The Wanted comic was decent IMO, the movie looked so incredibly bad that I never saw it and never intend to. The game looks like it could be okay, though I’m not rushing anywhere cash in hand, I’ll follow its reviews once its out at least.

It looks interesting, we’ll see if does better than the average movie-tie-in-cash-in.

Haven’t seem the film, but the “Loom” of fate type idea worked quite well in the ancient LucasFilm games adventure game called (surprisingly) “Loom”. Although there they never really went into much detail about it. IIRC there was supposed to be a sequel or two that would expand on the storyline, but those never came to fruition.

I think Loom was probably the first all “talkie” adventure game I ever played, back when CD-ROM drives were shiny and new.

Anyway, we now abandon this thread derailment and return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Ahahaha, wasn’t this the film that had the unparalleled plot device ‘the loom of fate’?! Where an old loom would produce cloth with imperfections, which translated via the medium of binary or some computer gubbins would give the name of a man that must die. So obviously, you do what the oversized weaving machine requests and kill the guy.
And when they didn’t obey it, the guy they should have killed, murdered one of their fathers or something! OH NOES, best do what the sewing machine demands!
I’m just relaying what I’ve heard because I never got to see it.
I’ve taken some flak for my fictional writing before, but now, whenever I’m criticised I think ‘Yeah, well at least I didn’t come up with the fucking LOOM OF FATE’.
The film might be a laugh, but as a narrative device this takes the biscuit and crams it up it’s own arse.

Actually, let me clarify. That movie was all about aiming, but in the movie, it was nearly automatic.

It seems kind of odd that they decided to make it a FPS. The LAST thing that movie was about was aiming at things.

It should be lock-on auto-targeting, and the twist would be using the lock-on to curve bullets and maximize damage. It’s not a shooter. It’s a hack and slash with bullets.
