A more in-depth look at SEE transforming existing movies into Virtual Worlds

NotAdmin · Sep 15, 2011

I stumbled across this news article today, and figured I would repost some of the more interesting bits here:

How are you working with Hollywood creatives (directors, producers) on your movie licenses?
SEE generally seeks individuals that worked on the original IP to utilize as direct consultants to the product being produced. This is following completion of a straight license agreement with the studio. In the past these have been directors, production designers or writers.

What type of gameplay are you developing for these worlds?
The gameplay is very specific and depends heavily on the IP. For example, with Asterix we will focus on adventure, and with Total Recall our focus will be on action but with lighter adventure elements. In general, we take the core themes from the IP and match them to appropriate gameplay.

Will they mirror an MMO experience?
Some will be more traditional MMO style games, while others will be closer to action, resource management or adventure games – but all will contain core MMO experiences.

What will the business model be for these games?
Yes, all our games will be F2P (free-to-play) with micro-transactions.

More and more companies like THQ, EA, Activision and others are getting out of the Hollywood movie licensing business on the console side. Why do you think that is? And is online the way to go?
The audience for games, in general, is far more demanding then ever before. But the love of Hollywood IP remains the same. SEE seeks to combine the best possible platform with these beloved titles to make the perfect mix of recognition and great gameplay.

Sounds like SEE just wanted to cut out the middle man "MA" and create their own MMO with the same idea as EU... or did I read this incorrectly??
