The game credit sequences you'll actually enjoy

PC News | The Movies

15th Jan, 2007 The end credits of a game are usually by far the worst part. We're not talking about the game's ending here. Those can be spectacular. No, what we mean is the actual credits themselves. Not only are they the visual death toll of another game over, but all they offer you in consolation is the boring visage of a lot of names scrolling up the screen. And these days it's a lot of names.

Originally planned for a 2004 release and having been in development at Lionhead Studios for well over two years, Peter Molyneux's Hollywood sim, The Movies, must surely be nearing the final 'it's a wrap' stages of development. The game, which is a typically ambitious project for Molyneux (the brain behind Black & White, Dungeon Keeper and ), gives players the chance to design and run their own studio, talent-spot and nurture shining new stars and, of course, make movies.

The Movies: Latest pics of flicks

PC News | The Movies

It's been a while since we've looked at The Movies from Lionhead (of Black and White fame), a management title that puts you squarely in the director's chair, so here are three new screenshots of the game in progress.The film-making process is great subject material for a management game and it's a tad surprising that it hasn't been tackled before. The scope is huge as you take a project from the pitch to the premier. To get an insight into this fascinating prospect, indulge in a re-run of of ... » Read More
