Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...
Free Guy Posters Parody Minecraft GTA Among Us Mario & More Games
In perhaps the most fitting marketing move of all, Free Guy gets a new line of posters parodying video games like Animal Crossing and Among Us.
In perhaps the most fitting marketing move of all, Free Guy gets a new line of posters parodying video games like Grand Theft Auto and Among Us. Video game adaptations are notoriously hit or miss. On one end of the spectrum, there are solid efforts like this year's Mortal Kombat and 2019's Detective Pikachu. On the other end are the misfires, like Assassin's Creed and Warcraft. If the reviews are to be believed, this week's Free Guy will be among the best of the best, though it isn't technically based on a specific game.
Starring Ryan Reynolds as the titular NCP, Free Guy centers on an unassuming bank teller who faces every day with a cheerful smile, even when he's frequently beaten and held up by gun-toting criminals. Guy lives in the video game world of Free City, and it isn't until he meets Molotov Girl (Jodie Comer) that he learns the truth about his existence. With Free City in danger of shutting down, Guy and Molotov Girl must team up to save the day.
To help drum up excitement for Free Guy, new posters have been released online. Each one parodies a popular video game, from Mario Party to Animal Crossing. Video game enthusiasts will get a kick out of seeing how each cover is translated to fit Free Guy's characters and world. Check them out below.
If Free City is similar to any video game, it's perhaps the most like Grand Theft Auto, in that it's an open world game where players are encouraged to incite mayhem. One could even argue the name Free City is in reference to Vice City, which is the same GTA game that is parodied above. The creative team behind Free Guy, which includes director Shawn Levy, have stated that the movie is about more than games. At the same time, Free Guy contains numerous gaming cameos and Easter eggs for fans to discover. There might even be some references to the games referenced in the new posters.
Free Guy arrives over a year after it was originally slated to debut in theaters. The coronavirus pandemic delayed it to this summer, but it will now roll out in theaters this weekend. Unlike select recent movies like The Suicide Squad and Black Widow, Free Guy won't be backed by a streaming release, so there's much interest in seeing how the movie will perform at the box office. It'll be fascinating to see if video game fans flock to this original tale, and if they'll be won over by Guy's pixelated adventure.
