What do Steven Spielberg, John Woo, Peter Jackson, and now Jerry Bruckheimer have in common? Well not only are they tremendous television and film directors, but they are part of the growing list of Hollywood talent whom finds interest in the videogame industry.
Indeed, Mr. Bruckheimer is the new dog as reports show that he is joining forces with MTV games to create new IPs that will soon be released as videogames.
"Video games represent a new and innovative medium for what we’ve always tried to do, which is to tell great stories. But this medium is unique in that it gives the player control over how those stories unfold," Bruckheimer said.
"I look forward to working with MTV Games to create new original game stories, always looking for ways to innovate the medium."
Jeff Yapp, MTV Executive VP added that the content brought to the table by Bruckheimer, will be viewed as something more than your conventional videogame, hinting at possible industry innovation.
It appears as if we will be in for a treat when these titles come of age. As the videogame industry progresses further into the 21st century, many outside industries such as music and movies is starting to take notice of the capital worth in the games industry. In the films world, Bruckheimer has been the man behind greats such as Top Gun, Armageddon, Black Hawk Down, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
