Forums - Gaming - 2 Spielberg Games Revealed

In a story dated for July 16 in Newsweek, Spielberg reveals his upcoming games. A Wii exclusives, and a PS3/360 multiplatform game. Before I get started and give the descriptions of the two games I would like to say that Stephen Spielberg as many of you know is one of the greatest directors of all time. They say that lots of directors can make a great movie, but Spielberg knows what the public wants in its "great movies". A rare talent that will hopefully be transferred to these two games.

 

Wii game - Codenamed PQRS is an "action-puzzle simulator" that is described as Jenga meets a Saturday morning cartoon by Croal. The description states that you can manipulate blocks with the remote.

 

PS3/360 game - Codenamed LMNO, described as ET meets North by Northwest. Only if ET were a girl, grown up, and "really hot".

 

You don't play as the girl, however. You're an ex-secret agent, and the bond that you forge while on the run with the computer-controlled woman--good, bad, indifferent--determines the nature of her special abilities and the ways in which she'll assist you. Says Spielberg: "The challenge is, can the game have an emotional impact on players while they are actively manipulating the world?" Based on the clever ways in which he and EA are extracting a genuine performance from their digital Eve--complete with eyes that widen, lips that curl and translucent skin that lights up in different colors to express her quicksilver moods--we think Spielberg's got yet another hit on his hands.

Is my start post missing for anyone else or is it just me?



Why is this thread blank? (Joking, I see 2 posts)

So, like Super Princess Peach, but in 3d, and you're not the girl? 



See Ya George.

"He did not die - He passed Away"

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

While I wouldn't come close to calling Spielberg one of the greatest directors of all time (I'd say he's a pretty good director), it's interesting to see someone like him focus on videogames. I'm quite curious to see how these games will set themselves apart from what we're used to.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Well I consider him one of the greatest, he has had a hand as either the Director or executive producer in ET, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Poltergeist, Shrek, Indiana Jones. I could probably name about a dozen more, but hey, everyones entitled to their opinion.

Anyways, I am looking forward to seeing more on these games.

Both games are still too vague to really discuss. But it's possible that they end up good.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

IMO neither of them sound good at this point, but I suppose I'm judging them too early. Guess I'll wait and see.
