Watchmen Games in Production

Source:  Variety
Warner Bros. has taken a different approach to the video game tie-in for their upcoming release Watchmen. According to Variety, the studio's Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will release two downloadable games, with the first coinciding with the theatrical release next March and the second around the DVD launch.

WBIE execs said that by producing shorter downloadable games, rather than a full-priced disc version, they'll have more flexibility to produce high-quality titles on a tight production schedule of just more than a year. If they game episodes catch on, more installments should follow.

Watchmen, which is being made by Danish developer Deadline Games, will feature the film's characters Rorschach and Nite Owl in an action title that's likely to earn an M rating. It will be available to download on PCs, Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360.

Watchmen is based on the 12-part DC Comics series written by Alan Moore and featuring art by Dave Gibbons. You can catch it in the theaters March 6.

That's just wrong... its Watchmen, we are not here to talk about girlfriends and boyfriends, heterosexuals and homosexuals, simply Watchmen
 
July 23rd, 2008 5:44pm
plug the router to the back of the PS3 and restart the system... it should work...at least it did for me
 
July 23rd, 2008 5:32pm
Its all good Watchman, I understand your passion for certain type's of movies and nor did I dis-respect it. I just couldn't believe there making a movie about something that had such a brief exestiense. I'll definitly look it up. ;-)
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:57pm
My PS3 isn't hooked up to the internet. I've always preferred buying or renting. At least I could download it for my PC.
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:42pm
Okay, i'm sorry. I just get worked up when people disrespect it. But read the novel first. It'll be worth ur money. If u don't, it's cool, but it'll make watching the movie a whole lot simpalar
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:30pm
Obviously!!!
There was no need to get nasty about it??

None-taken "Slim"
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:24pm
Comic-con asshole? I'm just a fan of watchmen lol
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:22pm
Buying is alot better... My PS3 will go to waste if I had to download... so I get your point xjws79
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:20pm
I don't want to download the game. I want to go out and buy it on PS3 blue ray disc or at least rent it.
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:09pm
Its not my business but I'm just saying... no offense in anyway
 
July 23rd, 2008 4:05pm
ok??
 
July 23rd, 2008 3:20pm
There is nothing run with being "Comic-Conn Asshole" so you put it. It just shows a moral interest than other bullshit in life. But I'm not saying WATCHMAN is a Comic-Con Asshole. And the "Con" has 1 n, before you go being a critic.
 
July 23rd, 2008 3:11pm
No shit..thats why I was simply asking about the fucking thing, RELAX!!! I never even said not one bad thing about it!!! So clearly, your one of those Comic-Conn Assholes who knows nothing, but Comic's and Toys. Yea...ur fucking Avatar is so much better...Fucking Serious Sam on Crack. So again, thanks for the info Asshole!!
 
July 23rd, 2008 2:00pm
Okay, u clearly don't know nething bout the fucking thing. That's why i freakin said wikipedia it. It's the greatest peice of popular fiction ever produced. If ur thinking it won't be good cuz there won't be sequels, well too bad. Ya, it's 12 issues, and it's the greatest 12 issues in the history of comics and storytelling...THAT'S why they're making a movie out of it. It'll be a stand alone great. Of course, u know nothing about good stories if u have a goddamn napolean dynamite avatar
 
July 23rd, 2008 1:36pm
It was only 12 issues, and there making a fucking movie out of 12 issues??
Thanks any ways
