Kong Lives!

eToyChest is reporting that, if you play your cards right in the game version of the Kong film, King Kong might return home the end of the game. Apparently the designers thought people wouldn't want to play if they already knew the ending. From the article: "To unlock the alternate ending, players must complete the entire game and then go back and play through various maps and earn a total of 250,000 points. Other unlockable features include several Weta Digital concept art galleries, interviews with both Peter Jackson and Phillipa Boyens, an "old movie" filter, a King Kong theatrical trailer and more."

Well, it's better than a King Kong Hot Coffee mod story about how to go about unlocking Kong-themed erotic content, or a revelation that beating the game in under an hour lets you see Kong waving at you in a bathing suit.

Rough translation

If Kong works hard enough and lives long enough, he becomes another remade classic character [imdb.com] and HE TAKES THEIR BULLETS!!1 in a cocaine-filled rage. Or maybe not, but it's still fun to think of a cokehead gorilla who likes blondes.

Re:Uh, great?

Yeah. But replace "Kong waving at you in a bathing suit" with "Naomi Watts waving at you in a bathing suit" and I'd take the task with all the patience and sloth of a Saleen S7.

This should be used in other games...

They should think about this for other games that are based on movies. For example, if you manage to score 500,000 points without going through any warp smokestacks, the Titanic doesn't sink. Or if you manage to kill everybody in Star Wars: Galaxies using only the force-grip-throw-off-a-cliff-or-into-a-wall thing you get to go back in time and slap George Lucas around so he leaves the movie industry directly after the release of Return of the Jedi to go live in a commune in Montana, sparing us horror of the Special Editions and the prequels.

Don't you want to beat him up before he invents ewoks? Or is that necessary to fuel your rage for a post-ROTJ beating?

almost but not quite

[snuf23]

"Naomi Watts waving at you in a bathing suit"

should be

"Naomi Watts waving her bathing suit at you"

I see enough problems with your spelling. Then again, your post might have been typed from your console.
