Inception is a really awesome movie, and I think that Quantic Dream would be the perfect developer to make a game that taps into its universe. They could have lots of interesting gameplay involving navigating through other people's dreams and potentially create some very cool puzzles out of it all, and best of all they have the ability make in-game storytelling feel compelling (even if their actual stories aren't always so hot).

What say you? Should there be an Inception video game, if not by Quantic Dream then by another developer?

Quantiac Dream and interesting gameplay should never be said in the same sentence. :| And Inception looks awesome. I'm planning to see it soon. :D

Movie based games usually turn out bad and some how, some way David Cage will screw up the writing IMO. SO I prefer QD to work on a original IP.

The structure for Inception is too complicated for a video game to replicate. Quantic Dream is great, and they know how to build a story and all, but Inception as a movie would never translate well to a video game.

Quantic Dreams shouldn't even go any where near the master piece that Inception is. There shouldn't even be an Inception game.

That's why instead of making a game out of the Inception movie's script they should write a new story set in that same universe with the same central plot device (shared dreaming).

People will still be talking about Inception 20 years from now.

I honestly think that would be bad idea. Why does every big blockbuster movie have to get a video game? Leave the movies alone for god-sakes.

I don't think you've seen Inception :). Similar to how people still talk about The Matrix, Inception will be relevant for years to come!

When I was watching Inception (which I think issmart, innovative, and mind-bending!), I imagined: "How amazing would it be if this concept--and quality writing / acting-- would be if applied to a video game". I'm not sure if there should be a direct adaptation, but I do believe that Inception is a standard that more movies and games especially should strive for.

If people are still talking about The Matrix it would be how bad the sequels were. And speaking of The Matrix, weren't there some pretty mediocore games made for it? The question of whether or not it will become a ****c still remains to be seen, but it's safe to say that it made forgettable gaming experiences.

What QD should do is Omikron 2 but without all that QTE crap,just like in the first game.

I guess that´s too much to ask though...

The Matrix games aren't too good, and I never was really interested in them. And the games' quality wasn't caused by the Matrix universe itself, but rather the developers. The universe and action can fit so wonderfully as a game if the right people got behind it. But I think the movie is a cIassic. Of course there's talk about the lackluster sequels (more evidence to how the original was awesome), but there's no denying that the Matrix's themes / set-pieces aren't imitated, parodied, and even celebrated :). I would even say it revolutionized action-cinema.

Also, I don't want to see an Inception game. I just want to see an imaginative concept such as it, and the quality of writing / direction be applied to video games. Having an adventure as finely told and beautiful to look at deserves interaction! Only games can provide that.

Movies of games that begin development long after the movie's release have a better chance at being good. Movie tie-in games are what has always had a very hard time being decent. Even with Star Wars the tie in games were mostly crummy, but the franchise has still produced many very solid titles.

Inception would be an open-world shooter, so it's more suited to Rockstar or Volition or someone like that. Or Bioware.

Maybe as a video game the storytelling part could be done a bit better...

Thats because 90% of the time, theyre paired with a crap dev.

The times they were paired with a good dev (Starbreeze studios, Capcom, Rare), theyve turned out to be some of the best so i have no doubt this could work.

But i havent seen Inception yet or tried one of Quantic Dream's games so cant really comment.

You should do both, immediately. :P

Or to be fair, a dev who might be decent or even good, but is not allowed to waste any time thinking about or polishing the game. Movie games aren't meant to be good, they're meant to be as cheap to produce as possible, which is understandable because it's likely that a movie game won't sell very well no matter how good it is.

Ya. I could have watched Inception a while ago but my bro (whos on holiday) asked me to wait for him. Missed about 4 other chances with friends too. If he's not here exactly when he said he will be.......i swear......ill do it. Watch it on my own 8)

Heavy Rains been on my mind since launch but ive just been waiting for the right price. Im not sure whats up with Sony and their 2010 1st party games, they're all still around full price (HR, Modnation, GOW3). Compared to normal games here which are half price a month after launch.

Thats true. And i doubt they can even request more time on a game. If its half done by release, its done.

Oh yeah, time is always the most important factor in that kind of situation. Even developers of "real" games are working under horrible time constraints, so you can imagine how much movie tie-in devs care about polishing or putting effort into this piece of crap that needs to be on a disk, in a case, and on shelves before the movie is out. Must be among the worst projects you can be stuck on as a dev.

I don't think so, Movie Games are usually bad and I think it would be difficult for a developer to make a good game about the film. To tell the great story that the film has and to make the game exciting would be difficult imo.

To be honest the only good movie games are games that are based on the universe of the movie not the movies themselves i.e Escape from Butcher Bay or Starwars: Knights of the Old Republic. The only exception I can think of to this is Goldeneye.

I forgot a studio called Quantic Dreams even existed. Heavy Rain was cool. But please. No more.

I would love for them to do something similar not the same storyline. Inception was really awesome though
