I honestly believe Hudson and Walters may be holding on to their idea like it's one of those movies. And that in a few years we, the fans, will see their true genius. Because in the case of Blade Runner, this is exactly what happened. Ridley Scott had to splice in a random happy ending when test screening fans were confused and depressed by it's true ending. Though after time passed and the ending was restored, people began to really appreciate the film. The fans spent over 20 years speculating about the true nature of the ending before Ridley Scott came out and told them. In this case, the crazy fans that pieced together a bunch of clues from the movie to make an insane theory... well, they turned out to be right. Sound familiar? lol. I kid, because I don't for a second trust Walters and Hudson to have come up with something so intricate.
But seriously, someone needs to go wake these guys the hell up and explain to them that they haven't made another Blade Runner. This is another Matrix: Revolutions. The one that had fans scoffing at it's awfulness. The one with some BS about a pseudo-scientific sacrifice from the hero which miraculously causes the killer robot ships to just stop attacking. Also having something about a catalyst/architect who always secretly controlled the ominous bad guys, and could never manage to make a lick of sense.
That is what they have on their hands. Another Matrix: Revolutions. The movie that totally destroyed a franchise. The sooner they realize this, the better.
This isn't Inception, and this isn't Blade Runner. Or Fight Club, with its very awesome ending. The cinematics were botched the moment Casper got into the screen. I actually prefer BR's happy ending, though I understand the original one as well.
And honestly, I'm a fan of the cyberpunk literary genre; I appreciate bittersweet endings. I don't think I've ever felt so depressed as when I finished reading Mona Lisa Overdrive, but it was a great book and I appreciated the story a lot (Hey, Bioware, maybe you could hire William Gibson to write game scripts for you guys!) -- more so than after I finished reading Snow Crash. Also a good book, but it doesn't end with the same forlorn, bittersweet note.
That said, this could have all been avoided if they hadn't basically turned all the ending consequences uniform. It wouldn't even take extra voice acting, cut scenes or maybe Kimberly Brooks reading epilogues would've done great. Fallout: New Vegas had a great wrap and it didn't even take any cinematics. As well as its best written DLC, Dead Money. Holy crap, that was an awesome, if not very depressing story.
