Oscar-winning director John Lasseter is one of the most influential men in Hollywood today. He currently wears multiple hats, including Chief Creative Officer at Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios and Principal Creative Advisor for Walt Disney Imagineering. So when he sees video games as an important part of the future of Disney, that’s a big deal. Lasseter talks about the new Disney Infinity cross-platform game platform in this exclusive video interview below.
George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.
I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.
Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.
I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure
Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.
While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.
After six months of negotiating, Avalanche Studios staff have successfully unionized with a new two-year collective bargaining agreement.
The toys-to-life genre has died out, but the concept of Disney Infinity should live on in another genre since it provides a wild crossover for fans.
PIXAR baby!
RIP Steve Jobs
This DisneyInfinty is crazy man there is going to be endless possiblities with this platform. I know Skylanders in cool, but Disney has awesome characters. To think you can watch a Pixar/Disney film and they can some incorparate some of the story in the game its cool.
