Sunday Comics: Dead Island Hollywood actors Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Hopper, voice talent for Wii game Deadly Creatures, talk creepy-crawlies.
I have to admit, when the words motion and capture cross in front of my eyes, I sort of pass out a little on the inside. But this one woke me right up.
It’s a developer diary! It’s a nature documentary! It’s both! The developers of the upcoming Wii exclusive action adventure title Deadly Creatures talk up the combat abilities of the game’s two unique protagonists.
Rainbow Studios and THQ would like to remind you that their upcoming action adventure title Deadly Creatures is creepy as hell. Not that we needed reminding, but here’s a ton of screens, just in case.
Revealed just yesterday as one of the voices behind the human co-stars in THQ’s Deadly Creatures, veteran unhinged actor Dennis Hopper shares his opinion of the game in this behind-the-scenes video.
Deadly Creatures makes the predatory leap from interesting to extremely interesting as THQ announces quirky Hollywood talents Billy Bob Thornton and Dennis Hopper as voice talent for the nature documentary turned video game.
It looks like THQ released a trailer during last week’s Comic-Con showing off one of the boss fights I described in my write-up of Deadly Creatures.
I had a chance to sit through a demo of upcoming Wii action adventure game Deadly Creatures Rainbow Studios in the lead up to E3. The game has you taking turns controlling a spider and a scorpion as they make their way through a hostile desert environment and try to suffer the indignities, and boots of a pair of humans.
The Wii exclusive does a lot of neat things with the genre. First is the fact that while you do take turns controlling both the scorpion and spider in Deadly Creatures, they aren’t buddies. In fact, they’re deadly enemies of one another. You will never actually do combat while controlling either creature, but you get to witness a few stand-offs as the game unwinds.
I didn’t know very much about THQ’s Wii-exclusive Deadly Creatures until now, but after seeing a fairly early build of the game at the publisher’s spring and holiday preview event today, I’m looking forward to learning more – and tickled gleefully squeamish, too.
THQ’s Rainbow Studios, known for the Cars game and the MX vs. ATV series, developed Deadly Creatures as a “labour of love,” according to the rep, since the studio’s based in Arizona, where its team was inspired by the desert crawlies native to the warm region.
As such, in Deadly Creatures, you can play the action-adventure game either as a venomous scorpion or fabulously gross tarantula, and the different strengths and weaknesses of each animal mean that navigating the game’s areas and defeating its bosses, which include a rattlesnake, a gila monster and a horned lizard, among others.
After watching the rep demo it for me, here’s what stood out:
When one thinks of games on the Wii, “creepy” perhaps isn’t the first word that comes to mind. But, It is the first that comes to mind once you lay your hands on Deadly Creatures. Taking some inspiration from Bad Mojo, (the cockroach game) Deadly Creatures puts the player in the role of a spider and a scorpion (at different times depending on the level) who must make their way through a punishing landscape. Along the way they are challenged by their surroundings as well as other creepy insect who don’t cotton to foreigners invading their precious homesteads.
