Latest Iron Man trailer: Keep the mask on, please

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 9th 2008 at 7:00PM }

There's a new trailer for upcoming Sega movie tie-in Iron Man. Rather than focus on the core of the game (you know, blowing stuff up, tossing missiles back at planes, that kind of thing), the trailer highlights the game's story. That's all well and good, but the character models, well, they could use a little work. There's just something odd about seeing a rendering of Robert Downey Jr. that just isn't quite right. The same goes for the other unfortunately wooden models shown in the trailer. Still, we'd say it's safe to assume that the game's storyline is window dressing at best. As long as the "blowing stuff up" part holds up its end of the bargain, the game should at least be worth renting before seeing the movie.

Sorry, I know I'm being a grammar police jerk; but oh man, the exact same gaff three times in the space of two sentences?

Totally unrelated. But I would just like to inform everyone that the Sarcastic Gamers boycott was successful and we will all be getting the weapons free when we become the highest rank.

Good to hear about that boycott. I think it was a huge step in the DLC direction. Paying 60 dollars for a game and than having to pay another 10 right out the gate seems a little greedy. I feel cheated. Now to get back onto the subject at hand. The character models although lacking in appeal, aren't as bad as they are being made out to be.

Agreed.

(that the mask should stay on, that is)

The cut-scenes look horrible. And who ever is doing Gwenyth's voice is really bad. Did Sega steal the model for Obadiah from the Final Fantasy movie? It looks exactly like the Dr. Cid character.

doesn't look THAT bad...

wish the trailer was less 'movie trailer'-ish, though, and had more gameplay, with the same sort of feel to it

Oh come on, it's a movie tie-in, you'd think after countless previously awful tie-in games, we'd instinctively know this would be rubbish.

Even from the trailer... crappy player models, Downey Jr. phoning in his lines, you can see where this is going.
