Remembering The Lost Experience

Watch the official Channel 4 story below as they document their work on The Lost Experience, a collaboration with Hi Res! and the creators of Lost in 2006.

As we reported a while ago, Josh Holloway, best known as Lost’s Sawyer is playing the character “Ajay” in the new PC game Command & Conquer 3:Tiberium Wars

Until now though, I hadn’t seen Josh portraying the evil intelligence officer so it was fun to stumble upon this little video in which Mr.Holloway can be seen in character as “Ajay”. Pretty cool.

The official Lost mobile game from Gameloft was just released. Read the press release bellow or head on over to Gameloft to get the game.

The official mobile game provides total immersion into the world of LOST, with a storyline created by the team behind the series!

What if you woke up on the beach of a mysterious island after your plane crashed? You try to save the lives of passengers at the accident site, set up a camp, learn to live among the rest of the group, explore the jungle, hunt, witness unexplained phenomena, and avoid the bizarre traps scattered around this hostile environment. In a word: survive… and attempt to crack the secrets of the island! That’s exactly what the official game of the series LOST gives you the chance to do. Relive the unbelievable epic of the missing passengers of flight 815 through the eyes of Jack, the charismatic hero of this adventure.

Josh Holloway, best known as Lost’s badboy James “Sawyer” Ford, will do the voice of Nod intelligence officer Ajay in Westwood’s much anticipated game “Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars”.

Command & Conquer which is a real-time strategy game for the PC is set in a fictional future where two forces fight for dominance - the good Global Defence Initiaive against the evil Brotherhood of Nod.

Other actors who have signed on to play characters in the upcoming game include Tricia Helfer and Grace Park from “Battlestar Galactica” and Michael Ironside who already does the voice of secret agent Sam Fisher in the bestselling Splinter Cell games.

Yahoo News reports that Gameloft, one of the worlds leading developers and publishers of video games for mobile phones, is set to confirm an exclusive multiyear agreement with ABC and Touchstone Television to develop and publish games based on Lost.

“The success of both ‘Lost’ and ‘Desperate Housewives’ has been unparalleled. Both shows have a huge following with deeply loyal fans, and we are confident that Gameloft, with their creative and talented pool of producers, will exceed those expectations and develop a game that captures the defining essence of each show.”

said ABC Entertainment and Touchstone TV senior vp of business development Bruce Gersh.

Any details or storylines of the Lost game or games are not yet known, but Gameloft are reportedly working with the writers of Lost to “ensure authenticity while adding new elements and introducing original story lines”.

One of the worlds largest game studios, Ubisoft, the company behind titles like Splinter Cell and Far Cry today announced a long-term worldwide licensing agreement with Touchstone Television to develop and publish a video game based on Lost.

According to comingsoon.net, ABC are pretty happy about the deal:

Bruce Gersh, senior vice president of ABC Entertainment said:
“This deal is another example of how truly powerful the ‘Lost’ brand is. We are excited to work together with Ubisoft to create a gaming experience that will allow fans to further immerse themselves into the mysteries and intrigues of the series.”

Lost executive producer Bryan Burk said:
“Many of us on ‘Lost’ have been hardcore gamers for years and the chance to work with Ubisoft, a company behind some of our favorite titles, has excited us to no end. With the ability to tell new interactive stories within the ‘Lost’ universe, we’re giddy to be developing a game that, once completed, will be as engaging and fun to play as it is to create.”

It will be interesting to see what kind of game they develop. I think it was JJ or Damon who a while back compared Lost to an adventure game where you explore the environment and find objects that when combined, or used in new ways help you solve the mystery. I could also see the Lost game becoming something similar to the jungle-shooter Far Cry. The new Cryengine could certainly pull off the detailed jungle environments required by a Lost game. Either way, if someone should do a Lost game, I’m glad it’s Ubisoft.
