REAL STEEL - WRB.COM

Creative & Project Management

We developed a robust, single user, online robot boxing game to support the release of the 2011 DreamWorks movie Real Steel. Progressive-release features of the game included explore, design, train, career, exhibition, community leaderboard, achievements and upgrades. The project included the development of a wireless controller for the HP TouchPad.

Fidelity To Movie

The game needed to be highly faithful to the movie property. Robot appearances, personalities and signature moves in the ring needed to closely match on-screen versions. Close attention was also paid to camera moves and audio effects.

Game Capture

This in-game footage was from final stages of game development as we were fine tuning camera moves and robot fight interaction.

Explore Demo

HP TouchPad Controller

We developed a Brass Monkey enabled wireless game controller for the HP TouchPad. Tilting, gestures and thumb taps remotely controlled the robot's punches, blocks and special moves.
