INVOLUCRADO

Hasta la médula. Me refiero a Peter Jackson con el juego de King Kong.

Peter Jackson, famed director of the Lord of The Rings series is now working on a King Kong remake, and according to reports at actiontrip, he's become so frustrated at EA game's lack of co-operation on the accompanying game that he's given the project to Ubisoft instead. The fact that EA sucks isn't very surprising: Jackson just learned what most gamers (and EA employees) already know: EA ain't a great place to do business with. The company is renowned in gaming circles for being the exact opposite of innovative: using old-fashioned and often downright antiquated control schemes and game design is status quo for them. But what finally caused the split?

Take a look at this quote from the article, which quotes Poix at Ubisoft: "Jackson was insistent that "Everything on the screen had to be in that world," according to Poix - so no health meters and the like; instead, the screen goes red each time you're attacked. Jackson also came up with the idea of supplying the player with ammo by having an airplane dropping it from overhead, along with various other concepts which he conveyed to the team via regular email contact throughout the game's development."Sounds like Jackson wanted a creative and original game. No wonder EA wouldn't co-operate.


Les recuerdo que lo programan los mismos que el magnífico "Beyond Good & Evil". Mi juego más esperado del momento.
