Wanted was a fun summer action flick, but how will it fair as a videogame? Movie-based games have always had a horrendous track record, but there's a chance this one might turn out to be somewhat decent.
The Wanted game is being developed by GRIN, the company responsible for the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter series and the unreleased Bionic Commando. Executive game producer Pete Wanat, who worked on Escape from Butcher Bay, will also be a part of the project.
As you can see from the attached image, Wanted will be a third-person shooter, and just like in the film, you'll be able to curve bullets and slow down time. Additionally, the game won't just be a retelling of the movie; it actually picks up right where the film left off.
What do you think, is this game going to stand a chance?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

oh god yes. Comic book had suuuuch a better plot. And cooler characters.
Still enjoyed the movie, though.
The game could work, but I hope there would be the element of being able to be good or evil in what you do as well as an open world for gameplay. Nothing like being given a hit and being able to take them out from many directions rather than "kill person while riding the train, that's all." Bullet curving sounds really lame, though. Pretty much just a tarted up targeting/cover system if you ask me.
then yes, it will be fun.
I like the fact it will take place after the movie, too. If they're smart maybe the game will be the segue way between the first movie and the announced sequel. That'd kinda be cool.
