Cool! Congratulations!
I hope that the game will have a bit of the specific style of the characters and environments that the cartoon had. Didn't know that they are making a movie of it.

lucky..

Cool! Gotta cheer for the home teams. Aeon Flux better move like Bloodrayne, fer sure. And staring at a virtual recreation of Charlize Theron for a few months straight can't be all that painful.

Mangled, you should bring your behind to Sketch Group!

I totally love Aeon. Saw a movie poster for it too.

edit- I see now its based off the movie pics. (just went and had a first look a some pics from the movie)

anyways.. Its too bad its not stylized like the anime more.

The chick looks hot but levels could use some more color imho.

it's not a bad thing, but you begin to notice little things. Like now, I know which mole is where. Lots of little things that bug me now when I see 'beauty shots' of her, and I realize they're photoshopped.

As far as style, we're mixing the cartoon with the movie, so you'll see lot's of Chung's designs, especially in the characters.

Spinks

i gotta be honest.. i'm kinda sad that this isn't more like the animated series (as far as i can tell from the screenies) but i guess the big bucks is in movie spinoffs. try to cram as much chung style in this as you can, i'll be keeping an eye on this and cheering for you guys.

weee I'm glad...

I second Spinks in that regard. Seems big IPs are driven by movie properties first, and everything else has to bend to that style. Sin City was redeeming though....too bad most people will hate it.

I thought Charlize, while a great actress, was a horrible choice for Aeon. Shes hot, no doubt, but shes sooo healthy. Wheres an anorexic acrobat when you need one?

Ok, I'm done ranting. Hopefully the game play is reminiscent of the original series. I really liked the play style of Heavy Metal FAKK 2, seems that this would lend itself to that style well.

Dabu, Charlize might actually make a better Aeon than you think, she has a deceptive lack of curves...

Stylistically it can't be like Chung's work because everyone would have to be seven feet tall and weigh 120# tops... But maybe Charlize and the male lead will do one of those trademark Aeon so-long-and-drawn-out-its-nasty tongue kisses. Here's hopin!

Mangled, be sure that if the nasty tongue kiss isn't in the movie, it at least makes it into the game? Okay? You're in charge, right?

I'm kinda disappointed as well that the game is following the more realistic approach rather than the style of the cartoon as well. Congratulations, though. I hope it kicks ass and does well for you guys.

Congrats on the game.

But I have to agree. A game done in the style of the animations would be amazing. Could they maybe model a few characters in the style of the cartoon and throw them in as unlockables or something?

I’ll probably end up playing this anyway because I love Aeon Flux.

I've been waiting so long for an Aeon Flux game!! I was banned from watching MTV as a teenager when my mom saw me watching it... but she was too late! It already twisted my young impressionable mind!
