That show in turn is based on any number of competitive video games, from various Mario titles to Call of Duty and Fortnite.

KIOSKO TRAINSLATION MOVIE
The formula works well in video games, and apparently also in movie and television settings. BLOODSHORE GAME MOVIEīloodshore is riding that wave, and does an excellent job of capturing the magic.īloodshore is an FMV, or full-motion video game, where the player is presented with a movie clip and then given choices about what their main character will say or how they will act. These kinds of games are typically used for deep storytelling, and there have been many good ones that have come out over the past couple years, driven mostly by a handful of developers who are specializing in this kind of entertainment. Recent FMV games that were really good include the psychological thriller I Saw Black Clouds (which earned 4 GiN Gems), adventure sci-fi game The Dark Side of the Moon (another 4 GiN Gem title), the excellent horror game Night Book (which is published by Wales Interactive – just like Bloodshore), and the arguably best of the bunch, Dark Nights with Poe and Munro, a multi-episode thriller which features two of the most likable characters to ever set foot on the FMV stage. Poe and Munro is the oldest of the previously mentioned titles, yet still maintains a legion of appreciative fans even years after its initial release. The reason I am bringing up all of those other FMV games is because Bloodshore might be like them in terms of its interface, but beyond that, it really breaks the mold. That’s not a bad thing, but your enjoyment of Bloodshore may depend a lot on why you like to play FMV type games or interactive movies. For me, a hardcore gamer who generally does not dive too deeply into story-heavy FMV titles, Bloodshore was really a treat. But if you are looking for rich storytelling and slow, methodical plotting through a complex tale, which is a staple of what most interactive movies offer, then you may not enjoy the more action-oriented Bloodshore nearly as much. The plot of Bloodshore is that as the world collapses into financial ruin, television shows like the fictional Kill/Stream program in the game become white hot. The reality show follows a group of contestants parachuting onto a deserted island and then eliminating one another until only one remains alive. Apparently, the location of the island changes every time, and there is a lot of in-game debate on other television shows (that you will also be able to view) about the morality of Kill/Stream, but that is really secondary to the main action. In Bloodshore, you play Nick, a washed-up actor who is supposedly fighting so that he can claim the big prize and get his life back together. The island contestants in this season of Kill/Stream include high-profile streamers, entertainers and death row inmates.

We are told that the original seasons of the show only involved death row convicts, but it has now evolved to the point where anyone with enough followers on social media can earn a trip to the island to fight for the big prize. Why anyone would want to risk their lives like that is beyond me, but apparently in previous seasons contestants could “tap-out” at some point in the game, forfeiting the big prize but leaving with their lives. So, streamers might take a chance on a trip to the bloody island to boost their popularity.
