Films

Certain films have aspects that can easily be taken and used for inspiration in a game and some even take inspiration from games.

Real steel

·         Robot boxing

·         Gambling

·         Underdog kind of story

·         Futuristic sport

·         Terminals used to control robots

The robot boxing that is seen in real steel could make for some interesting mechanics in the games. As I researched into real steel i found that there is actually a game based off this potion of the film that is available over Xbox live arcade. This is a interesting way to create game play but I don't think basing the entire game off this is as good as some the games that are just inspired by films and books such as Alan Wake.

Gamer

·         play as real person

·         one life shooter called slayers

·         sims style realality game controlling real people

·         control of people for subscription

·         real life convicts used instead of death sentace play in slayers

·         chip used to control people 

Gamer is based around a fps that uses real people called slayers. The way it work is the player pays to control one character and they get one life and have to survive each game to carry on using the person. Even though this is from a fictional film this could be an interesting way of charging for the game as they pretty much are paying per play similar to in the old arcade machines that used credits t/o progress through the game. As i am creating a mini this way of payment will probably not be appropriate but could be a useful way to make a game addictive.
