Michael Pachter is at it again, doing what he does best: analyzing stuff in the gaming world. This time, he talks about how Warner Bros. lost a projected US$ 100 million by not coming out with a video game tie-in tforThe Dark Knight.Pachter was quoted by the Associated Press, and a new story was written on the matter. An excerpt from it reads:
Based on the record-breaking success of the movie, Wedbush Morgan video game industry analyst Michael Pachter believes a Dark Knight game released at the same time as the blockbuster film last month could have sold 4 million units and banked $100 million — with $70 million going to the game’s publisher and $30 million going to Warner Bros,
If Pachter is to be believed, the Warner Bros. should be feeling a little salty right about now. If you ask us, the Wedbush Morgan analyst does bring up plenty of valid points.

I mean, I wouldn't have bought it anyway, or rent it, but that was a lot of money they missed out on, no doubt. Think of all the people who have consoles and such, but don't really care much about researching for the games they buy.
Major money right there.

Murdering franchises like transformers, catwoman, iron man and many more by putting out a shoddy game at the same time as the move SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE.

this way it gives the movie and most of all heath's death the respect they deserve.
WB is smart as h3ll to decide not to go aheah with it.
EVERYONE should agree no doubt..

Not only would that not stand-up for a video game, but it would piss a lot of people off. In other words, a dark knight game wouldn't even make it to the shelves.
In addition, I don't understand how someone could create the suspense, action, and social commentary that the movie provided without reproducing the movie...which the audience who would buy this game...already saw.
So then the other choice would be to recreate a new storyline within the story...something that may not have anything to do with what we saw on the screen.
It's called a no-win situation.
Oh wait, there's still another outlet...

Half the time they can't get the talent from the actual movie, or the movie talent couldn't voice act their way out of a wet paper sack.
The Transformers and Pirates movie tie-ins shall be the last ones I ever get burned on. I'm not buying another unless I can demo it first and like what I see.
That being said, I pulled Superman Returns out of the bargain bin and wound up fairly happy. I haven't seen the movie.
Iron Man could have potential, but I'd have to demo it first.
The new darker series of Batman movies could have potential too, but whoever would develop games for them would need to tread lightly lest they blow a good opertunity.
I'm not against movie games but they need to be more than a rehash of the movie or a movie based amusement ride.

Was anyone here asked if they would buy the game if it existed?
