The factory -rather than the Phantom Pod Race- in AOTC was the most blatant and the most pointless ad for gamers that also stuck out like a sore thumb.

The Factory scene is truly appalling. That it was only conceived as an afterthought after principal phtography had finished and filmed during pickups entirely in greenscreen in a warehouse filled with foam boxes is testament to its thoughtless crapness.

The production footage of poor Natalie Portman being 'directed' to jump. duck and roll away from some unspecified threats is painful.

On the other hand, the Podrace, love it or loathe it, was probably the largest prop, set and modelwork project in the whole of the Prequels. Dozens of those gigantic pod engines were built at 1:1, and the whole canyon and stadium set was a practical model. Ridiculous podracer aliens and two-headed Greg Proops announcer (my most hated thing in Star Wars) aside, it's pretty damn cool looking, and obviously a labour of love. The AotC Factory scene was an inconsequential fuckup.

I enjoyed Episode 1 Racer on the Dreamcast much more than the actual film.

Agreed. Pod Racer on N64 was ace, too!

A free roam type game where you can explore the entire city would be a nice idea to happen.

Imagine how good that would be if it was done well.

I've often thought that the best way to do a Dredd game would be Grand Theft Auto style, with a sandbox city to explore with a well written main plot to progress through and lots of side missions and small stuff to do like arrests etc.

Rebellion should farm it out to Rockstar to do right now

I would love to see a Dredd game, thought not a movie tie-in. They really do always suck.

If they were just to use the same engine and mechanics they did for AvP, that would still be a good game. As long as you were a first-person Judge Dredd, how could it fail?

I prefer third person games myself. I tend to get disorientated with first person games. And I like see the character do stuff!

I can see why a first person game would be the logical choice in a game mainly set in a Block though. They're a decent route to take in gaming, this is just a personal preference.

Actually, I thought one of the mistakes in the Dredd game was making it first-person. If I'm playing Dredd in a game, I want to SEE me playing Dredd in a game.

Third-person adds much more personality to a game. It's more fun to play as Lara Croft, Nathan Drake, Prince of Persia and - god help us - even Marcus Felix than as a pair of disembodied hands holding a gun.

(The exception to this rule being Gordon Freeman, of course.)

I'd prefer a sandbox of the Dredd Sin City, you know the floating Island with Sov spys etc

If any of you have a Playstation 3 and feel like sticking a ruddy great knife in the ribs of your nostalgia, the first movie tie-in game is on their network store.

I played it when it came out many years ago, it was atrocious then and I can't imagine it has aged well.

Dunno what this says about my quality control, but reading that I think I might check it out actually.
