Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[RIDDICK]

I don't think parents are to blame.

They are, unfortunately.
Either letting their kid play a game he's not suppose to or crying against the whole industry as being the violence educator.

Videogames as a whole are less impactful because people are less likely to repeat the experience (play again) than they are to watch a movie a second time. I'm a parent, I love Video Games, just wish I had time to play them, it's much easier for me to pop in a favorite movie than to play a game again.

There's an issue where playing a videogame all the way through requires a lot of time and energy. Most who play games don't finish them, and you don't get the full experience, which for good and bad affects perceptions. Movies are relatively short, and don't take a lot of energy to get into for the most part.

That's one thing I didn't think of...
Good points.

Games deserved to hold the same value as movies.
Stupid parents and misunderstanding of the market is what holds that from being realized.

It depends what you mean by "same value".
I'm a gamer, love games. But they are a completely different thing than movies.

Some strive to be cinematic like movies, but it's a completely different thing.
Acting, script and cinematography are not natural in video games. Again some strive to achieve these things but always with some contrivance to include the player.

And they are not live action but animated.

They are just not comparable as forms of media.
And what's my mother got to do with it?

Well if it was it would be the worst title yet.

Yep, that's the name of the film. I thought the force was awaken in episode 4 already though...

I'm guessing this thread will go into meltdown when the name of the title is revealed. Whether that's a good or bad thing...

The title is fine.

Do you guys NOT remember the s-storm that came when "The Phantom Menace" title was announced? And "Attack of the Clones" for that matter?

Better than "Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice"

So, there's that.

I don't mind it as a title. It's not very action packed though. Anyways, title doesn't matter. It's what follows the title I am concerned with.

Got to start practicing my abbreviations: FAT... cap.... FTA.... nope... erm, ATF....

Maybe since Lucas killed the force with the prequels, the force is now awake?

At least it's not THE MIDICHOLORIANS AWAKE!

The title reveal would have worked better with a character poster. Show Daisy with a lightsaber and a silhouette of Luke

I like that title better than The Ancient Fear. As far as the first trailer I would have pegged Avengers to have it attached to. But I guess if they want it out sooner makes sense it would be Hunger Games or something like that.
