Avatar Trailer: It's Not Easy Being Blue

by Chris Faylor, Nov 12, 2009 2:20pm PST

Rebelling against the corporation that brought you to the exotic world of Pandora has to be a tough call, especially when it involves a blue-skinned surrogate body. On the plus side, you get a bow and blades and a flying-dragon thing (and more) and get to use all that to fight the RDA Corporation and smash its various hi-tech assets, like mechs.

Playable from either perspective, Ubisoft's interactive take on James Cameron's anticipated film Avatar is due on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP come December 1. The movie itself, meanwhile, hits theaters on December 18.

The world and the environments look great, but why the neon blue skin? It looks like it's glowing blue. Maybe that's just my monitor, or the way the video was recorded?

And I feel like I must say, if 3rd person games were made illegal tomorrow I wouldn't cry about it. Action just isn't as fun when you're watching some schmo on-screen doing it. There's a level of detachment there that I can't get into.

The eh-ness really confuses me because they're apparently working off the same resources as the film people, and they've been working on it for as long as its current form has been in production. Like, once the film crew made the models it was using, they got them to tweak and work with.

So the "they didn't have enough time to make it good" excuse is completely out the window. What else is it then?

Ubisoft appears to be blinded and enamoured by Hollywood glamour. Don't almost all these tie in games bomb?

And read this. It's just CEO posturing and towing the line rhetoric but Yves went a little overboard on this one: http://kotaku.com/5403090/ubisoft-prince-of-persia-movie-could-outperform-pirates-of-the-caribbean
