Peter Jackson...the gamer?

It was announced last week that Peter Jackson and Microsoft are going to be working together to establish “Wingnut Interactive”. Peter Jackson will have the opportunity to create a new breed of interactive video games.

Jackson said that new technologies which are available will help them to express themselves creatively in a whole new way. We all know that Peter Jackson has a “pretty good” imagination, and with the chance to sit down and try to bring his ideas to life, I’m waiting for him to come up with something freakish and out of this world – some thing that will change the gaming sphere forever. There are many in the race to redefine the gaming world, like Kevin touched on in the lecture. And I think Jackson is going to give the field a run for their money, after all he is working together with Microsoft, so I’m thinking that he’s going to have a few recourses at his disposal.

Jackson himself said that, "his vision, together with Microsoft Game Studios, is to push the boundaries of game development and the future of interactive entertainment."

I know that the gamers out there will be eagerly anticipating seeing what ever Jackson is going to come up with…I know I am.
