Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy announced, Matt Damon unimpressed
Nick Chester06.26.2007 11:51 (437 day(s) ago) 11 comments

 Not content with Tom Clancy getting all of the action, Sierra Entertainment and Ludlum Entertainment are teaming up to release  Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game will be based upon the universe of Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, popularized in a number of novels and the popular Bourne films, starring Matt Damon.

The third-person espionage action game is being developed by High Moon Studios, who should be working on another Darkwatch, but instead are focused on bringing Ludlum's characters and universe to life on next-gen consoles.

"We are not just basing a game on Ludlum's franchise," said Peter Della Penna, president of High Moon Studios, "We are building upon the universe he introduced with The Bourne Identity. Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy is our installment to the series and is meant to reside on its own within the Bourne entertainment library.”

Bourne entertainment library indeed -- five books, three movies, and one mini-series, the cashflow is strong with the Bourne universe. High Moon and Sierra will reveal more about Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy at this year's E3. I hope that also involves coffee and cake, because I'm going to be hungry.

I missed the part where Matt Damon was unimpressed.

Did I miss the joke?

This could possibly kick ass if done right.

This could be good if there was no Splinter Cell available. Plus Matt Damon look like Jackass's Raab Himself.

Darkwatch was ok but still...

I had the opportunity to do some focus testing on this game a couple of times. Then in the surveys I mentioned not owning a 360 and that I've never played Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid. That was the end of my focus testing career.

I'm not explaining things to anyone who read the article looking for Matt Damon news.

You can't make sweeping statements like "Matt Damon unimpressed" and then not mention him at all. I wanted to read a magical tale of him trying it out and exclaiming "I AM NOT HAVE ENOUGH HP IN THE GAME, IT IS RUBBISH!"

Alas, I'll never get to sleep now.
