Hopefully they bring it back as a multiplayer game after movie. I loved the series as a kid and loved playing with family.
I would love a new Rampage or War of the Monsters.
Rampage on Switch would be cool... if it played like Arms + WoTM

I had no idea The Rock was in this... but of course he is.
I really loved the Rampage games back in the PS1 days. I'd probably buy an HD remake of Universal Tour.

I thought this already happened? Didn't Uwe Boll get the rights and he instead used the name to make some movie about a dude who built a body armor suit? Did I dream this shit?
Edit: Apparently when the news broke people just assumed it was supposed to be base on the game because of his prior films.

This is such a weird IP to base a modern-day film on.
The last game in the series was released nearly twelve years ago and apparently, there is no attempt to tie this movie into a new game.
Just...weird.

Is this going to be like Transformers focusing on the humans instead of the robots type of thing?
Yeah while googling for it I found out that people consider it a decent flick. Not great, but solidly "good". Color me super shocked.

Plot summary for those curious:
"Primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it's soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend."

The rights to Rampage have landed with WB, which doesn't seem interested in Midway properties besides MK. Though they did make a Gauntlet game in 2014.
That...That isn't even the plot of the game, as basic as the game's plot is.
Wait a second - the Rampage game was about humans who had been transformed into giant creatures, not mutated animals. This movie is a fraud!
Trailer already leaked on Facebook. It delivers exactly what you expect. Monster destroying shit and The Rock. Yes, all 3 monsters are in the trailer.
King Kong?
Jokes aside i have no idea how fucking RAMPAGE has enough story or lore to make a movie but i guess that could help as it gives the movie a rather blank slate. I wanna see monsters destroy shit but i dont know if its worth the movie ticket. Maybe a Netflix night.

That was always one of the twisted parts of the game. A human, mutated into a giant, eating other humans.
It's amazing that they got the plot to Rampage wrong, when the plot in the arcade game is all of 1 sentence long.
Oh, OK, now it's starting to make a tiny bit of sense.
The film is being made by New Line Cinema, which is part of Warner Bros., who acquired the rights to Rampage and a bunch of other Midway IPs when the company went under.
I mean, this is still going to be a really dumb movie, but at least I understand to a point why this was made.

I'm actually...pretty into this. Loved Rampage when I was a kid. The poster doesn't bode well in this regard, but hopefully they keep it goofy and campy in keeping with the tone of the game. Trying to make this a serious movie is a one-way ticket to Shitty City, USA.
But what if this was the game film that broke the mold? What if? What if this is video games' Spider-man?
Edit: Welp, just read that the plot is actually about mutated animals and not mutated humans. I'm out.

The Sega Master System version of Rampage shits all over the NES version
you knew you were getting something awesome cause of that special red box

I'm a bit sad it sounds like it's mutated animals as well, I was kind of hoping they'd go full on 90s schlock and make really bad CGI transformations of people into these giant monsters that fight tanks and the army while spreading violence and smashing buildings for no good reason, only to be shot down and demorph back into a naked human who embarrassingly streaks through a destroyed city.
And of course monster battles with subpar effects. This movie could still have B-Charm, but cutting out human transformations is strangely disappointing.

It actually doesn't look that bad to me by the low quality teaser, as in it looks like dumb fun (which is basically all I'm looking for in a Rampage film). A few of the actors even in the teaser seem to be hamming up their performance, which is fine, and I like the designs of Ralph and Liz.
The worry is if it focuses too much on human drama, and that human drama isn't too entirely interesting.
