Shit I thought this was a trailer for the mahershala Ali blade movie. Dang! I was so excited for that.
Is that still going forward?
ZeroCool@feddit.ch 11 months ago
Mahershala Ali said it’s still in development yesterday. But who knows… I love Blade and think he’s a great pick for the role so it’s super frustrating that it was announced four years ago and it’s still two years away… Dude’s gonna be 51 by the time the character even shows up in the MCU.
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
That’s fine, I’m not worried about the next reboot or sequels, I just want to see that movie.
I was very excited to see the original blade, and I still like that movie, but I’m just as excited to see what they can pull off with Ali and such a cool character.
Oh shit but it’s marvel so it’s probably going to be pg13!
Oh, no, it’s R. Whew, that would have been terrible.

Will he be the first person to have two separate roles in the MCU (apart from whatever Stan Lee was)?
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
No, it looks like it’s pretty common for marvel to reuse actors, actually. I had no idea until you asked though, and there’s even another actor from Luke Cage with multiple roles coincidentally:
scops@reddthat.com 11 months ago
He will not be the first. Here is a good run down. Ironically, Ali isn’t even the first Luke Cage villain to get a second role. Alfre Woodard played the grieving mother who convinced Tony to kick off the events of Civil War.
Gemma Chan was arguably highest profile in terms of plot importance if you don’t count Agents of Shield and the Netflix shows… She played a named bad guy in Captain Marvel, then Sersi in Eternals. You’ve also Michelle Yeoh who played a Ravager in Guardians 2, and Shang Chi’s aunt. A bunch more had voice/CGI roles for their second appearance, like Linda Cardellini or Benedict Cumberbatch.

I’m not a big Marvel fan (and know next to nothing about Blade) but he was one of my favorites in Midnight Suns (which is awesome) so I’m definitely looking forward to this.
Fades@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Don’t gotta be a marvel fan to enjoy the bladerunner movies especially the OGs
XbSuper@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ll get excited when it releases if it isn’t full of mtx bullshit. So I’ll probably never get excited.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Mtx? Not familiar with that acronym.

Microtransactions, if you’re curious.

And the soundtrack is just Confusion on loop

Please let this be a full ImSim!

burnso@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Why? Considering how much design freedom Marvel allowed the devs with Midnight Suns I don’t see why it couldn’t be. What parts of the immersive sim genre do you think can’t be done in a mainstream game?

Did he pay with Euros or that’s some fantasy currency?
iAmTheTot@kbin.social 11 months ago
It's set in Paris.
drmoose@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s awesome! Thanks

Is this a different branch of Arkane, or is itvthe same branch as Redfalls team?
Rose@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s Lyon, known for Dishonored. Even the game is set in France.

Never knew I wanted a Blade game from the Dishonored team, but now I need it.
Hildegarde@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I would not be so sure this is the Dishonored team. The studio may have the same name, but the investigative news reports about Redfall’s development suggests that most of the studio’s senior talent left during that game’s development.
Developers who chose to spend their career making immersive sims are unlikely to stick around at a studio that decided to randomly start making a multiplayer shooter.
frozen@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 11 months ago
Redfall was made by Arkane Austin, a different Arkane development team. Dishonored and Death Loop were made by Arkane Lyon, the same team doing Blade.
Now, you may be right that some of the devs behind Dishonored and Death Loop aren’t there anymore, but it would be for other reasons and nothing to do with Redfall. So in that light, I’m still hopeful Blade will live up to the hype.
Gork@lemm.ee 11 months ago
The blade is a great weapon in Dishonored. I wouldn’t be surprised if the blade in Blade were done correctly, as the developers had clearly studied the blade before.

Quick demos of how far along they’ve climbed out of the uncanny valley, meh, but when I saw Akrane Studios several yehs .
