Hmmm.
Hmmmmmm.
Well, I guess this will continue the trend of games having amazing graphics, more cutscenes, and less gameplay then?
His movies are good (I liked LoTR anyway, although I prefer the book, I like the epic feel to the movies. HE did a good job with them). But games need to be about interaction. I like games that are less focused on plot, but give you more freedom of what to do. Like the Elder Scrolls games: the plot is there, but you can freely do what you want within the game world. There aren't enough games like that.
I like the Final Fantasy games. Love them even. But Final Fantasy X is a good example of the other extreme: the game is very focused in its's plot and you get little to no freedom to explore the game world and do things other than the main plot (at least until right at the end). It's a good game, the plot is great, but I prefer the freedom of games like Daggerfall (which is a better game, even with the dated graphics and numerous crippling bugs). FFX is more like an interactive movie than a game at times.
Anyway, I'm rambling on but what I'm trying to say is that I think Peter Jackson would be more inclined towards a heavily linear plot-driven game, like most games are these days. I'm sure his games will have shiny great graphics and a wonderful story, and lots of cinematic cutscenes, and there will be 2 minute spells inbetween the cutscenes where you actually get to do something.
Of course I could be wrong....
