Please don't, I'm so tired.

Why did it have to be Chris Pratt, ugh

[–] Royal_Bitch_Pudding 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because he's the "handsome funny guy"

Is Tom Holland now better known for Uncharted rather than Spiderman?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

It's a video game publication, so it makes sense that they would refer to his film based on a video game.

We don't want game movies. We would rather have new games based on these titles. Like how hard is Jax & Daxter? Make it move like GTA with some dark/light magic thrown in and a little steampunk and its done.

Who thinks that they'll actually make the movie about the game characters, vs just using the same names and not caring beyond that?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if you actually make a new game in the series first? Or even just remaster the old games? Because I don't think there's a lot of people at the moment that remember the games and would want to see a movie of it.

Honestly couldn’t care less. But if that means more Jak & Daxter games then go ahead.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Ehn. Gonna be an easy pass for me.

[–] BeezKnuts 2 points 1 year ago

I'm ok with this. Not excited to have Chris Pratt voice a Jak and Daxter character but it'll bring attention to the IP which might give us a new game.

I hope the rumors are false. Hasn't hollywood ruined enough franchises by now? At the very least give us a remaster of the original trilogy, they're timeless masterpieces.

So Hollands “Daxter” will just be Holland talking…no funny voice.

[–] teruma 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, Holland is Jak. Pratt is Daxter.

[–] nostalgicgamerz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohhh what?…that really changes the perceived dynamic that I thought they were going for…

For some reason…that sounds worse

Because nether of those actors fit either of thsoe actors. Why aren't Max Castella and Mike Erwin the first choice for this???
