Quoted from Looking4FirstPin:I disagree. I realize that this is not going to be a popular opinion, but I do not believe that movie clips should be included in every themed movie pin. Frankly, many games are better than their themes. For example, if The Shadow was made today and featured clips of that movie, the popularity of that game is going to suffer. To be fair, we all know that The Shadow wouldn’t be licensed for a new pin today, but that’s the point of licenses: some catch fire, some fail miserably, and most are probably mediocre. Making games based on themes requires that theme work well. To me, POTC is a mediocre theme in an outstanding pin.
Clips from Wheel of Fortune, CSI, Congo, The Flintstones - movie, or Johnny Mnemonic are not going to help those pins, even if you believe they all have great shots and rule sets.
I’m not trying to debate themes here, but the almost universally beloved themes will thrive with clips. Clips of themes that time proves to be weak will detract from some pins.
Not every license will be Harry Potter, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Godfather or frankly WOZ.
I actually agree with your comments here. Weak themes would suffer.
I misunderstood your prior post. I thought you liked the theme of POTC in your praise of the game. You like it despite the theme, therefore the lack of character content is a plus. Makes sense.
