@Enrico_sw  Did you know that Bloodborne's hunter design is very similar to Brotherhood of the wolf?

Oh I didn't know! I love this movie, really great French movie.

 

Monica Bellucci looked great. Le Bihan/Dacascos did a great job in building the atmosphere.

 

Did you watch the movie?

This James-Bond like intro (mixed with the cyberpunk atmosphere) is great. CD Projekt messed up with the initial marketing of C2077, but they are still way better than a lot of AAA gaming companies.

New Witcher anime movie with Doug Cockle as Geralt!!!!

 

I think this is based on a short story in book 2 Sword of Destiny.  It seems to be an expanded version of what happened in the story "A little Sacrifice".

Emilie Dequenne's first big budget French film at the time as well.

 

The brothel scenes with Monica are very sexy!

I saw it ages ago.  I liked it.  The europeans doing kung-fu was a bit weird though.

Hell let loose seems to have replaced Red Orchestra 2 as the gold standard in WW2 FPS multiplayer

 

 

MG34 hipfire was one my favorite modes in RO2.

WW1 multiplayer.  I like how all these recent games use the same engine as RO2. It's simply the best one for ww2 fps gaming

I'm very cautious with Netflix, but it seems that it's another team that made this one (not the Lauren Hissrich team), so it can be good!

 

And great to hear Doug Couckle (the real Geralt voice!)

The trailer looks accurate to the short story in the book.  I suspect it will be a big fan-fiction component to it though.

 

Essi Daven was the book character that influenced a bit the creation of "Priscilla" in the Witcher 3. 

 

I am very glad to hear Doug coming back. There is a Witcher 1 remake in development.

This 2-D game is so similar to Bloodborne that it could take place in the same universe.  I think a lot of people buying/playing this because they miss bloodborne.

All these games use a similar engine, basically they are the best WW2 multiplayer FPS games out there.

 

This is the first game I've ever seen use France 1940 weapons and equipment.  

 

In the trailer the German Panzer III has the markings of the 10th Panzer Division, which was charging towards Dunkirk.  This could be inspired by the battle of Stonne.

^ one of my favorite games (before Bethesda butchered it). I'm very cautious with Hollywood though... I don't trust them any more, they're just a mediocre political machine.

the visuals and props at least look like what's in the game.  I don't know about the story though.

The new Dark Horse Witcher statues are the Crones, Troll and the Werewolf.  Looks well done and I really like how they release new ones every year:
