"Pacific Rim" Hybride Technologies revealed

Take a behind-the-scenes look at some of the incredible visual effects our Hybride Technologies team developed for the recent blockbuster Pacific Rim!



For this second collaboration with Director Guillermo del Toro, Hybride delivered graphic design content for the holographic projections inside Jaeger Conn-Pods and control rooms (Loccents). Hybride's graphic designers also created visual signatures for the HUDS (heads-up displays) allowing audiences to instantly recognize each robot's country of origin.



In addition, Hybride artists produced arm grid and hand disk holograms around the pilot suits and also designed and created motion graphics for control room monitors as well as for the holographic television screens and computer monitors seen throughout the film.

Pacific Rim Video Game- Gameplay Video

Pacific Rim is a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade ten dollar game, that also happens to be movie licensed. If anything, this was a success in my opinion. The gameplay is reminiscent of Godzilla Unleashed, Godzilla Save the Earth, and other Kaiju fighting games. I don't know why people were expecting a high quality movie licensed title.

Gamespot  video game review said that, Pacific Rim wisely avoids any attempt to follow the film's storyline to the letter, but the repetition of playing as the same three Jaegers (or robots) and two Kaiju (or monsters) throughout its mere 12 stages sours the experience. Without explanation, it soon pits you against other Jaegers instead of the monsters threatening human existence as we know it, and to make matters worse, each of the five combatants in the core release cling to patterns so predictable that it's not too much of a challenge to score a gold ranking after but one failed attempt. That's less true of the harder Survival mode, but even mastering its additional challenges amounts to little more than making smarter blocks and throwing well-timed punches.
