<div class="IPBDescription">Peter Molyneux explains The Movies</div>Saw <a href='http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/strategy/movies/preview_6094651.html' target='_blank'>this Q&A session</a> with Peter Molyneux on Gamespot regarding Lionhead's newest baby (which should be done soonish), The Movies.

For those that don't know what The Movies is, its a simulation game (think SimCity) where you're the head of a movie studio. And its really like 2 games in 1 because you can choose to either manage the entire studio, or just to make your own little movies based on your choices between a few hundred prescripted actions (giving you more variety than 90% of all hollywood films).

And best of all (or maybe worst), you can save the movie and upload it to the interweb to share with the world (presumably even to people who don't have the game). I expect to make a lot of video game -> movie translations. I think I'll do Alone In The Dark first. :P

Be sure to check out the video for an example film made by Peter titled "It Came From Uranus" for an example of what sorta stuff you can do w/ the movie management side of the game.

    Certainly looks interesting, and at the very least a slice of fresh innovation.

    I've been following what i could of this game for quite some time now, but that's the first time i've seen what it's capable of.

    It just proves me theory. Peter Molyneux is some form of god, nay, THE god, and he's come to save us all from the sin of crappy games. He shall soon own us all.

    He DID invent god games, so it's fitting.

    the coding is what gets some people, heard about this game too, at the local shop they had a poll asking what your first movie would be and like 70% said a porno.

    I'm going to do game-to-movie conversions. Maybe some horror influenced greatly by lovecraft. You know, the usual. Is there an anticipated release?

    porn in 1920 is sure to get you those high ratings. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    redeemed, while I'm not sure porn is possible, erotic movies, in one form or another, should be.

    Man... I really wanted Peter to shut his trap during the film. He wouldn't stop babbling about his movie!
  • JezpuhJezpuh Join Date: 2003-04-03 Member: 15157Banned
    Eh.. the point is to show an example with explanation.
