At a press conference in Rome to promote Inception, Christopher Nolan has revealed that they’re going to be making a video game based on the film.
Nolan’s words, according to Variety: “[What] we are looking at doing is developing a video game based on the world of the film, which has all kinds of ideas that you can’t fit into a feature film. That’s something we’ve been talking about and are looking at doing long term, in a couple of years.”
Considering the world, it really could be any kind of game. First person shooter, frantic car racer, gravity-defying brawler, Heavy Rain-esque
emotional adventure game, Sim City-esque worldbuilder (dreambuilder) or even, if they’re smart (and have the
funds), a few of the above.
Of course, this is the scene that immediately pops into mind, and an obvious launching point for the game-
But we’ll see what they do, and who they get behind it.
What would you want an Inception game to feature? Can we expect a limited edition to come with Leo’s totem?

Totem creation alone would be an awesome mini-game. I like the idea that dying in one level sends you down into Limbo, so you have to solve some puzzles and challenges there to get back up to the mission in play, with the time lag allowing you to skip back in without losing too much actual mission time. Even jumping down a level to give yourself more time to achieve an objective.
Ugh. I just got flashes of Enter The Matrix.
Finally saw this the other night. Great concept but really could have done with getting rid of the dead wife angle.
And although it was a great concept, it bored me to tears.
I think this is a clear indication that this movie was not Christopher Nolan's multi-million dollar wank on the creative process of making movies, the themes and meaning run much deeper than some shit Faraci pulled from a Nolan interview…. the real secret meaning of Inception was it was a meditation on the creative process of making video games!!! Most read article in Chud history… ha! Thank God Faraci is gone!!

This would be so great except movie video games always suck.
I made a graphic for my website that shows how the "Inception – Video Game" might actually work.
