Allow me to start off with a statement: in no way am I personally ready for the next generation gaming consoles to be released in the next year or two. And surely many others share this opinion as well. It feels like we're just getting to the point where game developers can really optimize the current systems' abilities, and to start all over again with a new system---especially considering how often we've seen hardware failures and other such problems---does not need to be rushed at all.

All of that said, we've been hearing many whispers about the next-gen consoles and when they might be released for a while now.

No one appears to know nerds quite like producer Scott Rudin.

Having backed the beloved The Social Network, the super producer has just made one of the bigger deals at this year’s Sundance Film Festival (still in the very early days, for what it is worth), picking up the remake rights to the documentary Indie Game: The Movie.

The film looks into the development of three respective independently developed video games, and four of the creators behind them, as well as their refusal to go and work for major game developers while trying to score big with their own indie works.
