Adventure Gamers - Forums

This is my theory: story-driven games will become so increasingly popular, that Hollywood will see a chance in this - they will realize it would be better to create an adventure game with actors, than a blockbuster movie. Next, we’ll have Christopher Nolan making Inception 2 “Choice and Consequence game” that you would play at home, instead of going to cinema. You’ll buy popcorns and invite your date to - a computer!! You’ll argue about the dialog choices, and if you would rather save Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom Hardy in a dramatic quick-time event… but by the time you reach the ending you’ll realize it didn’t really matter anything to the plot, so you’ll make piece and kiss for a long night.

Then, Peter Jackson will create “The Silmarillion interactive experience”, a comprehensive “walking simulator” through a Middle Earth and beyond. You will walk through a Middle-Earth in real time, as an aging Ian McKellen, and in order to win the game you’ll need to play it for exactly 11 years!

Then, the directors will start to drop more and more bits of interaction, until they realize they’re making regular movies once again, but by that time adventure games will be on top the world once again!!!

Man!. i want from what you are on.  

I can just imagine a board meeting from the ‘90s where some hot shot young executive tried to make the same pitch word-for-word to someone from SEGA or Interplay. “The future is in digital interactive movies, Johnson! We’ve got to strike while the iron is hot!”

Netflix has already started experimenting with Choose Your own path-style programs. They’ve already released an episode of Puss in Boots, in where you are given 2 choices to proceed to the ending.
