Although the Predator franchise has been around for almost four decades, it hasn’t had a lot of video game adaptations that lived up to the original movie. Dan Trachtenberg–the director of Prey, Predator: Killer of Killers, and the upcoming Predator: Badlands–wants to see that change. And he believes Predator deserves a game on par with two AAA franchises.<\/p>\n
“I am desperate for there to be a third-person action-adventure, Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed, that kind of open-world thing,” Trachtenberg told IGN<\/a>. “Concrete Jungle was something that I missed unfortunately. And that was a long time ago. And there’s just so much fun to be had game wise, I think, with Predator. I hope it could happen.”<\/p>\n Predator: Concrete Jungle<\/a> was released in 2005, and it put players in control of a Predator who had to reclaim his lost technology from the humans who stole it. While Trachtenberg didn’t play that game, he did reveal that he once designed a Predator video game level as part of a contest for the defunct gaming magazine GamePro.<\/p>\n “I used to love GamePro and there was a contest … to design a level and then you would make it in the magazine,” recalled Trachtenberg. “And I submitted, I designed a Predator video game level that I’m sure I was just copying Contra. And I did not make it into the magazine.”<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Trachtenberg noted that Shadow of the Colossus heavily inspired Badlands<\/a>. In a separate interview<\/a>, he also cited Half-Life 2, Prince of Persia, and Uncharted as games that helped shape his vision for the story.<\/p>\n Predator: Badlands will hit theaters on November 7. The most recent game in the franchise, Predator: Hunting Grounds<\/a>, was ported to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although the Predator franchise has been around for almost four decades, it hasn’t had a lot of video…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,270],"class_list":["post-84410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
