It’s rare to have a director comment on how disappointed they are by a video game based on their movie, I’m not even too sure if Spielberg has even talked about the travesty that was the E.T. The Video Game. However, Star Trek Into Darkness Director J.J. Abrams had some things to say about the Digital Extremes’ Star Trek game that was released earlier this year, specifically on how his team has pulled away from the project as it was going sour as it was a “huge disappointment.”
“The last game was obviously a big disappointment to me,” Abrams told GamerHub in a recent interview. “We were actually involved at the very beginning of it, and then we realized that it was not going in a place where we were going to get what we wanted. So we dropped out and they continued to do it.”
Abrams continued… “To me the video game could have been something that actually really benefited the series and was an exciting, fun game with great gameplay and instead it was not. For me, emotionally, it hurt, because we were working our asses off making the movie and then this game came out and it got universally panned. I think that it was something that, without question, didn’t help the movie and arguably hurt it.”
Back in February, Abrams was contacted by Valve co-founder Gabe Newell on a possibility of making a movie based on the Portal and Half-Life series. Abrams told Gamerhub that he is currently working with Valve and that the plan is to “make it exist on it’s own terms.”
When we reviewed the Star Trek: Video game, we thought it missed it’s mark with bad 3rd person cover controls, and dumb AI that could only be describe to have the Shiva Alomar effect when it was working.
