James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Like you, we dream of one day hooking up our frail, broken bodies to a machine. This wonder-gadget will transplant our minds into the physical shell of a previously inanimate object; one that moves in ways we only thought possible in the deepest reaches of our imagination as it careens through ramps and valleys and barely escapes certain doom when it ricochets and rolls past pits and chasms...

dailygamesnews.com - Whilst stereoscopic functionality has been enjoyed by some PC users for a while it is something very new for console gamers who generally tend to use televisions rather than monitors. This is very unfortunate for the impending release of James Cameron's Avatar: The Game as Cameron has apparently worked very closely with Ubisoft on making it as much a visual spectacle as the film. The issue of course is that barely any televisions in retail have the 3D capability which the games 3D option requires.

NowGamer: Director James Cameron claims to have had the idea for Avatar running around his head for over a decade and if revelations by one of the game's scriptwriters are anything to go by it might take us just as long to get through the game.

IncGamers is giving you the chance to ask the Ubisoft development team anything you like, within context of course. That's right gang, we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Ubisoft and we're giving you the chance to ask, via us, the developers the burning questions.

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin's Creed II and James Cameron's Avatar The Game will be showcased at this year's rAge Expo in South Africa.

Ubisoft marketing boss, Murray Pannell has commented on upcoming 3D movie Avatar and its videogame tie-in could create a buzz similar to Harry Potter

Avatar: The Game, based on the upcoming James Cameron movie, is one of the first titles to support fancy 3D effects on specially equipped TVs. Apparently you'll need more than just the TV, though. Let's say you're a hardcore fan of the Xbox 360, and bought one at launch. Hell, let's say you bought one a year after launch. If you've got one of the early boxes, which don't have an HDMI-out, you're SOL when it comes to playing Avatar: The Game in 3D. Luc Duchaine, the game's senior international brand manager, confirmed today that the game will require 1080p resolution to see the 3D effects, and the only way you can get that on a 360 is through the HDMI port.

Joystiq: Ubisoft revealed today that actors from the new James Cameron film Avatar will voice the same roles in the game adaptation. Sigourney Weaver, not seen recently in the Ghostbusters game, will play Dr. Grace Augustine in the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC versions of the game. Michelle Rodriguez will appear as helicopter pilot Trudy Chacon in the PC, PS3, and 360 games, which will also feature bad guy Col. Quaritch, played by Stephen Lang. Giovanni Ribisi (from My Two Dads) will appear only in the Wii version, as the arrogant Parker Selfridge. The best news out of all of this, of course, is that none of these actors are James Cameron.

At a panel for his upcoming film Avatar, James Cameron announced that August 21st will be Avatar Day. The fake-ass holiday will see the debut of Avatar: The Game's first trailer, among other things.

James Cameron is hoping fans will be wowed by his upcoming 3-D epic Avatar. But don't expect him to reveal any secrets from his $240 million, computer-generated opus. You're not going to find 'behind the scenes' extras on the DVD, Cameron says. I think the movies aren't the big, wonderful mysteries they used to be. I don't want to see some guy in a black leotard and dots showing me how he made himself look like an animal. He may be Hollywood's most gifted tailor of cinema and technology, but Cameron remains a pretty old-fashioned guy. Until today, the director has kept his film as secret as a birthday gift - one he plans to present with 20 minutes of footage at Comic-Con.
