Sounds interesting, I'll have to give it a look. Hopefully, it won't turn out to be a waste of my time... (crosses fingers).
What if he's the good guy counselor running the thing.StriderShinryu said:The only place where Zangief has even been a villain is in the terrible live action Street Fighter movie that starred Van Damme. He appeared in the Street Fighter animated movie as well for a quick fight with Blanka but was just in the role of a rather random combatant fighting for money at a party hosted by Balrog/Boxer. In the games he's always been a neutral character who fights for the glory of his country and his no villainous intention what so ever. So, pretty much not a villain. Unless, of course, the simple fact that he fights for Russia makes him a villain.Space Jawa said:From what I've heard, the games are actually one of the few places where he ISN'T a villain of some kind.StriderShinryu said:Yep. That's rather sad to me. Zangief isn't a villain now and never really was a villain.Pedro The Hutt said:I'm just a liiiittle bit wary of this. (Zangief isn't a bad guy for one thing!)
If this was done by Pixar I'd be sleeping soundly, but Disney can be a bit hit & miss. But we'll find out this autumn.
Ummm.. he starts his speech by introducing himself and saying he's a bad guy. I kinda of doubt that's likely.fanklok said:What if he's the good guy counselor running the thing.StriderShinryu said:The only place where Zangief has even been a villain is in the terrible live action Street Fighter movie that starred Van Damme.

It's Disney, I think they can swing itEric the Orange said:This is relevant to my interests.
but damn, Disney must have paid a fortune to use all those copyright charecters. I see Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, and Namco at least. And Mario must be the most busy guy ever in that world, as he is in like what 50 games. Unless each new game gets it's own mario.
House of the Dead 2? I wasn't sure to start with, then remembered the dual axes and it made me happy.Megacherv said:Please tell me I'm not the only one who knows which game that zombie's from...
I very much hope you're right.Space Jawa said:Consider, on the other hand, the details that they've put into some of the characters. Such as the way that Clyde floats back, forth, up, and down in a style that matches up with the way he does in the games. Or how they included the text as part of Q*Berts' language. And then you've got Bison who looks like he's got his arms crossed whenever he's not using them for something. Zangief as a bad guy strikes me as a deliberate choice for some reason rather than just ignorance.Veylon said:But there's the niggling details that they wrong. If they are going to have actual characters that we recognize, then they ought to nail the characterizations. Otherwise things don't click right. Zangief was never a villain. They need some kind of videogame plot consultant, or at least a random sampling of their target audience.
I would like to see a heartless, even if this just in the background. Also could Disney use a wreck-it ralph world in a kingdom hearts game and what possibilities could that lead to (zerg heartless? bowser heartless?).Jorec said:It would be pretty awesome to see a Kingdom Hearts reference.dragongit said:I have to wonder who paied who to get all these cameos into the game. If the game companies paied to get the characters in as sort of advertizement, or Disney to borrow the rights to each character.
Also, this is a movie about video games, made by Disney. if a SINGlE reference to Kingdom Hearts isn't made I'm going to demand my money back.
I was hoping it was from Plants VS Zombies but it isn't cartoonish enough, ironically. Besides the PvZ zombies have no hair and no weapons.Megacherv said:Please tell me I'm not the only one who knows which game that zombie's from...
I see Ryu Hyubasa, a couple of generic BDU-wearing soldiers, and what could possibly be the Tin Man, from the wizard of oz, but I'm not sure what he's doing there.Aiddon said:another screen shot has Chun-li:

I have no clue what the purple woman, the devil guy, and the robot are from though. Might be generic stand-ins.
