In one of his more honest interviews, movie director Ube Boll has hit out against the internet and gamers who bash his work. In an interview broadcast on Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld by Fox News, Boll was asked how he dealt with gamers who complain about his movies.
He replied: "A lot of video games have no story. I did the movie House of the Dead and got bashed and I said, what were you expecting, Schneider's List? I showed zombies chasing people and this is basically what the movie delivers.
"I don't know what they were expecting if you make a movie based on an eagle shooter where you kill ninety minutes of people non-stop."
Boll also shot down internet critics, saying: "They don't have their own life and they're still sitting at Mommy's table every lunch". To watch the interview in its entirety, go take a look at Red Eye's page and look under the famous faces, where the interview clip can be found (at the time of writing).
Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best games from the PlayStation 2's vast library."
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
No story is better than the crap in his movies.

GFY Uwe. Bloodrayne XII is looking for a director.
You don't know sh1t about any good games and making movies, piss off you tard.
The movie had good actor but you can tell how awful is the Direction of the movie... you just dont have the talent Boll...sorry is just LIFE
I saw a special on one of the Starz channel last night. It was about Hollywood and movies. Interesting. They had Boll on there too. For someone who seems to look down on games you'd think he'd just go off and make other kinds of movies.
Schneider's List?
Is that the ultra-rare German version of Schindler's List?
I've heard it's hard to get ahold of.
Dude...why would he say that? Shadow of the Colossus, Devil May Cry, God of War, Halo, Half-life, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts???
Uwe is such an idiot.
EDIT: Yeah, he does say Schindler in the actual interview though...so, it doesn't seem as funny now.
DANG IT!
