Inside Look: Blur Cinematics
May 16, 2009
We have worked with Blur Studio in the past on the CG cutscenes for X-Men Legends II and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, so we knew right away we wanted to work with them for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine video game.
When we first started working with Blur 4-5 years ago, we realized pretty quickly they are a passionate bunch - so the best way to work with them is a lot of back and forth. This means instead of writing up full scripts, we just write up partial scripts and let Blur come back with their thoughts. From there, Blur moves onto the storyboard phase - this is really crucial because it’s easier to make major changes at this point.
After we go back and forth on the storyboards, Blur works away and starts to deliver animatics (partially animated, partially modeled movies). These are always very cool to see (and a lot of times very funny). There was one scene for the “Wolverine Quits” cinematic involving Wade Wilson that looked pretty bad. But what’s great about Blur is you know when they deliver final, it will be perfect. And man did they nail it on that whole cinematic – I think it might be one of their best.
There’s another cinematic where it shows Blur knows their comic book characters – Wolverine has to free himself from being chained up and...man, it is not for the lighthearted. I think 99% of people are going to wince when they see it.
There are times when we would disagree on points in the cinematic and get in a pretty intense discussion. But it’s all worth it – and I love Blur for how much they believe in the character and their work.

I love Blur cinematics. They did such a fantastic job on Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It’s a shame they are not returning for its sequal.

Agreed, their CGI is awesome! Although Onimusha 3’s intro is still probably the best I’ve seen

The cut scenes where great but they where BLURry. Game play looked better then the cut scenes usually it is the other way around, whats up with that.

It truely goes to show that Blur is the best there is at what they do.
I wish they could do MUA2, it’d be a blessing.
Strangely enough, they don’t list Wolverine yet on their official website.

Suppose you have an image from which you want to make a 35-by-35-pixel thumbnail. What you’ll be doing is creating a new image that is 35 by 35 pixels in size; making a graphics stream containing the contents of the original image; and then placing a resized version of the original image into the new, empty graphic. must university AND Degrees AND Degree Programs

Probably too many times to count. Remember in the movie X2: X-Men United, when the Xavier mansion is being raided by soldiers? Then Wolverine hears some guys sneaking around, and before they know what’s what, he’s already leapt out from nowhere and eviscerated them. How badass is that?!

Official Feedback on the Game Thread
Hi! I have a question to the moderators/developers. The Weapon X Arena DLC when will be available for PC?Or it is? Plz reply only with…
(96)Why is gameplay/story SO different between different supported game systems?
This answer is pretty late but different studios were in charge of making different versions. This optimizes the development for each specific console, rather than…
(2)Wolverine - X-Man or Avenger?
I would say definitly X-Men. No questions asked.
(39)Runtime Error
(1)Do you think that Wolverine was badass enough in X-Men Origins?
[color=gray]yes?[/color]
