...goes to google Megan Ellison and Spike Jonze... Why would I get excited? Got it, they are kind of big names in the movie business and one of them is an heir of a CEO fortune, but there is no reason for me to believe they are even competent at video games.
Remember when they announced Gaghan was hired to write a script for a game? Call of Duty: Ghost was the end result. How about the Wachowsky writing Enter the Matrix? That was a good one, right? The composer of Pi and Black Swan doing videogames music? Mass Effect 3. Modern Warfare 3 is the result of the writer of Crash and Million Dollar Baby wanting to get into video games, and the creative mind of Steven Spielberg gave us Boom Blox.
So, no thank you. Having talent on movies means absolutely nothing when talking about games, because of the same reason MovieBob mentioned in this week intermission. 90% of the people that try to make that jump thinks of movies like high art, and video games like odd jobs that can open them doors. Most of them don't understand the medium, don't really care about it and believe its simple.
Every time I hear someone wanting "to get into games", like it was so easy you would master it simply by applying (after all, how hard can it be once you have mastered movies? right?), I just know the end result will be forgettable, at best.
