I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous, at least the TombRaider games had a modicum of story to them, how the hell can you make a film based on CT???
What next? Tetris: The Movie?
Does anyone else think this is starting to go a bit far now?
There's French Connection, Bullit, and Ronin. Herbie doesn't even get a mention. Interestingly, ALL three used double cut editing so you can see the same scene twice from different angles, which is very annoying, you'd think they'd credit us with a bit more intelligence as an audience, wouldn't you?
Best all time driving sequences in a game HAVE to be either from Driver or TOCA 2, where you can actually edit and playback some of your greatest moments and make them into a film. This feature in Driver particularly made it a very playable game, and this 'be a director' feature should be used more in other genres, not just sports/driving games.
The studio paid once they realised the footage they had was...intense.
And what's more, it's real.
They couldnt get permission to film, so the director got in the back, stunt driver in front and a couple of cameras attached to the car.
And they did it for real.
The people you see diving out of the way, the other cars just being missed...those are just genuine people, not actors.
Stunning to watch when you know it was done live.
Already been done mate.
Or The Cannonball Run
