Speed Racer Game based on Wachowski Bro’s Movie heading to Wii in 2008
Warner Bros. has announced its plans to launch a Speed Racer videogame based on the soon-to-be-released movie of the same name that has been directed by the Wachowski Brothers.
The game is slated to be available in 2008 on the Nintendo Wii and DS when the movie hits theatres. The PlayStation 2 version of the game will be released along with the DVD launch of the movie.
The Speed Racer game for the Wii and PlayStation is being developed by Sidhe Interactive and will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
The Speed Racer video game is set to feature a car-fu style of action that will also be seen in the movie. Gamers will play the role of the characters from the movie and driving the same cars that they use.
According to Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, “Speed Racer” is an exceptionally creative property and teamed with the Wachowski brothers’ vision it makes for action-packed racing gameplay. The game will capture the intensity of the racing in the film to give gamers and movie fans a chance to take the wheel after they experience the film.”
In fact, John Gaeta, a long-time Wachowski collaborator and Co-VFX supervisor on the Speed Racer film, is currently working with Sidhe and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to assist in maintaining a very close film-to-game aesthetic connection.
Sidhe Interactive, the developers of the Wii and PlayStation versions of Speed racer, is a New Zealand-based game development studio who is known for producing high-quality entertainment game titles.
The Speed racer game is set for a May 9, 2008 release, which happens to be the same day that the movie releases in theatres in the US. More information o the game will be released soon.
