Marc Ecko Gets Fresh With TV Killer Dexter
From book to TV show to game - that Dexter chap sure is getting around.
In 2006 fashionista Marc Ecko turned away from his sartorial enterprise just long enough to work with Atari and developer The Collective on a graffiti-game called Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.
Unfortunately for all involved, the game fizzled at retail. But Ecko has not taken the snubbing to heart and this week revealed that his company is working on a new game, one based on popular cop-slash-killer TV show Dexter.
The source material comes highly recommended. Dexter, a show about a Miami-based forensic investigator named Dexter Morgan who moonlights as a serial killer, began life on US cable network Showtime in late 2006. Since then it has earned an armful of awards, including Emmys and Golden Globes.
"Our game designers, writers, and artists are going to give Dexter's morally complex world the kind of interactivity that gamers will love." Marc Fernandez of Marc Ecko Entertainment said in a statement.
Don't expect to see the game too soon, though. In the announcement, the company describes the game as being in pre-production, and there's still no developer attached to the project, meaning this one still has a way to go.
