Lionhead Studios adds another dimension to their upcoming Movie-Mogul-game by announcing The MoviesTM Online
Guildford - 31st August 2005, Lionhead Studios and Activision,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today The MoviesTM Online, a community website where
aspiring moviemakers can upload and share their motion pictures created with The
MoviesTM on the internet! Located at
www.themoviesgame.com, the site will launch a virtual film
festival for aspiring film-makers when the game ships this fall. Members of the
site will also find a host of competitions, Awards Ceremonies, a Prop Shop and additional
downloads that will help extend their gaming experience with The Movies.
One of the features that is unique to The MoviesTM, is that you can make your very
own films. With over 7000 scenes, 45 sets and countless costume combinations, Lionhead
Studios is expecting to be flooded by a whole host of varied and entertaining motion
pictures by all those would-be film directors out there.
The Movies Online has been designed so that gamers get an extra dimension to the
game. Every uploaded movie will be given its very own movie page where gamers will
be able to post their ratings and comments! The MoviesTM Online and The Movies are
connected by an interface that allows players to upload movies from within the game,
see which movies they've already uploaded and track their success online!
People will also be given their own unique Studio page, where they will be able
to upload the movies they have created. Each movie uploaded to their Studio page
will feature its own sub page and will function as a hub for all visitors to view
these cinematic creations and post their comments and scores.
Players that show the most promise and receive the highest ratings will soon find
that their reputation grows very quickly. What's more, the better their reputation
becomes the more virtual online credits they'll earn to buy new upgrades and extra
content to help make their movie-making experiences more enjoyable than ever!
