E3 Q&A: Sega's Simon Jeffery

GS: Well, back to Western publishers. How are the two Aliens games coming along?

 

SJ: Again, neither will be shown at the E3 this year, but it's an incredibly exciting project. We're working very closely with [film studio 20th Century] Fox to make the launch of those games feel actually like a new Aliens movie is coming out, because the investment and the passion that's going into them from Gearbox, Obsidian, and from Sega itself are just really, really cool and very, very exciting. But I probably don't want to say anything more than that at this point in time.

 

GS: Are they going to be released around the same time as each other, or is that still up in air?

 

SJ: It's still to be announced.

Good catch, croco. But I didn't know there were two games.

You never heard about the Gearbox game? Seriously? There's a thread about it.

 

I thought they were collaborating on it, rather than having a separate game.

Gearbox is making an fps and Obsidian an rpg. They collaborate on art assets, design and such, but ultimately they are done separately.

And nothing about new Golden AXe too...

This means we'll see PG, right Nelson? :)

How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them.

So no information at E3, then? That's a shame, though far from a surprise. I'll be quite interested to see how they make the launch of the games similar to the launch of a new Alien movie - that's the kind of thing that LucasArts has tried to do.

Well, if they continue the advancing in game making, especially in the role playing genre, it is almost like making interactive movies. You have that laready in games like the KotORs and Jade Empire.

Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer.

I think to claim Jade Empire or KOTOR are like interactive movies is to just blatantly insult movies. The pacing of either is absolutely ridiculous for a movie.

 

Action and adventure (+ action adventure!) have a far greater chance of breaching the gap between game and movie than RPGs likely ever will.

 

Sorry, I get opinionated when I'm working.

I'll cut you.

Seriously, though, it's probably true that an FPS is the most likely genre to reach cinema status. Personally, while I like the cinematics in games, I don't play a game to get a movie experience anyhow. Something about the interactive nature of games just doesn't lend itself to the same feel as a book or a movie. Games should be a literary vehicle in their own right.

I think to achieve cinematic status for games, you have to take a movie then add game to that. Not take a game and add cinema to that. Dragon's Lair is interactive cinema. Some things like Resident Evil 5 and Indigo Prophecy merely have interactice cinematics.

Dragons lair, man that takes me back.

 

 

Although, it's not really that interactive, you only get a couple of dabs at the joystick for every sequence.

That is all.
