nice try
Great news for people who like to make references to the “you’ve captured their stunt doubles” joke from “Spaceballs,” there’s a new third-person “Guardians of the Galaxy” video game coming out later this year. And you can watch the trailer for the game from Eidos Montreal at the top of the page right now. Before you ask, this “Guardians” game isn’t connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like last year’s “Marvel’s Avengers,” also from Square Enix and Eidos Montreal BTW, it takes place in its own universe and tells a stand alone story. But even if they couldn’t get the likeness rights for any of the actors, this game sure goes out of its way to try to make you think of James Gunn’s MCU movies. For one thing, it features the movie version of the “Guardians” lineup: Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax and of course, Rocket and Groot. plus Mantis. And they all feel pretty similar to their movie counterparts. Plus, this version of Star-Lord pretty much wears the same outfit as Chris Pratt, Rocket’s accent is VERY similar to the one Bradley Cooper uses, Groot is absolutely based on the movie version rather than the comics, and the Benatar — or whatever the ship’s name is here — pretty much looks exactly like the ship seen in the movies.
