'Avatar: The Game' Requires HDMI For 3D Effects

360 News from N4G | James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

"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.

Voice Cast for Avatar Announced, Trailer Coming Next Month

360 News from N4G | James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

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.

James Cameron to unveil 3-D 'Avatar' at Comic-Con

360 News from N4G | James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

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.

360 News | James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Watching things in 3D has never been that successful, has it?

James Cameron's Avatar: The Movie: The Game: The Website Goes Live

360 News from N4G | James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Beef Jack writes: "If you missed Ubi Soft's E3 presentation just a few hours ago…consider yourself lucky. In addition to hackneyed celebrity appearances, tween charts, and prettied-up trailers featuring little to no gameplay, James Cameron graced the stage, spending a good 30 minutes verbally describing his complex, long thought-out narrative and mechanics describing the upcoming game adaption of his upcoming film, Avatar (which should come with a disclaimer that it is not, in fact, related to Avatar: The Last Airbender, which will be getting its own theatrical adaption titled "The Last Airbender". Not confusing at all, right?)."

360 News from N4G | James Cameron's Avatar: The Game

Ubisoft has confirmed that its first attempt at incorporating 3D technology into its games will be Avatar, the sci-fi adventure based on the 20th Century Fox movie.

oxm.co.uk writes: "Avatar, the game that is notorious for having the easiest achievements on Xbox 360, once had much tougher achievements.

After digging through old review code, we found that the review code for Avatar that THQ sent us once sported a normal looking list of achievements.

These ranged from reaching a certain hit count in combos to completing levels normally.

There were 20 achievements in all, a substantial increase on the current game's tally of five."
