WATCH: George Lucas Predicted Games Will Look Like Movies Back In 1993

VINTAGE VIDEO: Lucasarts Promo From 1993 Featuring George Lucas

Below is a Lucasarts promo video from 1993 featuring George Lucas. The Star Wars creator who back in 1993 was the chairman of the board for Lucasarts starts his speech by saying he is in both businesses. He then predicts that games will look just like movies:

"I'm in the games business. I've been in the games business for 15 years, I've been developing interactive, multimedia entertainment and I'm a storyteller and I make movies. One isn't going to wipe out the other...There will be movies and there will be games and the games will look like movies."

Well, here we are 27 years later and he wasn't wrong with that prediction. Some of the triple-A games on next-gen consoles and PC look absolutely stunning and even in the world of TV and movies, there is a cross-over already happening with The Mandalorian using Epic's Unreal engine to provide the stunning backdrops we are familiar with in the world of Star Wars. This engine is used in games, here's a list of games that have used the Unreal Engine.

The Lucasarts promo plays a montage of the different (and lets be honest mostly awesome) games that the clever crew put together back at Lucasarts/Lucasfilm Games. Look out for classics such as Sam & Max, The Dig, Star Wars Rebel Assault, X-Wing, Tie-fighter, Indiana Jones and many more.

It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

Pinewood Studios To Expand To The Usa

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA. This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise.
