GC 09: Namco raises Clash of the Titans from its grave photo

Apparently, there's a remake of Clash of the Titans slated for next year. Yep, Liam Neeson is even going to play Zeus. Who knew? There's also a videogame adaptation of said remake that was being developed by Games Republic and published by the late Brash Entertainment.

Up until now, everyone just assumed the project was eternally stuck in development hell, but Kotaku reports that Namco Bandai has come to the game's rescue and picked up the publishing rights. The game will be out in spring 2010, following the release of the movie, and won't directly mimic the flick.

With no screenshots or significant details other than the game's inclusion of at least one-hundred different creatures, this is an awful lot to go on, I know. If anything, I'm just happy for an excuse to have Clash of the Titans on my mind.

Since this post has no doubt given you a hankering for some hot Medusa action, I'd like to point out that the film is up on Netflix for instant viewing. It's 2:00 AM, so it isn't like you've got anything better to do.

Where there is a movie, there is a game.

On a more relevant note, the original movie was BAD-ASS, and I expect great things from the remake. Liam Neeson flew onto my radar with Darkman as a youngin', but honestly, his recent work has been amazing. In the coming years, Liam Neeson may be in my top 5 favorite actor list.

HAHAHA @ adsion...assholes.

I can't wait for the Clash remake since it's such a classic and, done right, would make for a great film experience. A game based on the film? Yeah...dunno about that. Haven't we seen enough Greek god games, and such? It might seem like a re-hashing of old ideas.

Didn't Kratos kill that Hamlin bitch in God Of War II?

im a bit weary of a remake of one of my favorite movies, they will probably CG everything and make it look like crap. not to mention that its quite probable that they will make the plot more along the lines of any random G.I.JoeTransformers(insert more genaric action movies) than it should be... and then shit on it. but perhaps, just maybe, they will make it awesome.

either way i have to see it... so i guess they are getting money from me, win for them.

the only was to make this game good and stay true to the movie is to have stop motion skeletons, or at least make it look like that.

As good of an actor as Liam is, he's seems a bit old for the part, but I'm game. I wonder if they'll keep the little mechanical owl in the film?
