As you may already be aware, George Miller — director of Mad Max and, more recently, the Happy Feet series — has a keen interest in video games, setting up Kennedy Miller Mitchell, a games studio based in Sydney. Now, in an interview with the Australian Financial Review, Miller has revealed the studio intends to work in Brendan McNamara’s new game, titled ‘Whore of the Orient’.
You might think that getting slagged as an intemperate martinet who alienated and exploited an overworked staff at a studio that completed just one video game before going bankrupt would be, well, limiting to one’s future career options. Not Brendan McNamara of the former Team Bondi.
And speaking to Eurogamer, McNamara is claiming that it’s “one of the great untold stories of the twentieth century”. Intriguing.
Creator of Heavy Rain, David Cage, claimed that L.A. Noire’s MotionScan technology was an artistic “dead end”, but Team Bondi’s Brendan McNamara has struck back, in an interview with Develop, claiming that the technology will eventually be able to record all aspects of an actor’s performance simultaneously.
