#Scarlet blade vendetta not launching movie#
The cleverly-meta American Splendor movie, featuring the real-life Harvey Pekar appearing alongside his cinematic counterpart, among its many delights, may be the smartest comic book movie ever made. wait, did I just say that on the Internet?! Oh, and this one's going to stand for a while, so don't bother complaining. Just take this as a list of really great movies and don't worry whether Ghost World is better than Blade (it is), because that's really comparing apples and oranges.
#Scarlet blade vendetta not launching update#
So! Taking into consideration more input from more readers, and returning my beloved indie films to their positions on the list, I've decided to expand the list to ten, which is what we'll do again when and if we have to update the list in the future.Īnd, no, the order of these means nothing. I have a clear #1 in my head- Dredd-but not everyone will agree and frankly once you get past the top two or so, anything good enough to belong on a "Ten Best" list oughtn't be forced to duke it out for position. As, in my opinion, is numbering the list. An hour or so after the last one went live, I admitted that retaining the "top five" style of the original list had been a mistake. "We'll have to agree to disagree, but for the purposes of the list, I'll leave them off. This time."įans of those movies, then, just piled on along with fans of other movies left off the list. "While I still have a soft spot for Ghost World and American Splendor, our readers roundly rejected the idea that they belonged on the list, being that they were such radically different films (small, quiet and with a totally different sensibility) than the bombastic action that fills most of the movies on the list, I wrote. We took that into account when we updated the list, and perhaps a mistake I made as the writer was being transparent about one particular change. In 2012, when we did the first list, we got a lot of people screaming that certain movies-good movies, too, mind you, not The Spirit or anything-had been left off the list, and they gave us some good reasons. Typically either everyone on staff chips in some ideas, or the writer solicits them from other writers, editors, comics pros, regular readers, etc. Here's the thing: When one of these lists is put together it isn't-believe it or not-one guy sitting in a room going, "How can I screw over Blade fans?". You're thinking, "Wait! Didn't they just do this?!"Īnd we did. One week ago, we updated our list, originally done about 19 months ago, of the best R-rated comic book movies of all time.but we didn't do it right. The Delilah Club, Scarlet Blade’s very own nightclub, also proved to be an extremely popular destination among closed beta participants, offering players a unique social hub where both factions can relax and get a respite from the intense PvP action.I know what you're thinking. Hundreds of players from both factions competed at all hours of the day to kill the coveted world boss in Caergate known as Titan, the ultimate PvP challenge in the game which drops highly exclusive sought-after loot.
Many more players are anticipated to join the battle to reclaim the Earth in open beta, which will not be subject to a database wipe when the game transitions to an official launch.įan-favorite features in Scarlet Blade’s closed beta included the instanced PvP battlegrounds of Janus and Turnpike, along with the open-world PvP zone, Caergate. Tens of thousands of players participated in the closed beta, collectively logging over 1,000,000 hours in the game and creating over 300,000 characters during the two-week period.
The combination of the game’s unique visual style and cutting-edge PvP features has already created a massive fan base, and this is now poised to be our most popular title for the foreseeable future.” “ Scarlet Blade’s success is a perfect example of how far the company has come since we began in 2006. “This is a great milestone for Aeria,” said Lan Hoang, founder and CEO of Aeria Games. The premier mature massively multiplayer online role-playing game has now begun open beta, following a resoundingly successful closed beta period in which players flocked to the game in droves. Scarlet Blade has already proven to be a big hit for Aeria Games, a leading global publisher of free-to-play online games.
