Of course, he wouldn’t say that, he’d probably say something like “smells like a BBQ.” However, the truth is, with the cinematic tools in the upcoming PS3 game “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves” the hero can say anything you want. Any concoction of events that you can dream up in the dream world can be created cinema mode included in the game, which is nothing short of revolutionary for machinima design and filmmaking. So in this situation instead of throwing that canister, he could just sit there and quote Shakespeare, not that exciting, but hey mixing genres can be thrilling.
Machinima, or the creation or the use of video game engines is slowly becoming a serious form of filmmaking. Just earlier this year, Warner Brothers produced their first machinima series based around the “Terminator: Salvation” video game. And now with the impending release of “Uncharted 2,” game developer Naughty Dog has worked with website Machinima.com to have the most detailed creation tool ever. According to Naughty Dog, the two parties worked together to make sure the game was locked and loaded with all the essential tools that machinima makers wished they had in other games.
It is clear the developers are putting a great deal of time and effort into the mode, and with the ability to rapidly upload movies, a new community will no doubt form around the game. Since the game is running on the PS3, the graphics are incredible, just as good as many popular CGI movies, well maybe not Avatar but definitely better than Beowulf. The game has one numerous pre-release awards, and is slated to a be a major title for the holiday season. Perhaps soon, little Johnny will transfer his love of icing villains in creatives ways in a a video games, to actually making something to show his friends. I’m not sure if Hollywood is trembling in their boots yet with dreams of machinima taking over, but they probably are starting to feel the tremors.
