WALL-E Finds Another Thing He’s Useful For

Pixar’s next film looks like it might be their best so far. WALL-E’s trailers show a delicacy and care beyond anything CGI’s done before, and demonstrates an attempt to portray a children’s narrative without dialogue. So, of course, there’s going to be the tie-in game.

However, I find myself slower to sigh after the surprise of Cars. It was a really very enjoyable game, a sort of kids’ GTA open world driving game. And looking at this trailer for the WALL-E tie-in, it doesn’t look half bad.

You’re our Eve, Gametrailers.

    So why is he being followed around by a combine advisor?
    I’m pretty scared of those things now

    (in the same way I flinch when I see a MI-24, thanks to flashpoint, gods help me if I ever saw one while i was driving, I’d probably drive straight off road into the nearest cover or something…)

    What the heck? This actually looks interesting.

  3. Cigol says:

    That was… perplexing.

  4. Dan Bruno says:

    That actually looks fantastic. Still more excited for the film, of course.

  5. Arnulf says:

    Arg!! I spoilt the movie’s plot by watching this!

  6. CitrusFreak says:

    It looks like WallE meets Half Life 2. Huh.

  7. Sal says:

    such a rip on Short Circuit…

    Talking of Short Circuit:

    I find the best way to watch that film is to wait for the bit where he’s smashed up by the baseball bats, then press stop. Nice, happy ending.

    I love Short Circuit, mainly due to the fact that I connected more with objects than my parents. (I must be autistic) I think I’ll love Wall•E just as much due to the fact that Brad Bird and co are very good at physical comedy and emotion. Looks great.

    why has he got a gun?

    id much rather he didnt, and is it me or was that what looked like deathmatch.

  12. Masked Dave says:

    Because guns are fun. Mutliplayer combat games are really detached from any fiction they might have anyway, its just a game to play with your mates.

    Also, the latest trailer for the film gave more plot away than this trailer which actually makes me think there’s a lot we still don’t know. Pixar aren’t that careless.
