Re: Hardcore Henry
I'm super skeptical about fps as a movie format, but twitch posted a test reel from this a while back and I gotta grudgingly admit it was kinda fun, enough to get me curious. Not sure how it will work for a feature length tho, 10 mins held my attention, 90 minutes might not.

Re: Hardcore Henry
A lot of FPS games tell their entire story without ever changing viewpoints and manage to tell really engaging stories, I don't see why it couldn't work for a full length movie.

I can see it working as a short, just not sure it will hold my attention for more than like 20-30 mins
But I was thinking that for this to work in any way, they probably need to invent new approaches to staging/filming action because the viewer's POV is so radically different. And that's kinda interesting in itself.

Re: Hardcore Henry
Yeah I'm thinking the novelty of never seeing it before will be enough to sustain interest for an hour and a half.

Re: Hardcore Henry
what they rly need to do is incorporate the bloody face as a health indicator like Doom/Shadow Warrior though
tryna think of notable first person shit and all I can think of is Robocop and the Smack My Bitch Up video. It is cool when it happens

Re: Hardcore Henry
They should release this movie in the virtual reality format.

Bioshock, Deus Ex, Far Cry, Metro, Half-Life....all excellent FPS shooter series with strong storytelling.seagrams hotsauce wrote:really curious as to what FPS games are telling stories that aren't just a collection of the same tropes that have been tossed around for the last decadeTommy Bunz wrote:A lot of FPS games tell their entire story without ever changing viewpoints and manage to tell really engaging stories, I don't see why it couldn't work for a full length movie.
I haven't played Fallout but I'd assume it deserves to be in there too from everything I've heard about it.

Re: Hardcore Henry
Those are all interesting, good games, but apart from HL2 (haven't played metro) none of them are particularly unique or interesting, and even that story is barely perceptible if you're not looking for it. The high end of game stories is usually half-baked non committal bullshit like Infinite
Though I won't be checking this out for the plot anyway, so who cares

Pretty cool and pretty lame at the same time.

Re: Hardcore Henry
i would argue bioshock, and bioshock 3 are two of the best story lines in games ever. the revelation at the end of the third one is enough to raise it far above its competition for creativity in the games realm of fps.
Re: Hardcore Henry
Liked it a lot.
Film was basically a first person throwback to the Crank movies. Sharlito Copley was an awesome wingman. Along with the novelty of the FPS perspective (which really didn't bother me), the plot also had a strong video game vibe; arguably the weakest aspect of the film, and very noticeable when things are slowed down to take a breather. The ultra violence was fucking glorious and put a huge smile on my face. I could do with never hearing Queen's Don't Stop Me Now ever again, though.
