Toy Story 3: a promising step forward for movie-to-game adaptations

This writer was recently invited to a Toy Story 3 demonstration here in NYC with Avalanche Software's John Day, and is pleased to report that the title has more than a fair share of impressive surprises.
Instead of simply pumping out a quick movie tie-in game, Avalanche Software poured a tremendous amount of energy into thier imaginative Toy Box mode, a sandbox-style environment where players are encouraged to simply play. The premise itself seems incredibly simple, but Avalanche's execution of the concept is so novel that this writer couldn't help but grin at the idea. Here is a game that lets you play with toys.

step forward for movie to game adoptions?? Maybe but it will still suck most likely.. Like most other movie to game adoptions. I mean its not hard to make games look like animated movie counterparts.

Coldshadowz5076d ago

fyi, it's adaptation, not adoption.
Anyways,the game sounds pretty cool definitely going to rent. I mean who doesn't love some Toy Story?

madmonkey05076d ago

i still have toy story for the ps1, was one of my favourite games back then.

Zydake5076d ago

Would be cool if Pixar was developing the game

Zydake5076d ago

Went to wikipedia to check of it was being developed by Pixar but it wasn't and then I found this

PlayStation 3 exclusive content

It's like they're not even trying anymore

Kavorklestein1614d ago (Edited 1614d ago )

Are you serious? This month is just fine... Jurassic World Evolution is awesome, and Toy Story 3 is actually a fun and decent Licensed game... Castlevania is also a great game... What's it gonna take to be considered "Ok" or decent? Maybe Microsoft should just pay your mortgage and you'll finally stop bitching.. seriously what is so bad with this month? I completely disagree with you, But I also love castlevania, toy story, and Jurassic park in general, maybe you do not, and that's fine I suppose. Doesn't make this month shit tho.

vfl5231614d ago

@Kavorklestein Come out from underneath Phil Spencer's desk so we can have a real conversation.

RpgSama1614d ago (Edited 1614d ago )

Every month it's more proof that they don't care anymore about offering a good deal with games with gold and that they're putting all of their eggs into the game pass basket.

RacerX1614d ago

Just making sure they can upsell Gamepass for real games.

UltraNova1614d ago (Edited 1614d ago )

The writing is on the wall. I will not be surprised if someday soon they axe Games with Gold all together.

antz11041614d ago

I'm kind of excited for Jurassic World

Da12RespectA1614d ago

More like 💩💩💩 28169;. Fixed

DJStotty1613d ago (Edited 1613d ago )

what is poor about 4 free games?

I see what you mean though, GWG is poor we have only had 124 free games (xbox one only) /s

like PS+ games as well you mean?

"Once your PlayStation Plus membership ends, content you previously downloaded at no cost as part of the membership (such as Plus Monthly Games) will no longer be available. However, free avatars and content you purchased at a discounted PlayStation Plus price is yours to keep."

@cradatrucl yes they are free, you pay xbox live to play online, surely as a gamer you know this already.

"Free Games purchased in Games with Gold will still be yours if you cancel gold membership, you can play them offline and with a free membership. Once you purchase the games in Xbox Live you can re-download them whenever you want (if they are still available on XBL and have not been removed"

Mirror of Fate is a really good CV game. The rest I'm unfamiliar with.

0rbital711614d ago

wooooah no no mirror of fate is by far the worst castlevania game ever made, comon have some sense pls

darthv721614d ago

I disagree. I mean it's no CV: SotN but it isnt CV: Judgement either. It's right there in the middle.

Ricegum1614d ago

Of course Darth, of course. Why do I get the feeling that if it were Sony offering this rubbish we'd never hear the end of it with you.

gangsta_red1614d ago (Edited 1614d ago )

If it were Sony he would still be unfamiliar with those games

darthv721614d ago

Mirror of fate is on ps3. If I had plus Id say the same thing. Its a good game.

darthv721614d ago

Actually... i did comment on the plus offerings and like that titanfall 2 is free for members.

Why are you worried what I think anyways? I dont crap on sony like you do on ms. I play both systems... how bout you rice?

Movefasta19931614d ago

At this point, just scrap gmg and merge games pass with live for extra 10.

gangsta_red1614d ago

Agreed, these offerings are becoming insulting now.

RpgSama1614d ago

Exactly, now you're paying GwG JUST to play online because the games have been disgraceful for the last 4 to 5 months, might as well merge the services.

The Wood1614d ago

Maybe that's their plan and has been for a while.

Majin-vegeta1614d ago

Toy story 3 is actually a good game

littletad1614d ago

It is, but it's still a very old game and a crappy month.

A Look Back at Disney Games on PlayStation Handhelds

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).

Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
