Peter Jackson's King Kong

I'm suprised that there hasn't been a specific thread on this yet.

Anyways, I've played the demo today at Future Shop on 360, it was incredible.

When I first saw the in-graphics, I at first thought it was a cutscene. That's how good it was; I only found out that I was actually already playing when I randomly squeezed the R trigger and 'Jack' punched.

The environment was so beautifully rendered that it almost brought me to tears.

So I followed my friends up to a small gorge. Above, two other mates were just outside the entrance to a tunnel opposite.
Then we hear roaring. The sound acting was wonderful.
"Oh my god! What is that thing!"
"(name)! Get out of there! RUN!"

It turns out to be a T-Rex, and the animations make it so real I feel like I'm in the Jurassic Park movie. The big dino steams up on smooth animation, incredibly realistic movements.
Finally the fellas up above run for it. Too late! T-rex snatches one and shakes it about. We hear his muffled screams and see his legs flailing for a split second and then the t-rex tosses his head and swallows. The other guy manages to get under cover.

The t-rex finally notices me and my other mates. We yell in panic and start running. Luckily, the gorge is narrow enough to momentarily delay the dino.

We run up some stairs and into a dead-end clearing. The only other way through is a wooden door with two slow cranks to open it. My AI friends run to the crank immediately, yelling at me to distract the dino for them to open the door.

Where's my gun? Where's my gun, dammit?!

Okay, so I have no gun apparently. Oh, shit.

One of the guys offers me his gun. How do I accept it though? Damn it, damn it, damn it.

By now the dino is plowing his way through to us. When he breaks through a wall, a roar is heard and the wall craks and breaks down.
I swing a feeble few fists in return and plant myself in its path.

I know what I'm supposed to do, but unfortunately, I need a gun. There are several flying creatures overhead and I'm supposed to shoot them down for the t-rex to temporarily distract it.

But I don't have the bloody gun. So I face down the enormous foe with nothing in hand. The dino strides up, and ROARS. The screech cuts through the air, cuts through reality temporarily, what seems like.

I say: "Ah....shit."

The dino moves towards me, I dodge behind a low wall. Dino is incredibly fast, and chomps down on me! Everything turns red. Miraculously I drop to the ground and is still able to move, but everything is in a red haze. Then the T-Rex chomps down on one of my crank-operating mates. Damn, game over.

But all in all, this game is awesome. I found a screenshot to go along with this scene, but in the demo it was nighttime with thunder/lightning and the rain was a little more intense.

Sounds awesome, Im gonna get it for PC. When does it come out?

Looks like a faithful adaptation ✅

I can't wait. I played a bit of the demo.. and wow... droolio

Best part was realising that I was already in-game.

*waiting*

"Goddamn it, is it frozen?"

*presses start button, menu pops up fine, presses resume*

"Hmmm..."

I tried the T-Rex pursuit and was eaten almost immediately. Kong was awesome to play as though. I loved slamming the Rex's head into the ground.

It is indeed a beautiful game. Those 360 kiosks at GameStop allow you to play a couple of titles. The thing is, there are going to be about 15-20 games at launch time, but they'll all be $60+. I'm going to wait..oh..a year or so to get one. They'll HAVE to go down once the Ninetendo Revolution drops along with the PS3, considering 360 isn't backward compatible with games, and PS3 is.

Tried the demo again. Got past the T-Rex after finding out that holding down L trigger draws the gun.

Anyways, I go through the door and follow my friends, we go down into a shallow covered ruins area, relying on the water to cover our smell and the darkness to hide us from the beast's sight.
The black guy whispers: "Don't make a move, otherwise it's all over!"
The dino sniffs for a qhile and then a faint cry is heard on the wind. T-Rex stomps off.

Wow. Now we gotta rescue a woman.

Damn. I was pressing all the buttons, trying to find which one accepted the gun, and I couldn't find it... 🙁

Crappy thing is that there's no targeting reticule, no ammo indicators, Nothing.

A game looks more realistic without ammo indicators, etc. They wanted it to be like that.

This game looks great,it'll be the first game I get for the 360 but it'll be a while from now.

The 360 hits stores tomorrow where I live.
