New Details, Synopsis And Cover Art For Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters!

oh that is sweet, not much of a video game person but I might have to pick this up. Nice find @Josh

co-op with sinestro? awesome!!! i wish they would make co-op available in IM 2 with war machine...a real missed opportunity...

Cant wait to play this.

Wow $60 for a video game. That sounds like a lot. Oh wait....I dont play video games so why should I care. ;)


Ps: yes this is me Starsapphire. I noticed that I've become more of a Marvel girl so until Dc releases something "OMG THAT MAKES THOR LOOK LIKE CRAP" worthy *cougth cough trailer that features Hal beating up Parallax and more sinestro and less focus on comedy* then I dont plan on going back to StarSapphire. Deal with it. ;)

@BlackWidow-I'm sure DC will get right on that now that you changed your name.

@ theblackwidow

some change is good,i've changed from "deadpool72" to "marvel72".

reason i don't just like "deadpool",i like many characters.

mostly "marvel" ones.

Ok i got real excited right now, ..but im not gonna get my self too
excited lol

TheBlackWidow/marvel72: Cool new usernames guys. Both your reasons make perfect sense to me, because lets face it, Marvel will always beat DC in both comics and movies. :P However, I have to admit that this game sounds 100x better than both the Thor and Captain America ones! It'll be interesting to get to see some screenshots and footage because it has the potential to be a really epic game if done properly.

@ joshw

thanks,also marvel rules! :P

It would be unwise for DC to not spend enough development time on this, in order to capatilise on their success with Arkham Asylum.

I absolutely love Green Lantern and have really high hopes for this, that being said, I am sadly aware of Double Helix's other games and the best one they have made to date was the lukewarm Silent Hill: Homecoming. I hope you guys don't lay down any pre-order cash on this yet and wait until some in depth previews or even a review comes out.

@JohnTom88 - The game is expected to be released in the summer of 2011. The next major gaming convention that year (outside of PAX) is the Electronic Entertainment Expo (beter known as E3) in Los Angeles, which will be June 7-9. That would be the perfect opportunity to show game footage and walkthoughs, so I am expecting to see it around then. That being said, there may be a trailer released for the game before that.

P.S.: according to the video below this game will also be available for the XBox 360 platform and will be releasd on June 1, 2011. It will also be available for Nintendo Wii at the same time as the PS3 and XBox-360 versions of the game. I also noticed that the version for Nintendo Wii is cheaper (only $39) so it is possible that there migh be some differences between platforms.

Watch this video on VideoSurf or see more Videos or Manhunters: Fugitive Videos

@JohnTom88 - I Will have to agree. Very little detail has been given on the game and it has been more than 8 months since they announced that that they would be producing it. The other thing is that the game is being done by Double Helix which is not really known for good quality cgi games in the past. Lets hope that their collaboration with Square Enix on "Front Mission Evolved" pays off and they get something that at least looks good. Moreso than that, lets hope that the release of the information/trailer is being timed with the release of the film. Since this game is kind of based off the movie, I don't think that the producers want to release a trailer that could divulge a lot about the film before the film folks let out their next trailer (probably around the Superbowl).

Based on the discription above I am expecting this to be a first person shooter type of game where the constructs will be your arsenal of weapons that you will used to destroy your enemy. You never know, it might turn out to be somewhat popular, but I am sure the went with Double Helix Games to turn a quick profit since it seems like a good number games based on films have been done by them and they seem like a lower quality for less cost type of outfit.

@grif
That video was humorous the first two times you posted
it. Now, on the hundred'th time, not so much. New
material is a good thing.

This game sounds promising, though I dont own a system.
This paired with DCU online makes me wanna pick one up!

I just realized that this week is the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. This is a good opportunity for them to show off the game. If it doesn't happen this week I can't say much for being able to promote it until summer.
