Game Developers Missed Out
« on: December 09, 2005, 11:28:00 AM »

I don't know about all the issues involved in making games out of movies, but I recently screened Aeon Flux.  I loved the cartoon on MTV with all its wierdness and crazy imagery.

It seems to me that this could have been the first killer app for the 360, had a dev. team got on the ball.  Movie/game studios are usually really good about cross promotion.

Aeon Flux could be a GREAT 3rd person shooter/action game.  Game developers could have had all sorts of freedom to include out-of-this-world physics, fighting, role-play, shoot-em-up, sneak and creep, and insane graphics given the 360's gobs of power.

This was the first thing I said after watching the movie, and I still think it could've been a great game.

I've heard it's not that good.... neither was the movie from what I've heard.

I do love the old animated version though.

I haven't even looked at Xbox games since I got my 360-I should.
I really liked the movie overall, but I'm a dork.
And, I guess since the game sucks then they did miss out on a great opportunity.

I've heard the same thing, too. However, there's only one reason I'm going to see that movie:
