Are Video Games Killing Cinema? [S01E02]
from Grumpy Old Gamer
Al, Ian, and Tim dive into the $184 billion gaming industry versus Hollywood's measly $42 billion box office, discovering that respect for source material apparently took 30 years to figure out. This episode covers why early 90s game adaptations were universally terrible, whether TV shows work better than movies for adaptations, and Tim's inexplicable excitement for Battlefield 6 despite it being a obvious reskin. The discussion meanders through GoldenEye's perfection, Spider-Man 2's web-swinging physics, and Al's controversial Uncharted movie defence before concluding that movies might become extinct because gamers have longer attention spans than expected. Audio quality remains questionable as three middle-aged men argue about Karl Urban's casting choices while completely forgetting this was supposed to be about video games and movies.https://gog.fmhttps://gog.fm/bloghttps://gog.fm/discordhttps://gog.fm/twitchhttps://gog.fm/steamhttps://gog.fm/facebookhttps://gog.fm/twitterhttps://gog.fm/bskyhttps://gog.fm/instagramhttps://gog.fm/threads
