Kotick Itching to Sell Cutscenes As Films
- Thread starter Tom Goldman

He thinks it's going to sell? :/
Is he mentally challenged? Actually that's just a fact by now.
But seriously this will never go through and Blizzard would have to spend a few years to fill up those other 50 minutes with CGI movies. Because Starcraft 2 didn't have that many CGI cut scenes. Unless now Kotick is talking about all the in game cut scenes which explains the story with the in game graphics.
But if Blizzard where to make over 1 hour of CGI in their game then that would be awesome. Going to a cinema for it is just stupid.

There's a certain purity of purpose behind planning out a product that caters exclusively to those people with no self control. It's almost commendable. I mean, it's sheer exploitation, but I don't have to buy it, and won't be effected. Tell you what Bobby, if extra profits increase your revenue, can you encourage sales by lowering prices? Do that, I give you the thumbs up. Maybe it's exploitative, but it at least is voluntary exploitation.
Wow, that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
He obviously doesn't realize why cut-scenes exist. They exist to complement the game-play. Without the cut-scenes, the game-play is pointless and confusing, without the game-play, the cut-scenes are just confusing.
They need each other, you can't separate the two and still make it work. Not directly at least.

I call bullshit on this one. This is the worst idea ever. aside from the twilight series being made into movies(or being allowed to exist altogether) and making Eragon into a movie.
The cost is the one thing that baffles me more than anything else. I mean, at some point people will just go, "screw that" and look them up on the internet.
This. The way he worded it was that the games would no longer have cutscenes. If it was anyone else I'd brush past it and just assume they meant to simply make a movie out of it, Kotick however...EcksTeaSea said:
Other than that, assuming the cutscenes were beefed up properly, and a proper story was involved, this could actually be a good idea. It removes the annoying Hollywood interpretation part of the equation which normally ruins it.
And sony was itching to sell UMD films at 2X a pop...and that went over well..... if they were 10$ or cheaper it would do well and sell across genres and demographics a shame they don't want to sell across genres and demographics .....................
Ya but for 2X a shot? I don't think so....Aesthetical Quietus said:
Why not just make games that play themselves they have been dumbed down so much, finish the circle your journey to the dark side is complete!
Brilliant. The Starcraft 2 cutscenes would make SOOOOOOOO much sense without the rest of the game...
I remember buying the Diablo II Collector's Edition, which had a separate dvd with all the in-game cinematics. I didn't mind it as part a collector's Edition but i would never ever spend money solely for the cinematics alone. They ARE part of the game if done right/good, nothing more...
Oh what have you done?! If Kotick reads this he will be sure to do it also we know he will read it because I'm pretty sure he spends his time googling himself to see what people think of him so he can find new ways to piss them off.Arqus_Zed said:
Btw I can totally blow your idea out of the water, make a game, put only the beginning cinematic in, then make them pay seperately for the gameplay ($40), then for the cinematics ($30), then for the soundtrack ($20) then for the ability to save the game ($8000).
Because obviously in this recession fans are made of money with more disposable income than entire countries.
I want to hurt Kotick.
Seriously though. Go on youtube or play the damn game again. If anyone gives Activision more frigging money for something so ridiculous, considering it would be without the context and atmosphere of the gameplay surrounding the cutscenes, then I will be very sad with the world.
