Film and Television producer Jerry Bruckheimer has entered a multi-year deal to create new game properties with MTV Games.
According to MTV news, the titles to come out of this new collaboration will not bring rehashes or spin-offs of any of the current Bruckheimer productions. So, no worries of a CSI or The Amazing Race videogame. As of now, no time frame or titles have been announced.
MTV Multiplayer asked Bruckheimer what style of game he would like to bring to the game market.
"I think the same kind of stuff we bring to television and films, we always want to look at things a little differently from other people, said Bruckheimer. "Pirate films were dead for a long time and we put Johnny Depp in it and created an unforgettable character. We did the same thing with fighter pilots in Top Gun and dancers in Flashdance. So we’re just trying to see things a little differently."
Wow, he cited Flashdance?
This is definitely surprising news, but I don't know that its something to get excited about. It is good to hear that there is some desire to focus on game stories, and that's what MTV Games has set out to do by bringing Bruckheimer on board.

I'm all for this especially if a "The Rock" game is in the works simply so I can hear Sean Connery once again say "Losers do their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen."
Didn't MTV pledge to spend a gajillion $$$ in videogames over the next few years? I guess this begins the MTV buying spree...Harmonix was the first or does MTV own any other developers? What other developers do they own? They should buy Rock Star/TakeTwo and have JB use the GTA engine to make Flashdance.
