A Raven rep, speaking at GDC, told VG247 that Hugh Jackman really got into his Wolverine role while doing voiceovers for X-Men Origins.

“You should have seen him,” she said. “He really got into the role. He even got up first thing in the morning and took a really cold shower to get himself nice and angry for his part as Wolverine.”

No mention if he ripped anyone in the studio to shreds while he was at it, but it’s nice to know that method acting isn’t a lost art.

The game’s out for all formats on May 1.

There’s a dev diary for X-Men Origins: Wolverine after the break, which makes the claim that this is “the movie game that finally does not suck”.

There’s a ton of gameplay footage in there, and it’s all looking very swish. There’s stuff in there about Wolverine healing in real-time as well.

It’s out on all formats in May.

Raven confirmed during a X-Men Origins: Wolverine demo at GDC last week that, while the game will follow its tie-on movie’s plot, it’ll contain enemies and other aspects not included in the film.

By way of example, Activision demoed a boss battle including a brand new baddie, and what we saw is definitely over-the-top.

The scene showed Wolverine surrounded by a bunch of soldiers trying to kill him. Nothing too shocking there. It got a bit ridiculous when a huge mechanical giant, a Sentinel, came a-calling.

Looking a bit like Iron Man, this chap’s the size of a small skyscraper. The interesting aspect of the demo wasn’t that Wolverine turned him into scrap metal, but how.

As in most boss fights, you perform certain moves a predestined number of times and a cut-scene rolls. In this instance, the robot took off into the sky via rocket propulsion in it’s feet, with Wolverine hanging on for the ride, pounding his claws into it, pulling wires here and there.

Mr Sentinel suddenly started to not feel so good and free-fell to earth.

There was some QTE to avoid debris coming off the boss. At various points Wolverine caught up to it, climbed on board and started ripping it to shreds, before being tossed backwards to start the sequence again, and eventually hit the ground – giving the Sentinel his piece de resistance – to survive a huge explosion.

Very super-action-hero.

Other stuff. Wolverine looks tattered and torn after battles. He can heal himself, so ripped skin showing off bare muscles glues up quickly.

You can expect to see the game sitting on store shelves in May, for all platforms.

Activision has released the first behind-the-scenes video for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

You can watch it after the break.

We’ll repost our GDC impressions of the game once the new embargo date passes.

If you pre-order X-Men Origins: Wolverine from Gamestop, you’ll get access to exclusive DLC, Activision announced today.

The content will be four new rooms (Dismemberment Room, the Environtimental Room, the Ladder Challenge, and the Custom Combat Arena), “each of which offers players unique new toys.”

Interested? Get the skinny below.

Also after the break is a brand new trailer for the action-adventure movie tie-in. Presumably released on the same day as the DLC announcement to make you go, “Yeah, that looks great, I think I’ll pre-order it. Might as well, I get some free DLC, too.” Or something.

In an interview in this month’s EGM, Raven’s Dan Vondrak has listed the games that have influenced the development team working on Marvel brawler, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

“God of War was an influence. Devil May Cry, even Super Smash Bros., to a point,” he told the mag.

“When we play [games like that], we just like the simplicity. Every character has their basic set of moves — that’s simple. People get that, and mass market gets that, so we’re making sure we bring that to Wolverine.”

Vondrak goes on to say that the speed of Wolverine will leave other games in its wake “People are going to play Wolverine and then be annoyed with how slow other action games are,” he said.

“We’ve gone back and played highly touted action games we all love, and you’re in these attacks forever. And it’s not just the speed — it’s the ease in which you’re able to [break] out of your attacks at any time.”

Game’s out in May.

Thanks, 1UP.

Ziff Davis ‘zine Electronic Gaming Monthly plans on unchaining the new Wolverine game in an upcoming issue, but the EGM staff dribbled out a few details to sate gamers’ appetites until the main event hits newsstands.

The game, called X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is in development at Raven Software and promises “real-time in-game healing …an elegantly accessible combat system, a sweet boss fight against the very first Sentinel robot prototype, and lots more.”

Apparently, this time around, Wolverine’s particular brand of slice ‘n’ dice will take a few pointers from games like God of War and, er, Super Smash Bros – but how exactly those games fit into the latest X-Men jigsaw puzzle is still unknown.

Fortunately, the new EGM’s fresh fumes should already be wafting from subscribers mailboxes, so expect more info soon.
