GameStop is listing Clash of the Titans for July 27, the first official date the adaptation of the movie now in theatres. I’d like to say the pre-order includes a Harry Hamlin retro skin for Perseus, but it does not.

I’m going to try to get through this entire post regarding this gameplay trailer for the new Clash of the Titans video game without mentioning God of War once. Oh dammit.
If you are going to compare a game to God of War, why not use the game based on the remake of the movie that surely held some inspiration for God of War in the first place?
Namco Bandai is drumming up support for its video game adaptation of 2010′s Clash of the Titans remake, releasing a batch of new screens of the game that should be as good as anything developers Game Republic have ever done.
Movie video game producers Brash Entertainment (Jumper: Griffin’s Story, Alvin and the Chipmunks) has signed a deal with Japanese developer Game Republic (Genji series, Folklore) to work together on a game based on a “popular Hollywood film”. While we’ve no idea what movie the game is to be based on, famed Game Republic CEO Yoshiki Okamoto hints at a fantasy theme. “In collaborating with Brash, we were introduced to a very compelling fictional world and given the freedom to expand it through the game. We are working directly with the creative talent from the film, and feel that the close collaboration will result in an amazing game play experience that immerses the player in an incredible fantasy world.”
Incredible fantasy world with a 2010 release? Warner Bros. 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans would certainly fit the bill, with the original film allowing it the “popular Hollywood” film label, and Brash does have an agreement with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Just my speculation mind you. We’ll just have to wait and see!
