GR/-\Y5I-IOT

For fans of the movie Cloverfield, you'll be glad to know that a video game is on the way, in more ways than one. Fans of the film and video game developers, Planet X Fiction Interactive and Twigs Inc. have begun development on a Cloverfield-inspired video game for the PC and Mac. Originally intended to be a fan-made Cloverfield game, Grayshot has since spun off into its own more original project after a discussion and agreement with motion picture company Paramount. Surprisingly, Paramount was very kind and excited about the fan-made Cloverfield game, but had to inform the developers that they were actually planning on developing their own version. While they didn't ask that the site be taken down or that the game cease to exist, they did ask the developers for their previous domain name, cloverfieldgame.com. Of course, the developers were very pleased that Paramount was so kind about the whole situation and now fans of the Cloverfield movie will be getting two games that they can enjoy based on their cinematic experience. Grayshot no longer has anything to do with the Cloverfield storyline or monster, but the inspiration and gameplay experience the developers originally planned is still being kept intact. You can check out the official website for the game at:

grayshotgame.com

Grayshot is set to be released via the internet on November 30 of this year.

No word yet on the status of the official Cloverfield game. All we know is that it is currently in development. Stay tuned. In the meantime, lets show the Grayshot developers some support for their enthusiasm and appreciation of one of the most intense cinematic experiences ever captured on film.

As a fan of Cloverfield, this game has my attention. According to the interview, the monster in Grayshot will be a 500-foot tall, indestructable, ground-based, radioactive pain-in-the-ass. Can't wait!
