Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/awesome interactive movie project

hi there,

just discovered that one: http://www.survivetheoutbreak.com

wish they'd make a complete fulllength dvd out of that. this is one of the coolest things i've seen for some time! plus: its a zombie-movie :D

would you buy such interactive movies as dvd? do you know any other such movies?

Psychic Detective (PSX) is the best interactive movie I've ever played... this one has an annoying chick.

EDIT : Atmosfear and Khufu also make fantastic boardgames. Yes, I do like a *good* interactive movie type thing and think the only reason why the genre died in the first place is because so many of them are completely naff.

cool ! :)

This is awesome, but it's annoying me already with the subliminal morality implied.

-The dumb annoying chick seems to be the one who's right about everything.
-The badass guy who wants to kill the infected old guy is shown to be a doofus.

Why is this stuff always so predictable? I want to see a movie for once where the indignant chick has mercy on someone and gets eaten because of it.

Christ, she just hurt herself. I want an option to shoot this chick. I know I am supposed to take her with me, but I want to just leave the bimbo to die.

Okay, that was good. I am glad there was a little unpredictability. And you get a hotter girlfriend in the end.

It's got very good productional values, but it's a bit too short. The idea of doing via web what's has been done on DVD players is great (and could actually work and become popular this time around).

If you're looking at a brutal (and in somewhat more realistic) psychological development of the characters, you should try The Cube. Otherwise, the best choices around are probably Planet Terror (which, despite being exploitational about b-movies, actually came off with a better plot development than recent 'serious' horrors), and Shaun of the Dead [name edited] (which despite being a comedy, in my opinion it's also one of the rare movies to capture the feeling of the original Romero trilogy).

Anyway, zombie movies are not always so predictable, probably because these have been done so many times that writers try the less obvious choices. However, it's hard to find credible development in such movies, or credible documentary-like acting at all.

You could say the same about today's games... however, today's commercial games are more oriented toward teenagers while at least interactive movies were pointed toward a more mature audience, albeit failing miserably at times. Today's games are enjoyable by adults too, but mostly with laughable plot lines and repetitive non plausible gameplay mechanics (I'm mostly talking about adventures of course, but I would trade Aces of the Galaxy for Rebel Assault 2 or Novastorm any day).

A fine example? The first X-Files (1998) was a well-written and well acted first person adventure/interactive movie, very good in every respect and superior to most current adventure games.

The second one for PSX (2004), six years later, is a Resident Evil clone with 3D characters reminiscent to Robot Chicken in their expressiveness and animations (and just tell me why a FBI agent would shoot to death in a resident evil fashion the first woman which comes against him in a bar with no reason at all and without a glimpse of surprise afterwards, as you can see in this walkthrough). But probably they were trying to line up with the quality of the recent movie...

I tried it on firefox and clicked around the page but nothing happened

...and Dawn of the Dead (which despite being a comedy...

???
Did you mean "Shaun of the Dead"?

Simon Pegg is excellent!

there was an 80's zombie comedy whose name i always get mixed up with the more serious zombie movies, in it they 'killed' the same zombie a dozzen or so times, each time he was dressed differently iir the last death he was dressed as jacksons thriller

using CB they hear
"come to the hospital, its safe at the hospital"
bit of internal bickering then
"whos the president?"
"erm, harry truman"
"lets not go to the hospital"

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Did you mean "Shaun of the Dead"?

Whoops, my fault, I was thinking about Romero and wrote the wrong title XD Simon Pegg did an excellent job on Hot Fuzz too :)

Nice quality but regarding reasonable decisions it's even worse than bad adventures were you also could die.
