel and tears off his claw.... well when the movie comes out you will see some blood spattering gore.
