Vin Diesel To Start Up Game Company?

GameSpy
"So many people had been approaching me to attach my name to this kind of project lately, I figured the time was right to get out there and do something on my own. I've been playing videogames forever. This project is more of a hobby than a business venture to me. I want to see if I can actually create a game that I personally would enjoy playing,"
-Vin Diesel

::claps with an annoyed look on face::

you go ahead and do just that Vin. i'd love to see what type of results you'd come up with, although if he went through with this, he'd just hire some company to make a game based on whatever he tells them to make.

God damnit. I have to put up with his "acting" already, why should I suffer with his games?! >:O

Hey, Vin Diesel plays pen-and-paper RPGs, so, I figure he might as well try his hand at a video game.

5-1 odds he starts working w/ Acclaim in some fashion.

Could be worse, he could start working with 3DO.

"3DO is proudly to present the next exciting episode in the Army Men series. Army Men: Vin's Heroes - featuring the voice talents of Vin Diesel, Giovanni Ribisi, and Barry Pepper!"

:bang:

Maybe if it's a game starring himself, it'll be like that Bruce Willis Apocalypse game. That wasn't that bad.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see if this even gets anywhere...

That would be great if the result of this was something like REZ or a maniac vertical shooter, and all of us simultaneously shit our pants.

Why do you all have such knee-jerk assumptions that this will be bad?

As Stone said, Vin's a big D&D fan and if any actor in Hollywood could pull this off, it's him. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Ditto for what sleeveboy said !

Have some faith people. At least wait and see the results before, judging it as crap !

Yeah - I'm interested in it, though I would rather see what Mike Patton could do with a game!

If any actor in hollywood could pull this off I would say Robin Williams could, he is well known as a video game freak. Hell in the book "High Score: An Illustrated Guide to Electroinc Video Games" they have a picture of him in the Wizadry section and a caption mentions how he was a huge player and spread the word on the game. Plus I always see pictures of him at E3 and such.

No one here really knows what kinds of Video Games Vin likes so who knows, he is a D&D fan so I bet its somthing in that Vin, I mean vein.

Who knows, maybe we will get a Iron Giant game out of this, he was the voice of the Iron Giant after all.

We all have that friend who thinks he has the best idea for a game, so he keeps sending it to GamePro every month. This is like the same thing, only he'll send it to E! online.
