Current Events > why is there an Apocalypse Now video game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

i strongly doubt that the game will manage to do anything better than the movie.

and if their aim is to disregard the film and tell their own interpretation of the story, I strongly doubt they'll manage to top Spec Ops, which attempted something similar.

How do you make that into a game? Add a bunch of shoot outs?

It's an FPS apparently

And yeah it looks like it.

I mean for me the cinematography and acting was what made the movie, things I don't see a game being able to replicate. Not unless it was being done by Naught Dog or something, they're the only dev I can think of that would even stand a chance of making a good product.

Well, the movie is a self-indulgent behemoth that killed off auteur-driven cinema. Maybe the game version will be a self-indulgent behemoth that kills off AAA gaming?

Yeah there's only been a handful of games that have managed cinematography equivalent to films or TV. You mentioned Naughty Dogs games, I'd say Team Ico does a good job, and Mass Effect 2. That's really all that comes to mind right now.

Yeah I didn't get that either "pay us with your own money so we can remake an excellent film into an unnecessary and likely mediocre game"

This idea was already was already somewhat captured in Far Cry 2 (the Heart of Darkness part, anyway). I'm curious to see if they can pull it off.

I love the smell of horrible game adaptations in the morning.
