Re: Hard Boiled Coming to HD as a game/movie hybrid
Well, the game isn't a hybrid...it's a sequel (of sorts). I'm pretty excited about the game. I hope the BD of Hard Boiled is correctly and competently mastered. Nice extra for 10 bones.

Re: Hard Boiled Coming to HD as a game/movie hybrid
I want the game even though it doesn't look that great. The inclusion of the movie just gave me a reason to buy it for sure  I read about this the other day too.

Wow, I was interested in the game before this news, now it officially became a must-buy.
Would love The Killer in BD as well  |

Re: Hard Boiled Coming to HD as a game/movie hybrid
Anyone else download the Stranglehold trailer on their PS3 yet? The video quality for the Hard Boiled scenes they cut into the trailer looked terrible. I'm really hoping they clean it up. I don't have the original DVD release to see how it looks in comparison, but to my eyes the video looked to be LD quality at best.
DVD & Blu-ray - It's all about the movies!

Re: Hard Boiled Coming to HD as a game/movie hybrid
Yeah, the original is very grainy, so even if they clean it up, it isn't likely to be among the best HD transfers I'd guess.

Re: Hard Boiled Coming to HD as a game/movie hybrid
Also, the conflicting stories I've heard (that HB isn't even HD) makes me take a wait and see position from my earlier must-buy mode. I have Hard Boiled on DVD and it isn't the best looking one I own; none of those Hong Kong movies from that period look anything close to decent to begin with.
And you believe, at heart, everyone's a killer...

Re: Hard Boiled Coming to HD as a game/movie hybrid
Sheesh, my enthusiasm has cooled, to say the least. Looks like I will be waiting for some online reviews before jumping in feet first.

Re: Hard Boiled Coming to HD as a game/movie hybrid
Any chance of this being on HD-DVD as well?

I just read an article last week that stated that Har Boiled would be included on the BD game disk, but in standard definition only. I don't recall if that was a ststement from Weinstein Studio, or some one else. If I can find that article, I will supply a link in this post.

As Weinstein owns the distribution rights, most likely.
