@gamingdevil800: yeah, there's a fine line in doing something from inspiration and blatantly rehashing the old movies.....

even this movie has rehashed scenes, you didn't see the sand battle with the walkers?? and I bet there's an asteroid chase scene and we already know some elements are gonna mimic Luke's training on dagobah.....TLJ IMO looks more like a ESB rehash with some dorky new alien pets that make the Ewoks look awesome....

also i wish people would quit asking for old republic movies.....FFS you really don't want SW to evolve do you?? so long as we cling to the past the worse these things are gonna get.....i guarantee you if Johnson sets episode 10 1000+ years after episode 9 he'd be able to do anything he wants and the EU won't matter at that point....

@gamingdevil800: yeah, now that all the political stuff is done and those who killed his family are dealt with let's go into S2 with Frank working a demolitions job [knocking down buildings] when he see's some sh**t go down and it ruins his job and he just says frack it and starts fighting the mob or something like that....maybe instead of doing demolitions he was hired to do security....and things go bad....

pointless news, waste of development efforts as well......

@ronaldmcreagan: don't stick up for em......i guarantee you with 10% probability that I'm wrong, the delay won't mean sh**t in the end......

@Texus009: NO, i watch anime cus it's anime, i watch a live action film cus it's a live action film......

I play a videogame cus it's a game, i watch movies etc cus it's a movie etc......I don't necessarily wanna mix the 2.....

that said i've seen a couple decent game adaptations, Mortal, Kombat, Tomb Raider 1, Resident Evil 1 & the 2 Silent Hill movies, I even kinda liked Wing Commander [cus i didn't play the games that much]

i've yet to see a decent anime adaptation.....when the best I've seen is Gundam G Savior and that just looks like amateur hour and it's not as grand as Gundam usually is....take Char's Counterattack, it was more grand in scope than G Savior so yeah.....i have a overt negative opinion on things....

i've seen more games based on movies succeed than i have the other way around....

The Warriors, Star Wars SOTE, Dark Forces [Jedi Knight, Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Academy], KOTOR, KOTOR2, Battlefront 2 [2005], rogue Squadron, Ep1 Pod racer....

then you have inspired by movies....

Fallout [a boy and his dog, mad max, omega man/i am legend and others, definitely some lovecraftian themes in Bethesda's F3 & F4]

Elder Scrolls [Conan and LOTR....i mean based on conan comics and LOTR books]

Mass Effect [Star Trek, BSG, Babylon 5]

and that's just a few.....

but i stand by what i said, I'm attracted to Anime cus I enjoy animation and that specific type of animation as well as most types, and I watch movies and TV etc cus I enjoy those things too.....i do not go into a movie, TV or whatever hoping it's like some anime....

maybe if they made a movie based on an anime like say Samurai Champloo or Ghost in The Shell or something that was more of a continuation of the story....so GITS set after SAC series and Samurai set after the events of the series would be more interesting than trying to adapt the actual GITS movie and show and SC series......

you'd have to recap the story a little but if the movie was good it could stand on it's own but Hollywood is too stubborn to do anything really good.....eww you can't have an Asian as the lead, can't do an all Asian cast...why?? we get movies where it's all black or all Mexican and nobody says anything yet we can't have a properly done movie based on some anime that respects the source??? i say frack that.....

let's not forget, the 90's and early 2000's were an era of film where we saw many many kung fu movies succeed all of which starred Asian actors......you can do these things justice, it's just Hollywood refuses to do it.....

House Of Daggers, Unleashed, Hero, Kung Fu Hustle, Beat Takeshi's Zatoichi, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and many many more....honorable mention, Kung Pow...

when has a delayed Ubisoft game ever amounted to a better game overall at release??

Watch Dogs delayed and it still sucked

Far Cry 4 delayed and it was still bland

assassins creed several recent titles [going as far back as 2014] were delayed and they still sucked......

i think they even delayed watch dogs 2 and that was as meh as the first one.....eww prettier colors.....but the gameplay especially shooting and AI were terrible.....it just looked like a prettier version of the first game......

I don't see Far Cry 5 being any different, it might look a little better, might have some mechanic that's a little better but the whole thing will blow, something will be downgraded pretty much ruining the experience....or some major issue inherent in how they make games will pop up to ruin it....

@ballashotcaller: never even heard of the book before.....about the only newer books i've read since 2000 was Drew katpyshyn's Mass Effect [Revelation, Ascension & Retribution], his Darth bane trilogy [Path of Destruction, Rule of Two & Dynasty of Evil] then i forget the author but I read the 2 Elder scrolls books [Infernal City & Lord Of Souls] and that's really it for newer stuff, I did read Ender's Game and Speaker for The Dead a few years ago too....

and had i read this book before the movie I wouldn't even be considering the film cus the way i see it it's better to see the film then read the book cus you get more insight on the story rather than know ahead of time how it plays out and the film not holding up to the origin....

IDK if this is gonna be as cool as it sorta seems or if this is just Hollywood practicing the Spaghetti Method literally, throwing everything at us and seeing what [in this case] lands.....

I once fought Mario in Quake 2.....just thought i'd throw that out there....yeah, someone made a mario skin and i laughed my ass off seeing mario carry a rocket launcher....

@unfriendlytoast: would you rather them run away from one another?? or hide in the shadows and on rooftops???

@sakaixx: Raiden couldn't swim either......
