SCi Games adapting ConstantineWarner Bros. awards game rights for the upcoming Keanu Reeves thriller to the Conflict: Vietnam publisher.
Despite recent moves to bulk up its internal games division (including acquiring Monolith Productions), Warner Bros. has sold a potentially lucrative movie license to an external publisher. SCi Games, the company behind Conflict: Vietnam and Galleon, will publish a game based on Constantine, Warner's upcoming supernatural thriller. The game will be developed by Bits Studios, which created Rogue Ops and Die Hard: Vendetta, and is scheduled to ship for the PlayStation 2 alongside the film's February 2005 release.
Based on the Helblazer graphic novels from DC Comics, Constantine profiles paranormal investigator John Constantine, who will be played by Keanu Reeves. Having already survived a literal trip to hell, Constantine teams up with a mortal policewoman (Rachel Weisz) to uncover the reasons behind her sister's suicide. The pair's sleuthing bring them into contact with some very unusual--and often demonic--suspects.
GameSpot will have more details on Constantine as they become available.

*laughs* There is nothing tough about me. I'm a total wimp when it comes to gory stuff.
Mikey2, no I haven't played Doom 3 yet. Wrong gaming system at my house and I don't think my pc could handle it. I have heard great things about it though. Very scary stuff in Doom3 I hear.
