Gaming News - August 2005
Guildford, UK (August 31, 2005) - Lionhead Studios and Activision
announced today The Movies Online, a community website where gamers can upload
and share their motion pictures created with The Movies.
From Lionhead Studios:
Located at www.themoviesgame.com, the site will launch a virtual film
festival for aspiring film-makers when the game ships this fall. Members of the
site will also find a host of competitions, Awards Ceremonies, a Prop Shop and
additional downloads that will help extend their gaming experience with The
Movies.
One of the features that is unique to The Movies, is that you can make your very
own films. With over 7000 scenes, 45 sets and countless costume combinations,
Lionhead Studios is expecting to be flooded by a whole host of varied and
entertaining motion pictures by all those would-be film directors out there.
The Movies Online has been designed so that gamers get an extra dimension to the
game. Every uploaded movie will be given its very own movie page where gamers
will be able to post their ratings and comments! The Movies Online and The
Movies are connected by an interface that allows players to upload movies from
within the game, see which movies they’ve already uploaded and track their
success online!
People will also be given their own unique Studio page, where they will be able
to upload the movies they have created. Each movie uploaded to their Studio page
will feature its own sub page and will function as a hub for all visitors to
view these cinematic creations and post their comments and scores.
Players that show the most promise and receive the highest ratings will soon
find that their reputation grows very quickly. What's more, the better their
reputation becomes the more virtual online credits they'll earn to buy new
upgrades and extra content to help make their movie-making experiences more
enjoyable than ever!
