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.

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

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

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