It was a fun game, but the story itself wasn't the standout part of it to me.
I can see this working as a movie, sounds interesting and they seem to have some real talent involved here. Thumbs up. The game also deserves a sequel, the first one is underrated. It takes a few hours for the game to really open up, I think it's easy to give up too soon with this one and write it off.
I'm down for a movie. For those that rather have a sequel game; well maybe if this movie succeeds Sony will highly consider it.
I would watch.
So the IP isn't good enough for a sequel but they're going to invest several (dozens?) millions on a "zombie" movie. Ok.
Sony doesn't force any of their devs to work on a title or another, so if the studio itself didn't want to pitch a sequel why would Sony go and tell them to do it?
They don't believe its worth a sequel but they will make a movie?
Exactly my thoughts. Sam Witwer is an actor. Not just in video games. He knows his shit. It would be a great choice.
