I think one of the reasons the movie was a huge success besides the "Made for 3D" thing (and James Cameron's name) is the large amount of worldbuilding and effort put into creating the setting and creatures, which are then portrayed with really good effects and CGI that still hold up, frankly IMO this interesting setting/worldbuilding was really held back by that simplistic cliché plot, which is why I'm interested in seeing what kind of plot they will use in the sequels and how much they will expand the setting.

As someone who played the Multiplayer fairly extensively on 360. I'm gonna give a short perspective on it. It was horribly balanced (Weapon loadouts were determined by your level in the single player if I'm not mistaken, so if you finished the game you had a massive advantage over someone who for whatever reason had not), yet kinda fun due to the jank. You always go RDA. Certain parts of the maps would funnel the Na'vi players, letting the RDA just completely massacre them. I used the Nail Gun myself. I nailed a bunch of Na'vi back in the day. Didn't even need a hair erection. Good times. Fun fact, I assume as a collaboration with the Disney Parks, before Disney Infinity was cancelled there were plans to include Jake Sully and Neytiri as playable characters/figues. This was before Disney owned Fox too.

"Extremely run short time"

One of my most clearest movie memories is going to see avatar in 3D and seeing the woodsprite come so close to me it felt like I could touch it just sticks with me to this day

I played the game in my xbox when i was a kid (probably 9/10 yo) and i love it to this day, the rda campaign as a kid felt intimidating, specially in the levels where you were alone, wandering through the jungles of an alien world where everthing tries to kill you, even the fucking plants, i felt captivated by the atmosphere of the game, playing it as an adult feels more about hey lets kill some alien bastards with my kick ass power armor, so i undesrtand your point of view, its not a great game by any means but its hella fun and enjoyable if u get into its atmosohere

"its extremely run short time..." cracked me up "run short time" instead of "short run time" i dont think you noticed that one .

The film that rips off everything, from Dances with Wolves, to Aliens, to Final Fantasy X, to Last Airbender, to Battle for Terra, to Nausicaa.

I freaking LOVED the pc game, I've completed probably about 20 times since getting it back in 2009. Really looking forward to the new game :D

great content loved the sponsor break it was really well written

I owned the PSP copy as a kid. It was a blast for someone who loved the movie when it came out. Even back then I recognized the simplistic combat flow and wack QTE’s but it was still fun. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.

If there's any one failing of the Avatar franchise (specifically the movie), it's the use of the name unobtanium. They could have called it ANYTHING else and it would have been better. They could have gone basic and called it E-119 (the 119th element) and it would have been fine. It feels like unobtanium was a placeholder name in the original script that just...stuck and was never changed. It's terrible.

18:12 Literally me. I thought this game died in everyone’s memory and i was the only one who played it. Also, me and my brother unironically had the ps3 version, wii version and I had the iOS version. A lot of people discredit Avatar, from its copying of plot elements to an uninspired score compared to a very cool project that paid for musicians to hear from indigenous people across the world to give the Navi a unique sound that was ultimately scrapped. I also think they underestimate how cool it was to kids. Big battles on a planet that looks like our, but with otherworldly elements. And visually, especially for the time, it was the only movie of that high quality graphics to bring those kid’s dreams of a greener planet with a cool tree house to life. It was a monopoly for the time of giving kids another world to escape into, and i think thats what these games were trying to capitalise on.

First time I've heard of any game based off this movie. I also had already forgotten they announced a new game not long ago with just a basic teaser that doens't tell anything. I guess I tend to forget about the blue people Avatar quite easily.

I actually have that game on a shelf somewhere and actually enjoyed it. The fact you got to pick whether to choose to join the navi or humanity... It was a fun game personally.

*Dances with Wolves with blue smurfs* 'nuff said 🙄🤭

just look at "MILITARY CORPORATIONS BAD THE BROWN FOLKS NEED WHITE SAVIOR #756" on a piece of paper and you'll see the plot.

Man, I music really makes me want to spend tomestones...

Flight of Passage is actually a really cool ride. I didn't think simulation rides could successfully suspend my disbelief, but it came close; the ride vehicle even simulates the Ikran's chest heaving under you and they pump in scents that match the scene (e.g., mud, saltwater, etc). Definitely steer clear if you get motion sickness really easily though.

I didn't know this was something I had to do. But now that you did it for me. Thank you Austin, I really appreciate it! lol

it never ceases to amaze me how hard the Hype Machine went for a movie that was honestly pretty mediocre & forgettable

Austin, why?

6:25 Well Depends Because Some People Don't Think Of Banshees Because There Is Another Famous Franchise That Used That Term For An Iconic Flying Vehicle: *H a l o*

As someone who played the multiplayer on ps3 pretty extensively when it first came out it was surprisingly good. I always bring this up when someone askes about surprisingly good licensed games.

I liked the one Avatar game on PC for one reason. It kept trying to guilt-trip you if you sided with the humans and there was some satisfaction in refusing to help the stupid blue people and their creepy nature-control tree each time. Unfortunately there was no “drop asteroid on the smarmy navi” option but hey still better than the movie. Then again Plan 9 from Outer Space is better than the movie.

Meh I thought the film sucked. I mean I wanted the humans to win. Apparently there's 8 sequels planned and frankly I think George R.R Martin will get out his next book...no....finish the GOT series by the time the second film has a trailer.

To be fair it’s rather hard to write a sequel when one side has space superiority and the other side has sticks. Though if they were real creative.... invasion by Navi Europeans. I may just want to see a blue cat person in a Conquistador hat.

16:21 Ah ...oh no your hitting me with unneeded nostalgia with this pic right here

Loved the variety of FF music throughout.

Star Wars games in general. Battlefront 2 had a PS2 and PSP version and Lethal Alliance had PSP and DS version, also Forced Unleashed (Which is being remastered for Switch) was released on everything at the time.. yes N-Gage too. Thanks Austin!

I actually loved the avatar game on xbox 360, the fact you can decide your fate from choices and the gameplay and combat was actually really enjoyable with some really cool power ups

my little brother got the wii game for his birthday way back in 2010. he'd gotten stuck on the combat-flying level and i had to learn it from the ground up and get past it. no sweat off my back though, it became one of my favorite childhood games and I ended up playing it more than him xD I am hoping the strides in the industry as a whole can carry the new upcoming games somewhere great and unlock that special feeling of exploring pandora.

If you're interested in games that share a name but are fairly different, Toy Story 3's like that in a sense. There's a PS3/Xbox360 version (PS3 version's got exclusive Zurg content for the toybox mode), the Wii version's got less content for the toybox mode than 360/PS3, the PC version's the Wii port in HD without motion control, PS2/PSP are a different game entirely from the other, and the DS game is a completely different game utilizing the two screens the console has.

Try Zippo lighter fluid on that sticker. I've removed stickers from cardboard game cases without damaging the artwork underneath. The stuff works great!

that one hand joke was pretty good, i didn't catch it when you said it but i realized what you said as soon as you moved on and i thought it was funny

9:52 "extremely run, short time." A beautiful jumble

Soooo hear me out… I loved the IOS Avatar Game. It actually was the first time that I got to know this strange universe. I mean I was 6 years old when the game came out and I guess when I played it I was like 8. I played through it like 5-6 times. I still have it very dear to my heart and it’s one of my favorite games out there, especially for mobile. When I was 12 years old I watched avatar and I was amazed but also confused because I thought that the story would be the same as in the video game, like normally for licensed games. Then I bought the WII game and I played it together with a friend. We freakin loved that game so much. No joke I think we were one of the biggest fans of this game. We finished it like 4 times in every difficulty setting and every upgrade etc. It was always after school, staying at my place and playing this game for hours!!! So this whole video was like a little trip to nostalgia city for me :) P.S.: I also loved the other licensed games by game loft like Iron Man oder Spiderman. Those were great. I really wish they would still produce games like these nowadays. Not for me especially but for the kids today. Because those had always a better story and gameplay than ang free 2 play game!

4:30 ^ I’m sorry, what❕ 18:39 ^ Love playing this game from time to time👏🏼 20:14 ^ No, it’s a couple of months before the film started that all.

I have the one for the Wii and I genuinely got motion sickness the first hour into the game because I had no idea where to go. I don’t know why, but everything just… “blended in” with one another, and you couldn’t see anything other than Mr Blue Man.

Part the reason that avatar is my fav movie even tho I rarely ever watch it, is because you can tell the people making it care deeply for it. Plus you don't have to watch an entire series to understand even a single shred of it

My parents got me the psp with that game when I was a kid and it was soo good. The scene where it shows helicopters flying in the beginning gave me so much nostalgia

It wasn't just licensed games, a bunch of 7th gen titles released different versions of a game on different platforms, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands, Sonic Colors, Tom Clancy Double Agent, etc. I kinda miss those days of companies trying to make games that took advantage of specific hardware. Like instead of now where they use black magic to put games like Dying Light and Doom Eternal on the Switch, I'd rather they make almost a different game like some of those 7th gen titles I mentioned (hopefully also something that actually ran at 60fps). Also despite the quality of these game it is nice to see a company try to take an IP in different ways (like Mario the greatest game franchise when it comes to variety), more than I say about a lot of other certain major gaming IP that just does the same thing every year . And while do I understand why people would think otherwise, I feel that new Avatar game coming out has potential to be something pretty great.

the legend of spyro and crash bandicoot mutant games all share the same box art but are night and day on almost every system, crash of titans on ds even has a completely different ending to the other versions

thank you for the Windurst theme at the end.

I actually played the hell out of the PC game as a kid and grabbed the disk from storage a few weeks ago, the game design is beautiful even though its dated, but especially at night when the bioluminescence kicks in it's awesome

4:17 omg Phantasy Star Online nostalgic flashbacks with that sound lol

The Simpsons Movie Game is one of the ones where there are different box arts but the gameplay is very different for every version

Good usage of the Windurst music at the end there.
