I’m surprised nobody’s made a video game where you watch a movie prequel first and then start playing

Oh it wouldn’t be right before the game, it’d be in theaters

Gamers get really polarized and antsy with the linear content accompanying a game. Cutscenes etc. on one hand are hallmarks of a AAA game, but on other hand get skipped by most players to get at the game.

The Star Wars games are predicated on watching the various Star Wars franchises.

Final fantasy 15 did this, but watching the prequel wasn't a prerequisite

This would be a really cool GTM and storytelling strategy for a AAA game

Bro if you make me sit through a fucking movie I ain't playing your game 😭
