July 23, 2009 - Indie comic hero Bryan Lee O'Malley is bringing Scott Pilgrim to one or more undisclosed consoles in 2010. The Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series tells the story of the unemployed and unmotivated title character who falls for the perfect girl, Ramona Flowers. Only problem is that in order to date Ramona, Scott must defeat her seven evil exes (Spoilers: One is a chick). What begins as your typical emo indie book quickly becomes an over-the-top manga-like epic full of colorful battles and ridiculous silliness. The upcoming game is set to debut around the time of the feature film (which stars Arrested Development's Michael Cera).
The game is still early in development by Ubisoft Montreal, so few details are available. What we do know is that the game follows the plot of the movie (which in turn follows the plot of the film). O'Malley expects it to be a side-scrolling beat-em-up. The game will feature the same level of absurd combat from the comics, so expect something more than just a boring button masher. O'Malley himself is a big fan of classic videogames, populating his comics with tons of references to old Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Though little has been firmly decided on the direction of the new game, O'Malley confirmed it would utilize the cartoony style of the comic book. For him, that was a big win as he finds the overly realistic look of some modern games to be off-putting.
It's yet to be decided if the stars from the film will provide voiceovers for the game, but it would seem to make sense. Filming is still in progress and won't wrap for at least another month. With the movie not likely to come until at least summer 2010, don't expect the Scott Pilgrim game for some time.
