It’s creeping up on a whole 48 hours since I last gave my requisite dose of AVATAR reportage. Cold turkey I thought I could go, but such is clearly not the case. In fact, I’m switching gears a bit and giving you all a look at the cool minute-and-a-half trailer for the intricate AVATAR videogame.
Awhile back we gave you an inkling on how James Cameron was, for the first time ever, involved from the very beginning of the game developing process. This proved extremely helpful as he was able to plan the virtual worlds of his game in accordance with the actual picture itself. More excited the dude couldn’t seem!
Check it, in the game:
You arrive on the distant world Pandora, hand-picked to take part in the Avatar Program, a little known scientific initiative launched by the RDA Corporation, which is mining Pandora for rare minerals. You learn to pilot your own avatar, a hybrid of your DNA and that of Pandora’s indigenous species, the Na’vi. As you venture further into the Pandoran jungle, you learn more about its many creatures of Pandora, the Na’vi, and their struggle with the Corporation to save Pandora At the flashpoint of this conflict, you must decide where your true allegiance lies: Do you fight alongside the RDA, attempting to alter the course of a conflict spiraling quickly out of control? … or do you join the Na’vi, battling to protect Pandora from the onslaught of the RDA?
Not impressed? Scope the look of the game below – it’s pretty damn rad!
The Ubisoft videogame will be available sometime next month.
