    Constantin Film has released their second highlights video “Rules of the Game” from Gamescom. With Dee on vacation, we’ve got a partial translation, thanks to my friend Carla!

    UPDATE: We now have a full translation from Dee!

    Episode 2: Rules of the Game

    What happened so far: 12 female commanders of the International Fleet are looking for the chosen fighter at Gamescom. In cooperation with KEF we have built a gigantic laser tag arena. Here we test the abilties of potential heroes to secure peace for the entire world. AFter you have registered yourself and your team for the laser tag game, you receive a fastlane pass, which will shorten the time you will have to wait in line enormously. One of our commanders will soon take care of you and will prepare you and your team for the Great Game. Each fighter receives an Ender’s Game uniform and a lasertag (gun). The goal is to mark the enemy team with as many laser tags as possible over the course of five minutes. As soon as you are ready for your great moment, the gates to the Ender’s Game laser tag arena will open. Ender’s Game. From October 24 in cinemas.

    Ender’s Game: The Great Game – Highlights Gamescom Day 1
    Episode 1: Preparations

    It is the year 2013. The danger of the aliens invading for a third time is ever-present and still dominates life on Earth. In search of the one chosen warrior who has what it takes to save mankind we’ve pitched our boot camp at the world’s largest interactive gaming and entertainment event: Gamescom. For the next five days, about 300.000 of the most talented warriors of the most diverse backgrounds will meet here. Our administration includes 12 carefully selected commanders of the International Fleet (short: IF). Our boot camp has been equipped with a gigantic laser tag arena. Here, we test the abilities, the strategies and, most importantly, the courage of our soldiers. Since there is likely to be a large crowd, we offer you the chance to register (for free) for a fast lane pass, which will grant you preferential treatment when it comes to participating in the Great Game. Prove your abilities! This is your chance. Build your army and register now at Facebook/Endersgamefilm. The next report from Gamescom will be uploaded tomorrow at noon. Ender’s Game. In Cinemas from October 24.

    And if that’s not cheesy enough for you to be thoroughly entertained, here is a fun fact: the guy saying these lines is the German voice of Robert de Niro.

     
    A few days ago, Constantin also released a trailer for the laser tag tournament. In the Cologne area, it has been shown in cinemas to draw a crowd to Gamescom. Unfortunately, the youtube version of it is only viewable in Germany, but here it is anyway:

     

     

    Translation:

    It is the year 2013. The danger of the aliens invading a third time is ever-present and dominates life on Earth. You are our last hope to find the chosen warrior, one who knows no fear or mercy. Have you got what it takes to be a hero? Ender’s Game – The Laser Tag Challenge. Prove yourself in the laser tag arena only at Gamescom 2013 in Cologne. Build your team and register on Facebook/Endersgamefilm.

    (This one is narrated by the German voice of Harrison Ford.)

    For those of you who can’t watch the trailer, Crystal made a screencap of the laser tag arena:

    This looks effing awesome! And to imagine that for most of the year I live only about 2 and a half hours from Cologne, and I still couldn’t make it ….
     
    So, what do you think of the laser tag challenge? (Or the dramatic prose, for that matter.) Share your thoughts in the comments!
