On The Matrix movies and games:

Movies and video games are two entertaining mediums that share many of the same qualities. They both enthrall the viewer/player with music, atmosphere, characters, and extensive visuals. Both video games and movies are constantly going to new heights, especially in the area of special effects. Often times video games are said to be very similar to movies from the standpoint of the journey you take the characters on, going through all the elements of the plot, but in a video game you actually get to control what happens to a certain degree. A popular way for companies to make money in this day and age is to take a successful movie and turn it into a video game. One such example of this is The Matrix films and the video game Enter The Matrix. I will be examining the differences, similarities, and all of the different types of connections that are found between the game and the movie.

I always found the concept of The Matrix to be impressive, that the world we were living in is just some computer program. It really makes you think. The first film was amazing from all aspects; the special effects, the ideas, and so on and so forth. The following two films decreased in quality and were basically just a display of mind-blowing special effects which almost get to the point of nausea. Then, I believe it was somewhere in between the release of the second and third Matrix film that I heard they were releasing a game based on the movies. My initial reaction was one of utter excitement. After letting this thought boil over in my mind for a few moments, the thoughts of doubt started pouring in. I looked at this from an objective point of view....

Basically what you find in Enter The Matrix is an extreme attempt to make money, even though it does keep the player very entertained. The game explores different scenes and scenarios that are setup in the movie. The game was even written by The Wachowski Brothers who also wrote the movie. So what happens here is that the game becomes an almost integral part to making the films connect. It drags on a story that is already being dragged on. In the game there are specially filmed scenes that are in none of the movies, but included only in the game because it relates to the story integrated by the game. It is a clever move when you think about it, just as was making the following two films. It puts you in a place where you say to yourself, “I can’t believe they are really making this!” yet at the same time you find it so hard to resist watching the films and playing the games.

...

As with the sequels to the original Matrix, Enter The Matrix was an economical ploy that actually ended up having some substance to it, unlike the second and third films in the trilogy. You get the same feeling, the same basic characters, the same concepts, the same effects of everything found in the movie in an original story that branches off from the film. I feel that Enter The Matrix was a successful adaptation from film to game for the most part. You get to indulge in all of the joys of the Matrix and experience all of the thrills and chills too. The game is visually stunning and true hardcore fans of the films will really enjoy the extra footage included in the games that is not shown in the films. I like how I found the video game to be more exciting and suspenseful than both of the sequels. It shows that some games can much more powerful than the films that accompany them.

On Spider-Man 2 and Resident Evil. I really disliked this paper because it was setup really weird. Felt copy and pasted in places:

Movies and video games are tied together in today’s society. We often see movies that are widely popular in the theater that are turned into video games, as well as video games that have been around for years that are made into movies. A couple of examples of these are Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, and The Matrix. When video games are made from movies, there is not much new to be expected from the video game. The reason that I would buy a video game that was a movie at one time would be to play with the character of the movie. I think that this would be a fun adventure: to play through a movie with all that character’s special powers, weapons, etc. When popular video games series are made into movies, a lot should be expected from the movie producers. In the case of Tomb Raider, I believe that the producers of the movie did a great job of depicting the video game series. However, in the case of Resident Evil, I believe that there was a huge aspect of the video game missing from the movie. While the movies may be successful, I would like walking out of the theater wanting to rush to the closest Blockbuster to rent the video game so that I could play it for the first time or for another time.
A video game based off of a movie means that a movie was popular enough to interest video game companies in producing a game. When a video game is based off of a movie, there can be many things that happen. In the case of Minority Report becoming a video game, the graphics suffered because the movie was too large to compress into a game that would have high quality graphics. Some other things that are expected from a video game that is based off of a movie are similarities in plot, having all of the abilities of the characters, etc. When a video game is produced after a movie has been released I believe that the video game designers cannot put in extra parts to the game. The job of the video game designers is to make a replica of the movie so that gamers can play as the main character in the movie and repeat many of the same actions. Focusing on making the game much like the movie, the people behind the video game cannot work to create new twists in plot, new story developments, or new characters.
One excellent example of how video games made about movies are successful is Activision’s Spider-Man 2. Here, the game designers took the plot of a movie and put it into the game. There are many features of this game that I enjoyed such as the use of the game’s characters in the cut scenes (not the actual scene from the movie) and the fully-explorable game world. I bought the game knowing that I was going to get to play as Spider-Man, using his special powers to help stop crime and explore New York City. I think that one of the most entertaining things in this game is to swing around the entire city as fast as possible doing random, crime-fighting side quests along the way.
On the other hand is a movie that is based off of a game. In this case, the movie can do a number of things in relation to the game. The movie can recreate the video game and have the same plot, create a whole new story and expand on the game, or continue where the game left off using the writer’s ideas. A movie that simply recreates a video game would not be very successful because not many people would want to pay to see a movie about the same thing they have already done. Making a whole new story is what happened with Resident Evil when compared to the video game series. I have never read a story as to how Raccoon City became infected by the disease which caused people to become blood-thirsty zombies, and so I think that the movie was an idea for how the virus was created and released. According to filmcritic.com’s Annette Cardwell, “[T]he plot isn’t just repurposed story from the game … [it] is a prequel to the first game, setting up the tragic events of fabled Raccoon City, beginning in the underground experimental lab of … Umbrella” (Cardwell 1).
During the rest of Cardwell’s review, she discusses how she thought the movie could have been more like the game and what she expected from the movie. Cardwell talked about how the movie should have included better-looking zombies and better computer animation to make the movie more of a horror film (Cardwell 1). She also expected “slow-mo scenes of zombies being torn apart by machine gun fire” (Cardwell 1). She further explains her ideas: “I wanted dark shadows and suspense. I didn’t get any of these things. And I’m sure the games’ fans will be let down that they don’t get those essentials either” (Cardwell 1). After reading her review, I felt like I heard my thoughts put into words by someone else. I was thinking these exact thoughts but I was only able to say that the movie was not as much like the video game like it should have been.
Video games that are made from movies can be very successful as seen with Activision’s Spider-Man 2; however, movies that are made from video games are not usually as successful. I believe that this is due to the fact that not a lot of people would like to see something they have already experienced, but they would rather experience a movie after they have seen it. As in the case with Resident Evil, the movie, versus the popular video game series from the past couple of years, I think that the movie was successful in creating a new story for the game, but unsuccessful in depicting the game in the movie. I was expecting much more from the fighting scenes in the movie. Instead of seeing undead zombies exploding into a pool of blood, I saw a couple of zombies get barraged with bullets and a lot of scenes only showing the characters shooting. The movie was also not as scary as the game, which was very disappointing to me.

The following are posts on the class discussion board. Assignment was to examine a website:

The website i am exploring is ign.com

For the most part the site is mostly about games, there is one picture advertising things on every page but other than that it is mostly focused on the games on the site.

...

There are hyperlinks to other gaming sites that would help my cause, but there are also hyperlinks to a couple sites that are trying to sell you things as well. Its mostly hyperlinks to gaming sites though, and the ones that aren't gaming sites clearly show you where they are taking you.

The information in the site is parallel. There are previews, reviews, cheat guides for all different types of games. They didn't really make any one aspect of the site more important than the others.

...

I think this site is very credible because it is a big name site not a small personal one.

I think this site will be very useful for my paper because it gives reviews to the older versions of madden as well as the new one.

This website includes previews, reviews, discussion boards, and interviews

The website I chose is http://www.ffshrine.org/, more specifically the Final Fantasy VII section, since I will be writing my research essay on how FFVII is a story about redemption from sin. This site seems quite credible as it references official press releases, major video games news sites, as well as in game info in its theories about Final Fantasy VII

My personal favorite:

www.ign.com

IGN has a lot of reviews, previews, guides, etc. They also have a lot of media pages with pictures, movies, and information on games. The site is meant to be a source for information on console games as well as computer games. There are different 'channels' where IGN discusses different video games. There is a lot more than just video game reviews, however. Information on upcoming events of video games, as well as new developments are provided in a news story form. I believe that this site is very professional and has a very flashy look to it. I think it appeals to gamers of all ages and those who play all consoles.

There is a vast majority of the site that is only available to the IGN Insider subscribers, those who pay a certain amount per month for a magazine and more pages on this internet site. There are a lot of media pages with many pictures, video clips, interviews, and previews of video games. Most of these pages can be easily contorlled with the navigation buttons or by opening new windows.

...

The site has a parallel structure and is extremely massive. There are still thousands of reviews and previews for systems such as the gameboy, as well as new pages developed for the new PSP.

The site is very easy to navigate to and from the different channels. There is a link bar at the side where you can even go to a site about girls and cars instead of video games.

I believe this particular site is extremely credible. This is basically the CNN of video games.

I hope that I can find an article here that deals with my area of interest in online video games. There are also discussion boards that I might be able to use throughout my research.

 

[BreakyBoy]

This is basically the CNN of video games.

BRILLIANT!

 

[Gazunta]

On another forum some guy posted a GTAIII review where the reviewer was orgasming over it and comparing it to PACMAN. The man had no conception of anything that had happened between Pac man freaking fever and GTA III.

Funny thing is GTA was originally designed to be "Pacman with cars"

Writing about video games class...wow, times have changed. Wonder if there's a "chasing up long lost freelance check" class or a "how to sell your review copies on ebay without getting busted by the PR people" class, too?

 

[Ironclad]

:lol @ E4 comment.

I've run into some people who think they know everything about video games. My opinons always tend to differ from theirs so I never even try to argue with them. As you can imagine, they have the most conformistic taste in video games and they think they know more than you. Then when you try to argue with them, they call you biased. :lol

 

[Fafalada]

How old are the people in this class? :\ (in reference to their "writting" skills, not the funny arguments).

You have to introduce the students to the writing of Peter Olafson, In my mind he's one of the great video game writers of our time.

He's been writing about video games for decades.

In the late ninetys he did some very personal and forward-thinking writing in the Game Theory column in the New York Times.

I had the pleasure of briefly publishing a couple of his stories at Robotstreetgang , when I bothered to keep that site up to date.

He's currently working on a book collecting his writings -- here's one of the few remaining examples of his work, a review of the game Alien Ressurection.

 

[tetsuoxb]

Agent Dormer - I hate to say it, but FSU is not necessarily known as the great paragon of human intelligence.

Especially in liberal arts, I think they are a fair amount behind UF. The class that discusses games at UF (which is actually a class on Japanese Mass Media) is taught by a professor who actually knows a fair amount about games. Now, he is a pretensious prick who got owned by me a few times on pre-modern Japanese history in his Japanese culture class, but at least he has a grasp for the subject matter.

Im not trying to take the piss out of FSU, I think their fine arts and law programs are great.... however, for journalism and or liberal arts, they aren't quite there yet.

I believe I have one or two Strategy Guides by Olafson. Is that possible?

Extremely possible.

 

[TekunoRobby]

:lol And to think this is happening quite close to me.

I'm currently going through the videogame courses and I'm extremely sad that not one person (aside from me) has any real clue about the history of videogames. Arrrg. I've had to bring in my books to edumacate the teacher and the class, oh well it's fun inspiring minds with new found knowledge.

I'd say the class has the combine intelligence of a single junior member. It's pretty bad.

 

[mosaic]

I don't see how you can stand it.

I no longer admit in public that I write about games; not even to relatives. Every time I do, someone makes a big deal of it or goes off on some mindnumbing tangent about a game or piece of hardware that is so far out of my realm of caring that it makes my eyes water. "My son loves Final Fantasy." Good for him. "Can you help my son / nephew get into that? He'd be great at writing about games." (Then you find out the kid is 14, is getting a D in English, and the only negative adjective he knows is "gay")

Or, good God, the relatives that want me to send them magazines, games, etc., because they think I have boxes of stuff just sitting here. Hope my cousin enjoys that copy of Thunderbirds for GBA. Choke on it.

And then THEIR eyes glaze over when I try to explain the drawbacks to freelancing -- the litany of trying to cajole PR people, the long wait between invoicing and a check (and sometimes the check not coming), the fact that "writing about games" doesn't not equal "playing all the good games." (See: Thunderbirds GBA)

Other things I've learned not to do: mention E3 in a game shop, speak to game shop employees about anything other than the details of my purchase, discuss games with friends in public areas, etc.

One thing I will say -- Gaz is right. That class needs a few days spent on the administrative ins and outs of the gig. Because unless you get on staff someplace, you're going to be dealing with invoices, poorly run accounts departments, and getting completely bent over by the IRS. It's no wonder that the majority of game writers segue into development or PR...

 

[Jonnyboy117]

In its defense, E4 is one better.

You sit on couches and are fed grapes while the games come to you.

How is that different from E3, exactly?

Hahaha, all true. Here's another one:

The friend who knows you write about games and himself knows more than the average gamer, but insists on asking you questions endlessly whenever you see him and finds it impossible to have a conversation with you about anything other than games.

As for game shops, I try to get in and out as quickly as possible. Usually I ask for a game and they're like "Are you sure you want the GameCube version?" or "Really, I thought that game looked terrible..." Thanks for the advice, jack-off, but I know wtf I'm doing. Gamers in my town are so ignorant, I had to pre-order Katamari Damacy just so the store would get a copy from the distributor. I was the only person to buy it the week it came out, and I'm probably still one of the few guys in town who owns it.

Oh, I know, good sir. Had I known UF offered the gaming culture courses under the English department, I might have gone there instead. Also, were are not quite there with journalism because we don't offer it as a major, heh.

Exact same guy. His Morrowind guide may have been the last one he's worked on.

 

[MC Safety]

How is that different from E3, exactly?

Last I checked, I only got to sit on the couches after walking 350 miles give or take; navigating through a sea of rubenesque game clerks clogging the halls, the corridors, and the concession areas; being deafened by confllicting decibel blasts from competing game publishers; and then made to stare in awe-filled reverance at the PR booth, access to such made impossible by a wall of game fans eager to get whatever small tchotchke or bauble the company is doling out.

Oh, and the grapes are there, but they're hardly ever fed to me. I mean, come on!

 

[monkeyrun]

Student A: "So, I hooked up my computer to my Xbox and I download games. I don't pay for any of them."
Me: "I don't pay for my games, either."
Student A: "Hell yeah, man. Go piracy."

lol about time to call the police

 

[impirius]

The game was even written by The Wachowski Brothers who also wrote the movie. So what happens here is that the game becomes an almost integral part to making the films connect. It drags on a story that is already being dragged on.

A++++ Would Read Again

"Movies and video games are two entertaining mediums..."

Thanks. I didn't realize those media were for entertainment.

"They both enthrall the viewer/player with music, atmosphere, characters, and extensive visuals. Both video games and movies are constantly going to new heights, especially in the area of special effects."

These sentences should be juxtaposed. Or, perferably, deleted completely. 'Uhhh, they look great, these two mediums, they're really fantastic, and look better than anything. They especially work hard at looking better than anything.'

"It really makes you think."

You don't make anybody think.

"So what happens here is that the game becomes an almost integral part to making the films connect. It drags on a story that is already being dragged on."

That's deep, dude. I"ll let you go on that one.

"As with the sequels to the original Matrix, Enter The Matrix was an economical ploy that actually ended up having some substance to it, unlike the second and third films in the trilogy."

Economical ploy? Shit, dude, that's deep. Fuckin' with the stock market or some shit, dude.

"...true hardcore fans of the films will really enjoy the extra footage included in the games that is not shown in the films."

I got some comments back on my paper tonight. One of them commented on my vocabulary that was suited for "a final paper." But added that the fact I didn't use a source made it seem like my work my be stolen.
