Stan Lee Believes Games are Catching Up with Films

During a speaking engagement at the Activision “booth” at yesterday’s Comic Con in San Diego, Stan Lee stated that he feels games are catching up with films and some of them are even surpassing films.

“When you talk about games evolving over the years and becoming more like movies, in many ways, they’ve gone beyond movies To do a movie is difficult, but it’s linear. There’s a beginning, a middle and an end, and that’s it – you write a story. In a videogame, you’re writing many stories within the story. It’s a totally different structure and a totally different philosophy of writing and, I think, a much, much more difficult one. I get the feeling more work goes into these videogames than even goes into the movies.”

Activision showed off some trailers for Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion, which as we all know were created by Stan Lee, or Mr, Marvel as he is called in some circles. While speaking at the event, Lee announced that he is currently working on new movie projects with Marvel, but that games are what he is most interested in.

“I marvel at the fact the games look as good, and in some cases better, as the most expensive movies. [Those] guys are just geniuses. Now you watch one of these games and it’s like watching the greatest superhero movie, except you’re part of it. It’s indescribable. And you know it takes a lot to impress me [said jokingly].”
