Rayman does look good, wacky music and very dynamic, I wonder how the style translates into the Wii. But I expect nothing from Tintin, at first I thought the movie was going to be with people. And then it's a realistic animation lifeless movie like the Polar Express with people looking scary as hell and nothing like the original characters. Plus the game is said to use the same design for characters.... 

This might have been asked and answered already... but does anyone know how long Nintendo's press conference will go for this year? I glanced through other website forums that had people stating that it'll go for 2 hours. I think last years went for an hour.

2 hours. 9 - 11 AM PST.

I am basing my enthusiasm for both games on the footage that Ubi just showed at their press conference. The Rayman live demo was awesome as hell! And the Tintin game most certainly does not look like that or it would've been labeled as survival horror . It looks like the books... you should check out Ubi's presentation.

I'm not usually a coffee drinker but I'm on my 3rd cup of the night to keep me going.

Stupid Aussie timezones.

6 Hours 10 min left.

PLEASE XENOBLADE RELEASE DATE!

I saw it (you should watch it again). They do the same as in the movie trailers, hidding the faces as much as they can (they have something to hide xD), but you can see Haddock and somewhat Tintin, not like the comic.

If only the movie and game were like the comic... sorry Herge

At bolded: Was in shock after watching the Tintin trailer, damn you Spielberg/Jackson

^___________^ That is most excellent. Thanks for that :D. 

Two hours? Sweet!

I thought it was going to be one hour.

I see what you mean, my apologies... I really didn't notice the faces in the trailer for the game until you brought it up. Still, the game (to me at least) looks more colorful than the movie and closer in tone to the books, plus I guess I really didn't mind it as much since most of the time you won't be looking at Tintin's face while controlling him in the game. This is of course no guarantee of quality, so I guess I shouldn't have brought it up. If it's a good game I still might end up getting it, but being a movie tie-in I'm no longer holding my breath (despite coming from Michel Ancel).
