Looking beyond its home-grown CD-I format, Philips Media Games will release a growing number of original titles in competing multi-media formats during the next year. One of the first to be announced is a multi-media game version of the high-flying feature film The Crow. "Ten percent of our titles were released in formats other than CD-I in 1994", says Chris Dudas of Philips Media Games. "That's a trend that will increase with more and more of our original titles in 1995. We fully intend to grow into a multi-platform publisher". Dudas says some titles might not be released in the CD-I format at all. "As a publisher, we do not have to be platform-dependent if the market or individual property calls on us to adapt," he says. In the case of The Crow, the recently formed Content, Inc. will develop the interactive property for distribution by Philips in the spring of 1996. Content was founded last month by producer Edward. R. Pressman, whose film company produced the movie. "Philips made a strategic decision to go cross-platform, and we believe The Crow will give them their biggest breakthrough release," Pressman says. Using its November Burn: Cycle interactive movie release as an example, Dudas says Philips will release the title on CD-I first, with Macintosh and PC CR-ROM versions to follow. Pressman says that Content is still assembling the development team that will produce The Crow, bit promises that the interactive game will remain as true as possible to the gothic mood seen in the film. When asked whether he anticipates any problems producing the game since the film's star, Brandon Lee, died and is not available to participate, Pressman says Content is already cooperating with Lee's estate to ensure that the actor's presence remains strong in the interactive release.
