Please lord, no....
Fight Club: The Game.
We heard about this one a while back, and to be honest, we didn't actually believe that it could be true. Nonetheless, ignoring the fact that Fincher's film of Palahniuk's novel seemed to attack and condemn consumerist fare like videogames, a version of Fight Club is on its way to Xbox and PS2.
Fight Club the movie concerned itself with release through violence, gradually building into a splendidly nihilistic attack on society. Examples included cinema projectionists splicing pornography into reels of films meant for family audiences, and shaven headed fight enthusiasts blowing up buildings to a Pixies soundtrack.
Marvellous stuff, naturally, and it's to be hoped that the game can retain a similarly spiky feel. Developed by US dev co Genuine Games, details are thin on the ground though we're promised the game will feature, not unreasonably, fighting of a "realistic" nature. And for realistic, it's probably safe to assume the developer means "brutal"
Published by Vivendi Universal, Fight Club is expected to be relieving itself in unsuspecting restaurant-goers' soups from late 2004. Check out the first screens right here.
