The differences between movies and video games? Well, the differences are getting less and less. “Advances in technology since the ’80s enable game developers to model extremely lifelike figures — an imperative if you are using recognizable, A-list actors. Some of the newest technology even allows figures to show signs of emotion. As movies and games move ever closer, even the improved sound capabilities of game consoles are a factor, allowing the nuances of dialogue to come across more clearly. All of this has pushed the use of movie and celebrity tie-ins to new heights.”
