Similar to "The Movies" by Lionhead Studios?

The Movies (game) was an amazing and creative game about 15 years ago. So much flexibility creating your own movies, staffing, running the business, etc. But players especially had fun actually making the films themselves with all the scenes and props to choose from.

Will Filmaker Tycoon be similar?

It looks like they're only doing a preview generator for now. Where based on the movie you make, you get to see a generated preview of it before you release it.

Literally the first thing that came to mind when I watched the trailer. Loved The Movies.

I guess, given this will be EA, we can't expect the same depth as The Movies. I'm looking forward to this, though! Will have to see the state it launches in first.

We need Black and White 3

Graphics seems the same like 15 years ago, thought this game kinda reminds me of mobile ports.
Hope the game turns out to be fun, I had a lot of fun with The Movies back in the day :D

I'm not a stickler for graphics, I'm just worried there are only so many lines of dialogue and variables in the game that you might end up seeing the same kinds of previews over and over again.

I loved The Movies! I hope this is like it.

Yeah, this looks like it will capitalize on the love of "The Movies", but not get anywhere near it in quality or features. Bummer!

[American Tragedy]

Yeah I have the same feeling :(

We want to address that Filmmaker Tycoon is first and foremost a tycoon game. In my opinion, The Movies was more of a simulation game.

While there are some simulation aspects in our game, we have focused more on the tycoon aspects. In Filmmaker Tycoon, the quality of the movies you make will depend on the crew you hire. This is where a tycoon game is different from a pure simulation game.

BIG NO, this game just like city builder not like The Movie video games

Thanks - that makes sense and is probably why there is a disconnect between what fans of The Movies want, and what you guys are making.

I wish you would have gone with a simulation game instead then, but thats just because I love The Movies.

Best of luck!

Well I really love The Movies game, but I also very like just Tycoon games. As seen from the trailer this game has some kind of mix, but reading out of the comment it goes more to Tycoon games, so I will give it a try anyway.

Thanks for clarifying! I happen to love both simulation and tycoon games, so a best of both worlds game definitely has my interest.

I made some pretty good movies in "The Movies" but if think this taken as a tycoon game could be good also.
