He admits that while this is something of a film director-adjacent position, this will also be new territory for the filmmaker:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post -->\u201cIt comes from a place of bringing directorial skills that would be along the lines of the films that I\u2019ve done before to the aesthetic of the game.<\/p>\n<p>The difference [from directing a film] is not acting like a single point that guides the creative team. It\u2019s making sure that you\u2019re integrated into the team in a real way. I can come in with a very definitive point of view, but it has to work on two levels. It has to be accepted by the greater team as the right creative direction to go in. And it also has to be, first and foremost, something that can integrate into the architecture of gameplay in a way that\u2019s beneficial to the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Though tightlipped on any specific details, including the title of the game, Blomkamp does slightly more than hedge his bets on the setting. It\u2019s familiar territory for fans of his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>: it\u2019s described as \u201cnear future <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/sciencee\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Science\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science<\/a> fiction.\u201d But it won\u2019t have any connections to his previous film work, in case you\u2019re wondering. In terms of games, however, he draws a direct comparison to the Remedy game <em>Control<\/em> (which I personally h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en to be right in the middle of playing these days!) as it pertains to visuals such as environmental details and ray tracing.<\/p>\n<p>Blomkamp also goes a little further on just how his screenwriting experience will play into game development:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Well, the primary thing no matter how you cut it will be player agency and the ability for players to just interact with it in a shooter environment in a way that hopefully is a really, really cool game to them \u2013 which means, in the event of being dropped in and playing, narrative takes a back seat. But if you think of something like Elysium, the amount of forethought to build the world, you may be spending 95% of the time thinking through the worldbuilding in order to get to the 5%, which is the movie that you watch. And I think that you could apply the same sort of mentality where depending on how much backstory and world creation you\u2019re building, you\u2019re going to end up with a more convincing, awesome world to drop the player into. In terms of actual specific narrative, there are also other avenues that players can begin to learn more about things that we\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 --><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-685588 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/halo-live-action-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/halo-live-action-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/halo-live-action-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/halo-live-action-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/halo-live-action.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Been_There_Almost_Done_That\"><\/span>Been There, (Almost) Done That<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Longtime fans and newcomers alike should be aware that this isn\u2019t Neill Blomkamp\u2019s first video game-related rodeo. All indications point to a long flirtation between Blomkamp\u2019s, er, camp and a potential <em>Halo<\/em> movie produced by <strong>Peter Jackson<\/strong>. To the perpetual disappointment of many fans, this project never got off the ground, despite Blomkamp\u2019s direct involvement with some proof-of-concept live action Halo shorts.<\/p>\n<p>On a happy note, this failed attempt led to Jackson and Blomkamp teaming up for the director\u2019s debut with <em>District 9<\/em>. Things certainly worked out, even if Blomkamp has been searching to recapture that lighting-in-a-bottle magic ever since. Perhaps this swerve into video games will be just the creative jumpstart he needs.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
