GLAMOUR FACTOR :: NEXT GENERATION CONSOLES
On the next generation of consoles, expected in 2004 or 2005, Animation will become really smooth. With PlayStation 3 we will get life-like stuff. The subtleties that Disney has been doing for years will come to games.
Bruce McMillan, executive vice president of EA's Worldwide Studios said:
"We're going to surpass Hollywood in entertainment value."
But Games still lack one element of the Hollywood lure: GLAMOUR.
As correctly said by Lucas van Grinsven, unlike famous actors, video games stars like Lara Croft do not get $10 million signing fees. And because they don't drink and date, they never make the gossip columns of Hello magazine. The games industry remains a software business with a lot of programmers tweaking codes on powerful workstations. Not exactly the stuff of dreams.
