Cameron To Bring Battle Angel To X-Box? Date: 3/11/2005 |
|
Gamespot reports the following: Lost amid the hubbub of today's Microsoft keynote at the Game Developers Conference was news that James Cameron is working on a game for the next-generation Xbox. The news came in the form of a video montage of game, consumer electronics, and entertainment luminaries speaking about the future of entertainment and the power of Microsoft's next-generation console. One of the said luminaries was none other than Cameron, director of Titanic, Aliens, and the first two Terminator films. At first, his remarks were broad to the extreme. "The technology is changing so rapidly. What's coming over the horizon the next couple of years is going to enable the imagery during the actual gameplay to look so much like the pre-rendered cinematic sections," he said. "It's going to feel like a lucid dream that you're in a movie and experiencing it and manipulating it." But during a following segment, Cameron got much more specific. First, he told of his plans for an Enter the Matrix-like crossover game based on his next movie. "In my next film, I can only tell you what we're planning on doing which is simultaneous developing a major motion picture and hopefully a major game title that co-exists in the same world, that share characters." He continued, "Going into that world will actually inform those watching the film and vice-versa. I don't want to say anything more than that because I don't want to give away some of the cool stuff that we're working on." Given that Cameron's comments were featured during a Microsoft presentation about the next-gen-Xbox, and given the fact he specifically mentions his work on a game version of his next project, it would stand to reason that game would be a version of Battle Angel for the Xbox Next. However, Microsoft reps would neither confirm nor deny that conclusion. "I'm not going to argue with those observations, but the fact remains we have not made any announcements," was all a representative for the company would say. |
