Is this based on the video game???


There was a video game of the same name and plot that came out around 7 or 8 years ago. I was just wondering if anyone knows if this show is supposed to be based on the game. Tx.

This is based on the same comic book the game was also based on.

I haven't played the game yet, I heard it was really good.

i didn't finish the game, but it was pretty cool. mostly in part cuz it was drawn just like a comic. though that may turn some people off

<Same thing. Heard about the Movie and Series coming out.
Curious where the WHOLE storyline goes, ends up. But I'll probably never finish it if I bother to start watching, like the game.

Might give the movie/miniseries a shot, a beief tale, with a long beginning. It's a conspiracy based media, anoyone can just fall down the rabbit hole and see where it leads. Would have been nice to follow it,(Never thought it would make it to this day) instead of all the brilliant tv shows that don't make it past S01. No, that does not make them all such great shows, but I didnt come here to give my opinion or even to state fact. As far as I know.. Comic book, Game, Movie/miniseries, Series. If anyone is interested in XII, Give it a try.

I played the game back on the Gamecube, and it was pretty cool. David Duchovny did the voice acting for the main character.

It was oke for it's time I think. Timesplitters was better. And comparible.

Well yeah timersplitters was the best game of the generation but XIII was pretty good to. I was disappointed by the cliffhanger ending of the game that never got its sequel. Its cool to know I can finish the story now.
