Du har måske allerede bemærket at trafikken i stigende grad går den anden vej mellem spil- og filmbranchen. Tidligere så vi næsten kun fjollede filmversioner af kampspil, men nu har filmbranchen fået øjnene op for den succes, som spilbranchen har haft med især de store dyre titler. Er du i humør til et mere dybdegående brancheinterview, bør du i dag slå vejen forbi Gamesindustry.biz. Her har Infinity Wards Modern Warefare 2 instruktør, Keith Arem, sat sig i den varme stol og bidrager med en række interessante brancherelaterede betragtninger. Han belyser de forskelle der er imellem film- og spilmediet, men hæfter sig også ved, at Hollywood i stigende grad er interesseret i synergier med spilproduktionen.
Keith Arem: It’s amazing to see the difference between what it was a few years ago and what it is now. Games were always the bastard step-child to the film industry and what’s interesting was games were always considered a secondary property. There’s been a complete 180 in the past several years with games like Modern Warfare and Grand Theft Auto, and these have shown that these can change perceptions. People have realised that the quality of games has dramatically improved, not just on the visual quality, fidelity and interactivity, but really on the performances, the story and the ability for a viewer to embrace a world that’s big and really respect it for what it is. The game industry has really come into its own, not just from a financial stand point with people respecting the amount of dollars a franchise can do, but they look at it as really great story, as really great characters, and an amazing environment that people want to spend time in. These are viable platforms for delivering story and content. And I’ve seen that from producers, and from the studios in the past year and definitely from the actors.
