Spectral Jester Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ong-Bak star and Muay Thai badass Tony Jaa is awesome. Movie tie-in video games usually aren't, so we're not sure how we should feel about the announcement of Ong-Bak: The Video Game, which is set to go multiplatform later this year. Thailand-based developer Studio HIVE has secured the rights to the movie series, making the game in close collaboration with Ong-Bak movie studio Sahamongkol Film International. Studio HIVE is promising a "much deeper story involvement for all Ong-Bak fans", says today's press release. “It’s a great honour for our team to work on the very first Ong-Bak multiplatform game. As a Thai development studio we love the movie and have a deep understanding of the Ong-Bak brand values and will make sure that the videogame will be an inspiring martial arts action experience for gamers” said Kan Supabanpot, General Manager at Studio HIVE. Ong-Bak: The Video Game will be launching sometime in 2012, although platforms for the "multiplatform" title have not yet been confirmed.

Vitamin Pwn Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Ong-Bak was such an awesome movie, i hope the game can capture at least a little of that awesomeness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentLoFi Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm sadly not gonna get my hopes up for this, such an awesome movie should stick with making more movies. I do hope they prove me wrong, but history is definitely against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiBunni Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm sadly not gonna get my hopes up for this, such an awesome movie should stick with making more movies. I do hope they prove me wrong, but history is definitely against it. Remember The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena? Let's hope they pull something like that and create something spectacular. I haven't seen the movie(s), but I'll be sure to once I have the time.
