i think a max payne gameplay style should be enough... the GTA formula has been used too much times

any movie adoption game that actually rules
let me see
scarface, fantastic four....
they all sucked, right?

Well...Sin City as a game? Let's think about this.

The developer that made the wretched Jackass the Game has the license. There is no style of gameplay announced, which means they are probably thinking of the GTA route. If so, the game will blow horrendously. Sin City isn't set for anything like that. Even if they do build all of Sin City, it won't be able to hold up as an open-world sandbox game because you can only go so far in Basin City, and with the focus of the novels being around characters and story SOOO much...as well as visual style, it's going to be rough to make an open-world game with a strong focus in those needed categories.

So let's say they don't go the open world route. Linear level design is so trashy nowadays, it's really hard to believe it would work with Sin City either.

When it comes down to it, I just don't see how they can make this a COMPELLING game. They could make it a good game, by all means...but compelling is a different story.

my guess: 2nd film will be good. game will suck.

This should be brilliant if done right.

sounds like somebody wants to make a cheap buck after the success of the film. it really is not suited for gameplay. adding interactivity ruins what sin city really is. what it really is i have no idea how to explain lol.

i imagine it something between max payne 2 and vampire:bloodlines. but whatever they do i hope it would be good, 'cos sin city really is suitable for a game.

Loved the movie, the game will probably bomb.

A GTA style Sin City game.. mmmmmm... tastey.

I really want to see how the do the graphics. I think they should make them look like a comic book like XII tried, but way better than that.

better get Jessica Alba body right!

for the most part, adapting games into movies has been dismal at best. Lets see if it can be done right in reverse. I love Sin City and the whole mythology surrounding the series, the characters, the art, the setting...i REALLY hope they dont screw this up...

The movies were a "nice" adaptation of the series, though the overall highlights were HOT girls and the cast ensemble. then again, how can this be made better into a video game? Where to get the HD advantage when there is so much dull color as part of the theme? THis is quite an interesting challenge for developers. I believe surrealism/hyper realism have a much better chance of pulling through via a game but then character emotion and definition are another story where developers like Square Enix (FF), Ubisoft and Kojima Productions have expertise. At the same time, the "comic" style reference could be acquired from studios like Sony Santa Monica or the Daxter developer... Don't really know many projects from the team mentioned. Hopefully it will be taken as a challenging project with good hopes for success.

skeptical...kinda

I LOVED Sin City. It was freaking awesome. They better not screw it...

Doesn't sound to great...

Too bad a better developer didn't get their hands on this.

since I'm good at being a jerk face, let it be known this idea is a little too late to have any major impact.
Not only does the comic stand alone as a good thing by itself, but the movie barely slid by as something that held people's attention besides wonderful visuals. A game is something this property doesn't need... much a less another movie if I say so myself.

hope its as good as the movie..

"I'll stare the bastard in the face as he screams to God, and I'll laugh harder when he whimpers like a baby. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him."

If it follows the movie and comic book in terms of looks and feel then it should be ok

Hmm Sin City the game, coming from the same developer that brought us Jackass The Game? Am I missing something here? I think it is a safe bet that many people including myself are quite skeptical about this.

they better not mess it up

lol, at first glance, I thought it said Sim City: The Game. Now it makes more sense.

What is a "Jackass the Game developer Red Mile Entertainment"???? I don't think anyone named Jackass should be developing games.

This should be promising, Loved the Film, Loved the Books I hope its in black and white with the odd colour that would rock and be a nice alternative to the recent "look at my sky it has 3000 shades of blue" games

Ps I believe Hyper-realism is the phrase coined to descirbe not totally unrealistic acts but more acts youd only expect someone whos been training in a certain fighting style for a very very long time to be able to pull off, and even then theyre still hard to do

Well, I haven't played a game in black and white with minimal color since my Atari was hooked up to a crappy 15-inch TV back in the '80s.

I don't know about this

I pray you'll be able to go into the bar and see Jessica Alba doing her thing... in 3D!

I pray they get it right.

This idea is going to crash and burn... man I hope I'm wrong but our history of movie based games don't lie...

For some reason I don't see these games turning out to well. I don't know why but I just have a bad feeling about these ones.

Here's hoping for a Wii version.

I hope this doesn't fail like most movies based games do.

i wunder if its gonna be in black and white?

oh no a lack of realism. That's against the law!!... I loved the movie. hopefully the game will be good, unlike most games made from movies. This is from the comic book though, so maybe it'll be better.

I dont understand why "hyper-real action sequences" would be in a game about a movie that is famous for its lack of realism.

The movie was awesome, wanna see tha game 2!!!!

I love the movie, but I'm not excited about the game at all.

I have to tell my friend about this. He loves sin City.
And I don't want it to be a GTA clone either. I want it to be different. Maybe just follow it the way the graphic novels or movies were.

i'm guessing this will be a GTA clone....

They have to at least nail the amazing style down in the game. Can anyone say "cel-shading"?

The graphic novel cries out for a GTA style adaptation... hopefully they'll do it justice.

good but this game like move ok

Well thats another good thing about to be ruined

People think Red Mile will screw it up. So tell me, which developer do you can make it so much more better?

I wonder who you get to play as? I want to play as Marv, he's a freaking tank!

They will screw it up -- mark my words!

The movie sucked and so will the game.

Hmmm...
