Games and movies, cinema and gaming, two industries increasingly united but that fail to work well when they merge, or at least not as well as separately. We refer specifically to the film adaptations of video games, an idea carried out many times but usually not very successful. Recently the developer Cinemaware (creator of famous games for the Amiga computer) explained in an interview with PCGameTrek portal in your opinion why this problem occurs for many years.

The company’s founder, Bob Jacob, declares that it is a matter of time. Since a film begins to occur until it opens in theaters about a year passes, completely insufficient time for a game of real quality. The results are clear, dozens of mediocre titles that capitalize the duration of the pull of the film. Apparently the only solution is to involve many people in the project to perform a heavy workload in a short time (as you can Electronic Arts), because otherwise it will create a lot of game, - says Mr. Jacob.

Unfortunately I fear that this argument is true and largely responsible for the mediocrity of many games based on movies. However there are exceptions such as “The Chronicles of Riddick”, but remember that was created by Starbreeze Studios, creators of a true genius gems like “Enclave” or “The Darkness”. Well, we know that the rush is not good but in this business to save time translates into money, even at the expense of losing quality.
