French outfit Infogrames has announced that it has won the rights to make a game based on the massively anticipated upcoming action movie Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
"There's no bigger action hero than The Terminator and our games will live up to the legend," said Bruno Bonnell, Chairman and CEO of Infogrames, who might benefit from actually watching the movie before passing comment. "Video games and the motion pictures, the most popular forms of entertainment worldwide, are more closely connected than ever before and we are thrilled to be adding this enormously successful franchise to our growing Hollywood line up."
Interestingly, we can also reveal that subject to certain conditions, Infogrames also has the rights to Terminator’s fourth outing, whatever that might be.
Let’s just hope that this license gets the treatment it deserves and doesn’t suffer the fate of so many others that have preceded it. A marketeer deciding that “some sort of generic 3D action game” would suit is not the way forward for the videogames industry.
