In Response To: Re: X06 Peter Jackson on Interactive Storytelling (Tempus Fugit) : He has many great ideas, great scripts and good stories sitting around but he : can't make movies out of them because he doesn't have enough time and : ressources to work on that many projects at one time. : But now imagine you could tell these stories in an exciting, cinematic and : involving way, you don't have to cram the stories into a 2 hour movie and : the budget to realise even the most epic stories is much smaller than a : big budget Hollywood movie on that scale. : You take these stories, license a game engine, hire videogame developers and : you basically develop a movie with polygonal models and geometry in an : existing game engine. The story is going to play out in real time in front : of the player, powered by his own Xbox 360 and even better, he is going to : be able to interact with the - for the lack of a better word - : "movie" in certain key moments. Sort of like Dragons Lair, Zork : and all that FMV game kind of stuff. : But you are not looking at video sequences here, it's all being rendered in : real time on your Xbox 360 while you are watching it. I don't know how : this concept is going to seperate itself further from the cheesy FMV games : of the 90's but I think it's a very good idea. Especially in combination : with XBL where you can distribute new episodes of your digital miniseries : on a regular basis. : That's the way I understand it. I could be totally wrong, but I like to think : I'm right because I really like the idea. I think you caught his drift. What you said is exactly what I picked up from it too.
