That was a pretty waffly article, but right in there in the middle of it all he speaks a fair bit of sense.
@Ranger101 That would vary from company to company. But a summary of production is making sure that everyone has what they need to do their job, at the time they need to do it, so that the end product gets made on time and to budget. |

This would all be fine if you had a star that at least bothered with the content he was contracted to supply, Vin didn't show up for at least 5 VO recording sessions for Wheelman at a dev cost, they still had to pay the recording studio fees every time his agent assured the dev team he'd "show this time".
Tigon is probably one of the worst examples because Vin gives a zero f**K about his obligations when he should be more concerned about his image and his lack of status in Hollywood. When you have a star that decides to rewrite the VO script as soon as he turns up to record his lines you sit around going...WTF? Hollywood and Videogames can only co-exist when everyone is on the same page and not sitting around Willy waving about who's got more to say. |

The problem with any tie in game is that they have to spend the game budget on getting the rights to the IP, therefore the money that would of gone into making the game has to go elsewhere. Which means that every movie tie in game will never be as good as it could of been. That's not to say that every movie tie in game will be bad, just that they could of been better.

That is a very good point 'dsmx', most of the problems i think personally are down to time the best game developers out there are very much from the 'when its done' school of thought. Blizzard being a classic example as much as you may love or hate there work they will never release something they dont believe is readya nother example could be valve.
The list goes on basically this will never happen for those working to deadlines for releases of films so basic mistakes are made whether that be a wonky camera unbalanced enemies etc. |

Ghostbusters and Wolverine were really good movie games, so it can be done, it depends on who is doing it.

Sharzam- depends on the developer. ''When it's done'' didn't really work out for 3D realms for example.

@Sharzam
Both the companies you list as having a "when its done" attitude also have the bank balance to go with it. When every single day costs money, most devs simply can't afford to say "when its done". Its not about attitude. |
