THIS FALL...

SHIT WILL BLOW UP LIKE CRAZY.

AND ONLY ONE MAN CAN STOP IT.

AND THAT MAN IS....

*sound of record scratching*

carson daly?

*cue "jungle boogie" by kool & the gang*

that, that's the image i'm getting so far.

Great, a bunch of VG spin-offs of his movies!
Rappers of the Carribbean anybody?

@TheIrishNinja: You forgot to mention his female partner who portrays an unrealistic standard of beauty.

It seems like this same kind of announcement has been recycled for most of the big time directors in the past 3-4 years. Didn't Spielberg launch some huge game production deal a couple years back? Peter Jackson, too?

Is this a new trend? Hollywood producers and directors making games?

Maybe if we are lucky, we can get "Hitman The Movie: The game."

ahh yes video games do represent a "NEW" and "INNOVATIVE" medium. Glad famous people can tell us that otherwise I wouldn't have realized it.

The hell would Bruckheimer know about developing games?

MTV needs help playing music videos not games...

@TheIrishNinja: You also forgot to mention Eminem and Fred Durst being his sidekick.

This sounds awful. "MTV", "Bruckheimer", and "original" don't belong in the same sentence.

I'm imagining a game where a bunch of pirates have a death battle with the cockroaches from Joe's Apartment.

I have never been so underwhelmed by an announcement in my life.

why do i feel the need to throw up

This is a new trend that movie producers/makers think that making video games and movies are about the same. Now, prove it!

More "unique" games can only be a good thing, especially considering that most major game companies seem to be selling out to the highest bidder lately.

I remain hesitantly optimistic.

Shitacular.

Jerry Bruckheimer looks a lot like Chuck Norris in that picture.

Let's see... Since when did MTV have ANYTHING to do with videogames? More importantly, what does Jerry Bruckheimer know about videogames? As we've already established, nothing.

I'm going to remain bitter and sarcastic on this one. I'd rather be really surprised that either of these two parties could actually produce anything.

Let's start looking forward to 'CRIBS: The Game' and "Road Rules vs Some other douche-bags: Also The Game"

Yet another Hollywood figure coming to the realization that "video games are the future of entertainment" and deciding to spontaneously make super awesome, extremely cool and innovative games with sheer willpower, despite having no earthly clue about the developmental and creative process behind making games. This is stupid.

I feel like all these movie producers/directors getting into games run the same risk as actors thinking they can throw together an album and calling themselves a singer, too. Sometimes it works, but, man, is that rare!

It's a cold day in hell when Bruckheimer is the most original part of a team. Only MTV can pull that off.

MTV are quite strongly tied in the gaming business already, They do run Gametrailers + Xfire

Yay for giant corporations that have nothing to to do gaming throwing millions of dollars into a sink hole and giving consumers crappy games with massive budgets!

CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY THIS YEAR, BOYS!

@flukielukie: actually that is MTV's parent company of Viacom that controls xfire and gametrailers. but as for MTV getting into more video games. Jesus christ just what we need: "The Hills: The Video Game" now you too can play the role of vapid and spoiled rich kids that have zero personality.

Most of you are missing the point.

MTV aren't getting into publishing to milk their own properties. They're getting into publishing to be a competitive publisher. They're looking way beyond "The Hills", and more at stuff like this, which will be original content.

Original like guitar her....errr. i mean rockband?

@AnonymousNoob: yea, at first glance i thought it was an article about Chuck Norris playing a DS, but then i saw the title and moved on.

then came back to make sure it really was not HIM.

Well since it kinda worked for Vin Diesel why don't we give somebody who actually have some film credibility a chance... Can't we all just get along?!?

The only thing Bruckheimer knows about games is writing a check to whomever is developing the game he is putting his name on...

Jerry Bruckheimer has never done anything more than tell mediocre stories with awesome FX (and only produced them, at that). He's perfect for video games. Let's just hope he gives up on movies.

Mixed feelings. On the one hand, he does make good, popcorn fodder films. And there is definitely room for games that don't try to be revolutionary, just fun. On the other, people should stick with what they know. We don't need another big celebrity thinking games are simply another area for him to play around in. Does this make sense?

@Plunkett: I will accept that they are looking beyond The Hills when I see the game that looks beyond The Hills.

Until then I anticipate the critical failure and inexplicable commercial success of The Lauren Conrad Chronicles on a next-gen system near you.

Wow. I can't wait to see this arrangement go down in flames when the revenues for this new partnership end up being LESS THAN NOTHING. >_>

Oh, and before i forget: FU MTV.

The only director-type game producer worth anything is Hideo Kojima--mostly because he's so subtle and adept at breaking the "fourth wall". Otherwise, dev celebrity all comes from gameplay, about which I doubt Jerry Bruckheimer knows a damned thing.

All I can picture is shitty games along the same quality as their shitty movies. I will wait to see what this yields, but I'm not expecting some massive new IP to emerge.

WOW!!! MTV and Bruckheimer WTF? 50 bucks the name of the game going to be called Bad Music Explosion.

oh HELL no. fail fail fail.

"Original"... HA putting the word "original" anywhere NEAR the name Jerry Doucheheimer is a joke.

@UncleScrotar: I get it, you put Douche in his name. Yup, that was original.
