Whatās more, The Terror Liveās title credits are said to be reminiscent of Battlefield 3ās. Once again, compare for yourself.
The movieās distributor, Lotte Entertainment, told ThisIsGame, āThe Terror Live has elements in which a terrorist act is being covered live, and this could be similar to video games.
