Aha - but if Rebellion are sticking with licences, then the content of the game will be limited by the scope of the original material. SinDex, aside from Dante and Nemesis, got some of the greatest potential for a crowd pleaser.

Shit! I thought he was just cold after running around with his top off.

General / How about a SinDex computer game?
24 May, 2004, 03:23:32 AM
I just bought Hitman Contracts this weekend, and it made me think about how more natural a success a SinDex game could have been to a Dredd game. It's also more likely a better bet than a Rogue (why's this guy blue?) Trooper shoot-em-up. A choice of at least 2 playable characters in cooperation and plenty of moral ambiguity make for far more playing options.
How about it, Rebellion?

I've got AOL 8.0, and there's an uninstall program in the AOL folder in Program files. I assume that this will delete all of it?

I'm not disputing any of that. My problem with Charley's war is that it's obvious level of research and detail is hampered by it's more childish aspects.

However, I never enjoyed war comics as a child, so perhaps it's just not my cup of tea.

Charlies war may have been profound, deep, moving, and advanced stuff for the 8 year old readership, but it reads like preachy, cliched crap to me. After reading Wilfred Owen it kinda looses it's edge as far as war literature goes...

To enjoy it you really need a healthy (unhealthy?) dose of nostalgia on the side. For me it's like chewing tin foil.

GC - It didn't happen.

I like the idea of cows in the matrix, though. The acting would be better than Keanu Reeves, and it'd be like Kung Pow, Enter the Fist.

The dual at the end of vol 2 is much better when you think of it as the equivalent of the quick draw standoff that ends the Dollars trilogy films - particularly when you remember how drawn out the end of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly was. It's just a shame that most people were expecting more of the 'eastern' homage rather than a western.

I think people are dissipointed because the two films were flip sides of the same coin, rather than being balanced. It was good, but a very differend vibe to vol 1, and so of course people are going to feel dissapointed.

Bill stole the show, but there really were amazing performances all round. All I wanted was more history. I'd like a question answered. Was that really a young Bill in Vol 1's anime chapter (I remember a shot focussing on a character's hand that hand, emphasising the finger rings that reminded me of Bills)?

Off Topic / St Georges day?

Is it St George's day today? I'm hearing that it is.

Maybe if we had popular brand of British alcohol then we'd have a chance of making it a big event. As it is, we could all have cups of tea?

"That's what life is, aseries of down endings."
Wasn't that Dante from Clerks?

As for just another grim sci-fi - uurrgh. Grim is a really over used gimmik now, particularly with sci-fi and super hero movies. It's just a cheap reaction the likes of Superman, and Star Trek (hey, let's get rid of spandex, darken the colour palette, and introduce a psychological subplot!)

Personally, for me the two most refreshing TV sci-fi series have been Farscape (plain wierd in places), and Stargate SG1 when it delberately takes the piss out of itself and it's genre.

I think showing a sense of humour is what's important. Sci-fi, possible due to the nature of it's hardcore fans, is taken waaaaay too serious.
