Shadows of the Damned director working on movie-length game

so, an interactive movie. because they're so exciting.

isn't one of the most important things about a game that it has replay value (relative to a movie)?

So it'll be between and hour and half and three hours?

I'd rather stick to something free.

better only cost 5 bucks.

*hour

Thanks for removing the edit button, Gamespot :)

A 2 year version of Heavy Rain? Sounds only slightly less boring.

Yeah, right, and I'm going to pay full price for a game that lasts 118 minutes.

If you're going to make a "movie length" game then release it as a movie on dvd/bluray or download.

Good luck with that.

I don't care how long the game is, I just want a good game.

Sounds interesting lets hope the final product live up to all this "words".

I deal with bitchy, miserable women on a daily basis. I don't need anymore 'emotional challenges' thanks lol

I think he played Journey.

"packaged in a movie-length time frame, and [i]possibly[/i] sold at a reasonable price"

nice key word right there.... you know, just incase they feel like charging a silly amount.

"Beauty is only skin deep and that B**** ain't got no skin."

What's wrong with making a 40+ hour that has a "rich emotional experience"?

"and possibly sold at a reasonable price."

Why does this make me think of a game that will only be two hours because you're supposed to play through it multiple times, but still cost at least $50.....

movie length max is 3 hours, i play arcade games more than that

Movie length? But what will differentiate it from other modern action games?

Movie length game, 1.5 to 2 hours, that game better be 10 bucks or less.

I'd like a 40-hour game.

Traditional 40 hour game? Rich, considering most of his titles are short as hell.

Wait, so it's a 90 minute game? Sounds pretty short to me.

A movie-length game? This was already done before. It was called the "Resident Evil playthrough to unlock the Rocket Launcher", which takes about 2 hours.

i was hoping for shadows of the damned 2 game

I love the..."and *POSSIBLY* sold at a reasonable price," lol.

@Norrie91 @pspman1997 Soo, Heavy Rain?

I thought this was going to be another call of duty news post when I saw the words "movie-length game"

If it's a movie length game he better expect people to only pay movie ticket prices for it

Movie Length Game?

Goes to show this guy hasn't paid attention to people complaing that Single Player Games are NOT long enough and is taking the f***ing pi*s.

A 2 hour game? No Thanks.

I'm liking the sound of that "reasonable price" bit....

If it's anything like Journey or Flower, it'll be the one of the best games ever made. Length should be the last thing taken into account while reviewing games. While games like Shadow of the Colossus, ICO, Journey and Flower are short, but endlessly amazing the entire time and some of the greatest games ever, some games are 15-30 hours long and just feel repetitive.

I love the direction this guy is going. Liberalizing game development is exactly what the industry needs right now... the traditional path isn't going anywhere.

I'm very interested to see how this will work. Can they give me a movie quality story/experience while also putting in actual gameplay all within a 2 hour time frame? It's hard to imagine.

Will this be a movie with gameplay, or just a short game with a story?

One of the biggest problems with games today is how short they are and he wants to make them shorter? Lame. There are already short games sold at reasonable prices on Live and PSN anyway.

As long as you don't charge me the price of a game with a 40 hour long campaign then I'm cool with it
