Game/Film on Blu Ray, Co-Dev on PS4?
DreamWorks reveals plans for the future of film-to-game, selling a
movie and a game on a single Blu Ray disc, and the first details on
Shrek 3 for next-gen consoles.
DreamWorks, the thriving movie studio behind Over the Hedge and Shrek,
says it's possible that next-gen Blu Ray discs will house a game and a
film on one retail disc, and that CG assets will be completely shared
between games and films by the time PlayStation 4 turns up.
"There's certainly a chance we'll see Over the Hedge 'the game and
movie' on the same [Blu Ray] disc", Rik Recketal, Head of Licensing for
Dreamworks, told us at a recent event. "Content delivery is changing
and we're thinking about it."
"In terms of whether the same teams will be creating the [graphics]
assets for the game and film, I don't think that'll be this generation,
but definitely the following gen."

well, that's mostly upto Nvidia I guess--will their GPUs be good enough
by 2011-2012 to do decent (even though technically very downgraded)
real-time reproductions of prerendered CG graphics? Even if that
answer is yes, will Sony spring for a state-of-the-art GPU for PS4,
next time? They certainly did NOT with PS3, since RSX is based on
Nvidia technology that is now pretty damn OLD. |
