The Convergence of Games and Film

Gamasutra has a piece on the ever-increasing convergence of games and films. The final chapter meeting of the IGDA's San Francisco chapter this year had an event focusing on, in particular, the preponderance of Star Wars games. From the article: "The convergence of film and game production has been predicted for years, but progress has been slow... cultural, logistical, financial, and computational barriers have kept the two worlds apart. Everybody sees convergence, most want it, but few know what it really means and fewer still have actually tried it."

But.. but.. I thought the convergence were the Mortal Kombat flicks!

Just had to wait for Hollywood...

Everyone just had to wait for Hollywood. Their screenwriters are so full of dry storylines that they need fresh material. It will only be a matter of time before they ruin games, too.

If this ever happens any way...
