New movies will come with multiplayer trivia games

The world's biggest movie producers have found a new way to benefit from the rapidly growing popularity of trivia games. They are now adding multiplayer trivia games to the discs in their new media formats.

Recently, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment (TCFHE) has launched a new international Blu-ray Disc release strategy which will include fourteen new releases during 2007.

The new releases include many industry ‘firsts’, but for us, the most interesting ones are the advanced BD-Java interactive multi-player challenge and trivia games. The BD-Live functionality allows Internet-connected users to enjoy unique, title specific “web-enabled” interactive features and games and content to download with the ability to connect and interact with other broadband BD users around the world.

Most of TCFHE's upcoming titles will be on 50 GB dual-layer discs with advanced BD-J interactivity. In addition to better AV quality and a lot of bonus materials, the new releases will have onboard multiplayer trivia games added.

Multiplayer trivia games are shaping up to be a new way for movie producers to add entertainment value to their movies. For example, the upcoming release of THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW will include a multiplayer trivia game in which users answer questions related to global warming, thus adding very important educational value to the release.

The added storage capacity of Blueray and HDTV formats make it possible to introduce whole new ways to enjoy movies, and this may be one of the best things about them.
