Chinese gaming company ZQGame announced plans today for an MMO game based on the upcoming film Total Recall. The film, set for release next year, is a remake of the 1990 movie and stars Colin Farrell as the guy Arnold Schwarzenegger played in original.

The game will be fully 3D and entirely browser based, with no need to download any software. ZQGame promises that the game will feature console quality graphics, and will also be free to play. According to the developer, the game will support itself with "micro-transactions containing a hybrid of features from traditional MMOs and social games, such as PVP and PVE environments and a collaborative "memory quest" system."

The game will officially release on August 3 of next year, the same day as the film.

I fell off my chair, but I don't know if it was from laughter or shock.

Lolwut? Colin Farrell's replacing Arnold? I don't think so.
by LJGB Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 06:47 PM

Why on earth are they remaking it? The original is brilliant.
by MALTHUSIA Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:05 PM

i agree with LJGB

This sounds interesting if they're able to do it. Wish it was the original though.

Saddest thing I EVER heard from gaming industry. Its almost an insult...
by LotusBud Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:21 PM

Is that the movie where Arnold pulled that giant ball thing out of his nose?? That really freaked me out as a kid.
by Gary Pryor Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:22 PM

Is that picture from the TV show that I tried to watch, but quickly lost interest in?
by MarcoSnow Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:37 PM

Bryan Cranston plays the villain in this remake, so I'm willing to give this movie a shot, regardless of Arnie's absence.
by Phoenix Z117 Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:37 PM

Seriously running out of movie ideas now aren't they?
by Abertix24 Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:40 PM

Wow, this is pretty interesting...
by Buddy Acker Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:52 PM

I guess that's cool.
by Solstice Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:58 PM

Arnold is what makes Total Recall. It was just a totally Arnie-movie.
by Matthew Fugere Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 07:59 PM

Everything about that sounds kinda horrible, but ya never know, right?
by VinsanityV22 Tuesday, November 08, 2011 at 08:03 PM

Nothing here sounds good. Including the whole "Colin Farrell as Arnold Schwarzenegger" part of the remake. In fact, a whole lot of the remake sounds awful - the director of Underworld (Len Wiseman), the fact that it no longer takes place on Mars (so it's pretty anti-sci fi), or the fact that it's basically going to be a grounded, creatively stunted, Bourne Identity ripoff. But let's talk about the game... Why is a Chinese developer working on this? Despite being a browser based, fully 3D game with "console quality graphics", it's still going to be shoved out the door on the day the movie releases? Because that's NEVER a sign of quality. And that results in bad games when movie tie ins AREN'T trying to be MMOs. This will be a disaster. Perhaps an interesting disaster, but a disaster nonetheless.

This remake and this MMO sound stupid all around.
