Call of Juarez was one of my most beloved games. Back in the days of DX9, the game featured spectacular visuals and incorporated some unique ideas. Moreover, it was a quality Wild West game, and we didn’t have one since… Outlaws. It basically filled a gap and became even prettier with a DX10 patch that Techland released afterwards. It seems though that the company didn’t realize the reasons behind CoJ’s success. Either that or they became gritty – like most others – and wanted to appeal to a wider audience. The result was a sequel that was inferior to its prequel and a third part that has nothing to do with the series. It could easily be a new IP franchise instead of a Call of Juarez game, but I guess Techland needed the name to trick and sell the game to the fans of the series.

Tom Antos released today a new live-action short film that is based on Bethesda’s Skyrim. This video showcases a dragon’s hunt and although it looks good, it lacks a bit polishing here and there. The sounds are also a bit underwhelming but overall, it’s sweet and shows that there is great potential for an actual live-action mini series. Check it out after the jump.
