James Cameron to Make More Games with Ubisoft?
James Cameron is apparently exploring the option of making more games with Ubisoft after they developed and published Avatar: The Game back in December.
“I’ve got a lot of stories, and I don’t have enough time to make them all as movies. That’s something I’m exploring with Ubisoft to see if maybe’s a relationship around just getting these stories and world ideas into games, just completely independent of movies. You know, good ideas and visuals are exactly that.”
At first I was a bit upset that Cameron was using videogames as his fallback medium, because I took that as him viewing games inferior to film. But the more I think about it, the more I realize film is just the medium he loves and has loved for the thirty years he’s been involved with it. That being said, I think it’s great for a filmmaker of his caliber to be so enthusiastic about videogames.
