New R.I.P.D. Trailer For The Video Game Looks Better Than The Movie

R.I.P.D. (Rest In Peace Department) is about to crash at the box office as if it had Eddie Murphy starring in it. But like most movies, this one has a tie-in game, and a new trailer for it has just been released.

Atlus has announced that R.I.P.D. The Game is now available for PC, Xbox Live and PSN. The game offers the perfect companion piece to the upcoming movie that is set to release on July 19th.

The R.I.P.D. (Rest In Peace Department) is looking for a new batch of recruits with the launch of "R.I.P.D.:The Game" on PlayStation®Network, Steam and Xbox LIVE Arcade. Based on the upcoming Universal Pictures' film R.I.P.D., in theaters on July 19, the game features non-stop third- person and over-the-top action. The game was developed through a licensing agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing.

Players will take up the holsters of two cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side. "R.I.P.D.: The Game" will cost $9.99 on PC and PlayStation®Network, and 800 MSP on Xbox LIVE.

R.I.P.D.: The Game features: Film Authenticity - Working directly with Universal, Old School received ongoing access to the movie materials so that players could experience a faithful adaptation of the unique world of R.I.P.D., including environments, enemies, weaponry, effects and humor from the film.
Partner with Your Friends Online - Two-player online co-op allows wannabe gunslingers to use teamwork as they battle their way through the game. Your enemies won't have a chance against the right team strategy.

Over-the-Top Action -Gunslingers will blast, impale, explode, and arrest enemies just as the heroes do in the film. Unique In-Game Betting System - Co-op partners can put their in-game currency where their mouth is with a new feature that allows them to bet on who's a better R.I.P.D. officer. Measured by which player can capture the most enemies, who can stay standing the longest, and other action-packed challenges, the virtual betting system allows players to always keep the stakes high.

Challenges Galore - Being an R.I.P.D. officer doesn't mean blasting enemies all the time. Random challenges will appear during each stage to allow players to test their mettle for extra gold pieces.

Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds headline the 3D supernatural action-adventure R.I.P.D. as two cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side.

Veteran sheriff Roy Pulsifer (Bridges) has spent his career with the legendary police force known as R.I.P.D. tracking monstrous spirits who are cleverly disguised as ordinary people. His mission? To arrest and bring to justice a special brand of criminals trying to escape final judgment by hiding among the unsuspecting on Earth.

Once the wise-cracking Roy is assigned former rising-star detective Nick Walker (Reynolds) as his junior officer, the new partners have to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork. When they uncover a plot that could end life as we know it, two of R.I.P.D.’s finest must miraculously restore the cosmic balance...or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending angry souls the very wrong way.

R.I.P.D. is directed by Robert Schwentke (Red) and produced by Neal H. Moritz (Fast & Furious series, I Am Legend), Mike Richardson (Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army) and Michael Fottrell (Live Free or Die Hard).

Why did they make a video game on an unproven property such as RIPD.

Not saying its crappy,never read comic or seen the film yet but a game needs to be built off something substantial.

What do I know? I find it odd is all.

I cannot see how this looks better. I rather watch the film instead.

The film looks like fun. Unlike the game.

Seeing as how it's DLC, I bet it didn't cost hardly a dime to develop.

One thing's for damn sure though, If Ryan keeps making this C grade films, he's gonna fall so far off Hollywood's radar, he can kiss his shot at the X-Force movie goodbye.
