To promote the new Xbox 360 game Alan Wake, agencytwofifteen (formerly TAG) has created an episodic drama that serves as a prequel to the game…
In the future we will see many cross-media entertainment initiatives like a comic or web-comic that serves as a sequel ad campaign to a movie or a video-game that serves as a vehicle to promote a movie. Even storylines that move backwards via different media formats and creative platforms.
Furthermore we will see a shift in the paradigm that underlies video games industry. Games were inducing fantasy into reality but now we experiencing the opposite, initiatives that expand a fantastic narrative into the real world, like ARG gaming and the marketing campaign for Dark Night, or a campaign that brings people together to do something that follows “induced” fantastic rules like Nike Grid.
Even in creative terms, we’ re moving from fantasy to reality, as we see in this initiative from agencytwofifteen were a prequel is filmed in order to bring this reality “effect” to the video game which is advertised.
