Quantcast



Like it or not, Sega has the license for the upcoming Thor movie. So you know what that means -- Thor: The Video Game based on the movie based on the comic book.

Is it going to be any good? Sega's history with another Marvel film property, Iron Man, doesn't bode well for the mighty Thor. Sega had two chances with that one, creating two games, and missing the mark (mostly) with both. Sure, the sequel was an improvement, but that's not saying much.

So why am I talking about Iron Man so much when this story is about Thor: The Video Game? Well, because we don't know much of anything about Thor: The Video Game, and this teaser trailer doesn't tell us much, either. Hammer? Check. A thunderstorm? Yup. Thor? Looks like it.

Thor: The Video Game is out next year, and it's likely being rushed through development to meet release in time for the film, which hits theaters in May.

Trailers like these are so damn worthless. It makes as much sense as Nintendo announcing that they're going to announce the price/date of the 3DS on September 29.

You didn't go all the way with the "based on" thing.

So you control Superman and have the opportunity to travel to Krypton in this game?
Now really if the trailer didn't say that this is Thor I would have thinked what I wrote on my previous sentence because you can hardly tell that that guy is Thor

Just make it a God of War clone. It'll sell, people won't be terribly disappointed, and we'll get to play a Thor game that doesn't suck.

-or, just take a dump, drop it in the jewel case with an instruction booklet, and send it out to retail.

Sega did that Viking: Battle for Asgard game which I guess a lot of people hated but I thought was pretty fun. Since Thor and Viking are both Norse mythology stuff when I heard about this one I was kind of hoping for a sequel to viking.

But that was when I didn't know it was going to be a POS movie licensed game doomed to suck a mountain of hairy ballsack. Kind of a bummer. I'm also really hungover.
