Is the new Tintin game as faithful to the comics as its makers want it to be? We take look
Given the vast catalogue of Tintin comics to choose from, some might ask why the upcoming Tintin video game adaptation is based on Cigars of the Pharaoh. As the fourth volume of Tintin published by Hergé, the comic is a relatively early one, and lacks key characters such as Captain Haddock and Professor Calculus.
"Cigars of the Pharaoh was the perfect choice, and as it's [connected] with the Blue Lotus, it opens the door for the next game."Before we start thinking about the next Tintin game, however, we should probably take a closer look at the game at hand. Releasing later this year, Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh is an action-adventure game, featuring a mixture of action sequences and puzzle-solving segments.
"So our first inspiration was the last comic, the one with colours," Fortuny Pi explains."But to expand some segments or add extra sequences, we had some ideas, and also some specific assets from the old comics to expand these segments. Not only from the original version of [Cigars of the Pharaoh], but also from other comics, and from other drawings that Hergé made, to make it last longer. We didn't want to construct anything from zero.
In some cutscenes, Tintin's face does occasionally look a little strange - perhaps due to the novelty of seeing the character rendered in 3D. For much of the game this isn't a problem, however, as you mostly see the back of Tintin's head.
