And if nothing else, The Empire Strikes Back served as the prologue to the classic Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire on the N64. The Battle of Hoth is perhaps more used in Star Wars space-sims than the Death Star to the point where the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront has it as the central focus.Įpisode V first introduced Boba Fett and still made him out as a credible threat whereas Episode VI could be seen as “ruining” the character.

Episode VI: Return of the Jedi featured bounty hunter Boba Fett being a bad-ass before his mystique was ruined by a journey into a Sarlacc pit.īut Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is the movie whose sequences encapsulated both elements and inspired a wave of video games. Episode IV: A New Hope gave us the classic trench run on the Death Star that has become a part and parcel of every Star Wars space sim ever. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back The opening scene of Saving Private Ryan is one of them but how many can also lay claim to inspiring an entire genre’s worth of video games over several decades? In the history of cinema, there are very few scenes that continue to live on in our hearts and minds. From there, games like Call of Duty – which competed with Medal of Honor – all the way to Gears of War have looked at Saving Private Ryan as an inspiration (designer Cliff Bleszinski especially talked about how he wanted scenes of “intimate violence” in his third person shooter). Medal of Honor: Allied Assault garnered much critical acclaim and the ability to capture the essence of the beach landing was one of many reasons. It’s almost insane to consider how many video games have been inspired by Steven Spielberg’s WWII epic, especially the opening invasion of Normandy. However, what are some of the most famous films that inspired and even dictated the direction of the industry? Which celluloid epics gave the industry some of its most memorable tropes and ideas? There are too many to count but here are our top 5 picks. The point is: Video games owe a lot to Hollywood. Or maybe you loaded up Star Fox 64, ventured to Katina and said “Independence Day 2 is right here, fools”. You might have been walking down the street with your crew in Grand Theft Auto Online and thought “Reservoir Dogs” with the suits. The Shining may have helped serve as the template for a mission in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. A scene from Terminator 2: Judgment Day can be observed in Call of Duty.
In the past decade and beyond, video games have been taking tons of inspiration from famous Hollywood films.
