Sonyseemingly just revealed a Gravity Rush movie is in the works, but it’s caused nothing but pain for many long-time fans of the PlayStation series.
You might think that this would be good news to Gravity Rush fans, but you’d be sorely mistaken. Loads of fans have taken to Twitter to express their frustration at the Gravity Rush series being revived as a live-action movie, not as an actual game. One recurring point of frustration is how Sony deliberately removed protagonist Kat from a PS4 background at one point, quite literally relegating the character to the vaults.
Another point of hurt is that the movie is live action instead of animated. Plenty of fans think animation would’ve been a better route for Sony to go, given the game’s sublime cell-shaded art style and existing anime works. You can see a little snippet of Gravity Rush’s art style at play in the Overture anime series, a two-episode taster meant to bridge the gap between the first and second games.
All of this is to say that Gravity Rush fans weren’t on good terms with Sony to begin with – and that was before it resurrected their series as a less-than-ideal movie. Fans really wanted a new game, and it doesn’t look like they’re getting that anytime soon.
