Please keep Fight Club in Fight Club. :lol:
they named the main character Jack ...
Anyone think Palinuck OK'd this?
Read about this in the new OPM. Here's the scanned page...weird. Never expected this game...
Perhaps the worst licence ever. Ever.
Ever,
Damn.. I feel like saying "ever," again.
Ever.
Yeah...it should say "narrator" or something. :)Quote:

I'm kind of wondering what the point will be....:wtf: DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SELF THROUGH A JOURNEY OF THE FIGHTING!
I dunno, but if you get to play as angel face I'll buy two copies.
Heh @ "The Fighting"Quote:
DISCOVER YOUR TRUE SELF THROUGH A JOURNEY OF THE FIGHTING!
This game looks terrible already. I've got nothin' but respect for the movie, but so far this game looks like A-S-S. If it wasn't the middle of December, I'd question this as a fairly decent looking April Fools joke.
They could've done so much more with this license. Instead of going the obvious route and churning out what sounds like another UFC/K1 type fighting game, they could've made it more of a GTA-clone with SHENMUE style gameplay. ...Or they could've made a Fight Club Tycoon game where you set up FC-franchises all over the nation and eventually take down the evil Corporate/Financial Empire that runs our lives and makes us buy stuff we don't want and shit we don't need.
That said, as ridiculous as this game looks, I wonder if they... (movie spoiler)
...included a fatality-move for Jack that involves taking out a gun and shooting himself in the head, thus killing his opponent (Tyler). And if that's the case, do both Jack and Tyler take damage from the same attack, since he's really just fighting himself? :wtf:

This is wrong. The movie is not about fighting damnit.
Wasn't one of the rules of Fight Club was that they couldn't make a video game of it... well it should've been, I don't think this will be any good :\
Piku that sig is... owned :lol:
In an interview a few weeks ago Chuck said something "Fight Club has been optioned for a video game. Go ahead, ask me if I care."Quote:

Good lord, this is absurd.
:yuck:
Why are they standing up? Shouldn't this be more like UFC than Tekken? Roll around on the ground, goddammit.

Games that screw movies strikes back!
Think of this on the bright side. There's no possible way this can be worse than Tao Feng. None of the characters look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
Movies that screw books strikes back!Quote:

Of course the book didn't "suck major ass", that was for shits and giggles. But I still think the movie did a lot of things way better than the book. For instance, how Tyler and "Jack" meet, it doesn't really set a presedence on their relationship in the book (it's just Chuck Palahniuk trying to be clever as always), but the meeting on the plane in the film version sets out what their whole relationship is going to be like. Also, I think the relationship between Marla and "Jack" is way more coherent in the movie, in the book it's clouded too much by that gay (literally and figuratively) homoerotic shit between Tyler and "Jack". Chuck Palahniuk is a great writer, but he's REALLY crap at writing realistic dysfunctional relationships between women and men. He's crap at writing women, period.
Survivor is a better book.
EDIT: The ending was the only thing better in the book.
Yes, the meeting is done much better in the movie...and Survivor is a better book. I can agree with you there.
File this one under "Missing the fucking point".
Thankfully the game looks terrible enough on it's own.
This probably could sell alot if Brad Pitt agrees to be in it.
oh yes, the book was much better than the moWANKERS

:lol:
This is easily one of the worst ideas for a movie-to-game translation ever.
But if I can play as Meatloaf with bitchtits then it has to be worth a rental at least.
... ew
Shit, Meatloaf with bitchtits didn't even occur to me... :yuck:
I wonder if you can fight a priest?
I thought this one was going to be some sort of joke. Wait, you're NOT kidding? :wtf: Say hello to a lame Tekken wannabe with FC characters slapped in there and likely some blood. What the hell is VU Games thinking? Fight Club is a philosophical, psychological thriller- not a Van Damme type film. The FCers go there to find theirselves, not to win or lose.
Also, pretty much every character in the game will end up playing exactly the same, which will kill the replay value. It's not like Fight Club was about different martial arts masters coming together from all over the globe who all sport their own unique combat style- it's about stockboys and gas station attendants and busboys wildly swinging punches and rolling around on the ground. The more I think about it the more stupid this seems. I agree with those that say a GTA-style Project Mayhem game would have been better, if they felt they had to make a game.
I'll give it a rent as long as I can play as Lou :lol:
"Bwa-ha-ha! You don't know where's I've been, Lou!!"
Man, William Shatner and Ghandi better be in this game.

...they're wearing shoes...
:(
Hmm...so they are... *tsk-tsk*
And they look like those "guys-in-the-Calvin-Klein-ads" :cry:
VU probably hired Russian programmers for a few rubels a day to program this who could only watch the movie and couldn't understand any of the dialogue.Quote:

But yeah, worst idea ever...
I'm wondering if there was actually a video game mentioned in the "Fight Club Catalogue" joke thingy... time to break out the DVD again...
fwiw i spoke to the producer of this a few months ago and he actually has his head on straight. i got him to admit that american fighting games all suck. ^_^
so there's a chance that this will be semi decent. i mean, honestly, i don't hold much hope out either, and it's obvious that the very act of making a piece of pop trash merchandising based around FC is amusingly ironic in a fairly poor way.
but it's not as bad as it seems. i think. we'll see. if nothing else it will be an amusingly bizarre excursion into the other side of the mirror via marketing people. and, uh, as was mentioned, at least it's not tao feng 2. thank christ.
Considering the script was almost word for word copy of the book, except for a little streamlining and alterations, one of the closest translations from book to film I've ever seen. Books rules, movie rules, Palahniuk rules...oh and so does the Easter Bunny because he brings me lots of chocolate.Quote:

not to mention that all the fighters presented so far in the game look like they're carved from stone. The fight club was set up as clubs for the average guys mad at what their lives turned out to be and how they are being used by their government in the long run.
So basically this game is retarded.
