Most heartening thing I’ve read today
Posted: June 9th, 2003 | 3 Comments »From HomeLan Fed’s interview with Gabe Newell, head of Valve, the team behind possibly the most eagerly-anticipated game of all time:
HomeLAN - Last year, the demo of Doom 3 at E3 got id Software a film deal for the game. Is there renewewed interest in a Half-Life movie thanks to this year’s E3 demo?
Gabe Newell - There have been multiple offers to do a movie based on Half-Life which we have turned down. This has accelerated after E3. I could go on for hours talking about IP management and the media business, but the simple answer is that we don’t want to make a Half-Life movie until we know how it can be as good a movie as Half-Life was as a game.
You seem to have forgotten Resident Evil.
Interestingly, Games Workshop have exactly the same perspective on their IPs, Warhammer and Warhammer 40K. They get movie-deal offers all the time, but until they get one that’s absolutely faithful to their IP and gives them a degree of involvement and approval over script and art-direction, they’re happy to live without.
Only whores write Linux server apps but no Linux clients.
At least the HALO creators chose to stay clear from such ambiguity.
Hope HL2 creators fry in their own lard.
