LOS ANGELES – Jon Landau was a keynote speaker at the inaugural 3D Gaming Summit. The producer who ushered in this new phenomenon of 3D in theaters and on game consoles talked about the future of 3D in Hollywood and in videogames. Outside of the ballroom, Ubisoft's Avatar videogame was playing on 3D TVs from Panasonic and 3D monitors running on NVIDIA's 3D Vision technology. Landau believes 3D gaming is here to stay – something Sony is betting on with its recent free firmwhere upgrade for 3D games on PlayStation 3.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

Anyone know the strain that 3D has on your eyes? Anyone looking into it? because if they are not, That's mental.
Ever since I went to see Back To The Future 2 as a kid I've looked forward to the day that a giant 3D Jaws hologram would try and take a bite outta me :D
I know 3D is not exactly the same thing but it's a step closer, thats how technology advances and any step forward is fantastic in my eyes. I really enjoyed Avatar at the IMAX, the 3D really brought Pandora to life for me and to implement the same immersion in games just seems like a setup for a massive win.
@shiftycoot I think 3D TVs will become affordable (to most people) a lot sooner than you think. There's only one brand of 3DTVs available in the UK at the minute and they retail at around £1500/1700 dependant on size.

I was expecting the first wave to be much higher priced, which is a good indication that when competition enters the market this summer, in the form of Sony, Panasonic, LG and probably others, the prices should drop dramatically.
Edit: lol in the time it took me to write this comment Shiftycoot let his little fanboy slip out (not a euphemism... hopefully) so I now regret wasting my time replying to him.
