I don't think this is a bad thing. Nobody really has the formula for making a decent video game film so why not give Ubisoft the chance? If it flops we all move on and they continue making stellar games.
I wonder if anyone's considered trying an Uncharted Film in a similar style to the upcoming TinTin flick. I feel that would easily engage the audience and remove the 'who should play Nate' argument.
Yeah they really could have cleaned up the animation. Just sticking a voice that sounds like Marty McFly onto a computer generated character isn't going to sell it.
As a casual gamer and one that used to play in a CoD clan I was at first very disappointed with this news. My immediate reaction was negative towards this move but there can be some good that comes of this if done correctly.
Oddly enough when playing CoD1 & 2 on PC, I never felt the game was full of hackers and aimbots. Its not something I remember coming across all that often.
