Listed below are the first Blu-ray movies you'll probably watch (and some "play") on your PS3 from 20th Century Fox.- Behind Enemy Lines
- Fantastic Four
- Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut)
- Kiss of the Dragon
- The League of Extraordinary Gentleman
- The Omen (666)
- Speed
- The Transporter
Some of the titles have interesting quirks, taking advantage of the PS3 and Blu-ray. For example, Kingdom of Heaven is the first title to use a dual-layer Blu-ray disc. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen boasts numerous such quirks -- a search engine to find scenes by actor, location, character, and other subjects. It also includes a first-person shooter. The search engine can also be found on Speed, along with a Java game. Overall, they're taking advantage of the power of Blu-ray, but it's tough to get it right straight away, so this is a small example of what's to come. The movies will be compressed in MPEG-4 format, which you all have pointed out is an improvement over prior codecs. Even so, adding in games with the DVD may begin to quell the majority of shoddy movie-to-game translations and just package them together at a slightly higher price. Just hope they also have a standard movie-only edition.
[update: reading old articles too quickly caused a case of brain farting. Fixed the MPEG-4 sentence. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!]
