E3: Microsoft announces Gore Verbinski title Matter
One of the surprises of the Microsoft press conference was the announcement of Matter, a Kinect title that's being developed in collaboration with film director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). It's a sleek, sci-fi-looking game which at first glance gives me the impression that it may be a puzzle platformer. Verbinski was last linked with videogames with his failed attempt to make a Bioshock movie. Let's hope this project pans out a little better. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Sorry, but when I hear the words "Hollywood Director Getting into Videogames," all I can do is struggle to remember what Boom Blox was. am i the only one that thinks this looks like portal 2? the little ball guys look like wheatley. im not saying this doesnt have potential, but c'mon... this conference was HORRIBLE!!! worse than last years. UHSER?!?! are you serious!! smart glass?? wii u rip off but worse. i dont want to take my hands off the controller and scroll through a tablet or phone. its not immersive, takes you away from the action of the game. Definitely got an instant Portal 2 vibe off that teaser. Also, hollywood directors are still trying to make games? Why? I'm still interested in that Guillermo del Toro game. He's a pretty self-objective director, so it seems like he'd have more of a grasp on something he'd try to do. That could be pretty kick ass. 1:00 PM on 05.22.2013 EA's E3 conference includes first look at Star Wars plansElectronic Arts' E3 press briefing will provide viewers with a first look at what the company plans on doing with its multi-year Star Wars deal with Disney, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau announced.
