I'm sure this has been brought up before,but I don't feeel like looking through every post.
I was thinking of buying the Gantz game for PS2,but I heard mixed feelings about it on comments. I wanted to ask some real Gantz fans if the game was any good and worth buying.I can only find it on Ebay for like over $60 so I'm not paying that if it aint good.
So to whoever owns or has played the game...Hot or Not?

ok, I used to have a torrent for the image of the ps2 CD, but you need swap magic to play a burned cd.
also, you need to mod your PS2 if you want to play a japanese region game, which gantz most definitely is, and I couldn't find anybody to mod mine.
everybody I've talked to said the game sucked. I actually sent an email to youngjump asking how to get in touch with Oku, because I'm interested in helping put together a game that doesn't totally suck balls. I've never played it, so I have no firsthand experience, but I heard to controls are kind of wonky, and it's very short. or something.

Hell yeah I want to advise Oku! That would be sweet. I knew the vamps were gonna get sucked up into Gantz's games way before Phase 2 ever came out. If you stopped and thought about it, that was the only really logical outcome of the situation. Once you're copied/teleported/faxed (whatever u wanna call it) by Gantz, you have an explosive charge in your head, and you do what he says. That's the rule.

ohh i didn't know you had to do something to your PS2 that sucks.
Yeah well I know this is getting off topic,but why did Oku go in the dirsction he did with the anime? I don't know one person(that watched both the anime and read the manga) that liked the direction he went in with the anime.
Also, I have all the dvd's of the anime(even though I don't like the direction he went in I still like it) and on the bonus features there was a conversation with Oku..I don't know if ytou guys saw it or not. He says that he would be interested in making a live action film on Gantz. When I heard him say that I was like "Fuck yeah" lol. I think this could be his chance to make up for the anime and stick to the direction of the manga. I always think of how sick of a TRILOGY Gantz could be. If he does go through with it and a director supports it they better do it right.

Hmm... Personally, I think it was probably the producer's fault that the anime ended the way it did. I can't really see Oku changing the plot of Gantz in the way that it was changed... I could be wrong, though. I think they just made him come up with an ending because they planned on only having 26 episodes. I also own all the DVDs, but I didn't catch the interview with Oku... fuck, we need an email address or any way of getting in touch with Oku, stat. I'm about as die hard of a fan as can be when it comes to Gantz.

well, if you're serious about it, we could always make a B film and post it on youtube or something... I'm not sure where you live, but I'd be willing to make a trip to act. We'd have a very limited budget I'm sure, but I still think we could do it if we had even just one special effects guy. We wouldn't be able to sell the film, cause Gantz is copyrighted, but we could give it away (youtube) without worry of legal repercussions. The hardest thing to find, I think, would be suits and guns and katana hilts.. There might be gun replicas, and katana hilt replicas (we'd have to CG the blades I guess), but I don't think any suit replicas exist. They seem rubbery to me, and everything I've seen is like polyester or synthetic crap. Would we be recreating the manga? I think it would be cooler (personally) if we recreated an RP from the site. That would be awesome IMO!

I might suggest that it is highly possible to use the "City of" games to create a machinima of Gantz. You can use the costume creation tool to create an outfit that looks a lot like a Gantz Suit, you have the powers Sprint/(Forgot the name of the passive run skill) for the increased speed. There is also Super Jump as a power. The only draw back is if you use the weapons in game, you wont have something that looks like Gantz weaponry. The closest things are the conventional rifle from the Mercenary/ Mastermind and the dual pistols from the Thugs/ Mastermind.

I'm in PA atm, but I go to school in alabama... I'd much prefer to make a live action B movie than to use City of... as a base. No offense, but I'd rather act in person than with a video game character.

I agree with JPimpin on that, I just don't think we would have the resources.

well I mean, you're a film student, right? there has to be someone at your school that could do CG or special effects and editing and shit. Evil Dead was made by college guys, and now, it's a cult classic.

No you misunderstood what I said. i said that I am going to go to college this upcoming year because I'm finishing my last year of high school right now. I said I want to do something in the area of film. Anyway, I'm not going to be going to a Film school for the first 2 years of college anyway. I'm going to a community college for 2 years to save money, then I want to transfer to a college in the city and major in film. So I still have a long way to go lol.

ah no doubt. well once you make it to college, just keep this idea in the back of your mind. it's never too late to start, y'know? maybe you'll meet an editor/special effects guy that loves Gantz as much as we do... you never know. It's a small world.

Oh no doubt man. When I transfer schools I'm sure I'll meet people into anime and manga and whatnot. That's how they say you get started in that area. You meet people with similar interests as you and you make something happen.

Damn straight homie; I'll always be down to participate in anything Gantz related, so if you get something started, look me up! I'll probably still be around here.
