  • What media do you want to be adapted into a video game.

    Any media that is not currently a game but you think could be a good one comment below. I'd say for me it'd have to be Slaughterhouse five, if a really creative team adapted that novel faithfully into a game it'd be one of the most unique games ever made imo

    I have always wanted a really well made stargate game where like the series its just as much what you decide to do as the shooting.

      I'd like to see Stargate, but its utility as a video game is kind of limited, if you're looking for an experience like the show. Maybe in a story-drive single player game. Something about having millions of SG teams doesn't fit the cannon well.

      I think you could have a game in the Stargate universe, maybe another galaxy where they can make a number of new factions that are actually balanced and not tied down by current lore, and its not one or two superpowers and the occasional anomaly like Milky Way/Pegasus.

      Didn't expect to see that here. Yeah, Stargate would be pretty cool.

    I would love to see a game based on my favourite horror movie series - Hellraiser by Clive Barker. A game so dark, gory, evil and twisted it would be probably banned in some countries. We need more games like that!

      I second this, as I have a complete collection of Clive's works.

      A thousand times yes to this!!
      A game as shocking and controversial as MK1 and MK2 at their time.

    I want to play Larry NIven's Ring World. Open world, AAA, well done, or medium rare.


    Don't say anything about halo. It has nothing to do with ring world.

    I also want to be inside here, at will. I don't know how. Somebody should make it.

    Anything by Brandon Sanderson. Mystborn series and The Stormlight Archives would be perfect for video game adaptations. It helps that Sanderson is a gamer and these two works have already been adapted into Tabletops or TCG's.

      Stargate was supposed to get a Half Life 2 mod. But I don't think it ever got finished. There was also a horrible SNES game

            You ever see the Dark Tower movie? Talk about ruining a good thing.

            I bet something like Pet Sematary has potential to be a decent horror game, though.

            I did. I was destroyed by it, lol.
            I'd love a Dolores Claiborne or Lisey's Story walking simulator thoug. Just randomly throwing those two out there.

          Eh. I've never been a fan of licensed games. Been burned too many times... Maybe Goblin Slayer. I've been reading the light novels and plan to watch the anime sometime after. I guess it could make a neat turn-based game similar to Fire Emblem.

            I just finished binge watching Season 1 of Goblin Slayer... it 2ould make a good game, but the Anime is so filled with tabletop RPG references that you could argue that it's basically a fan ,ade module for bioware's neverwinter nights game....

          If we assume that the product we get is going to be a quality game, then I'd like to see the "Talislanta" setting portrayed in an isometric crpg.

          I'd also like to see a modern "Ravenloft" crpg.

            Old Soviet war films from the 50s. Tons of potential for stylish shootouts and a dark story.
            Whatever you love, I probably hate.

              A game based on Kurt Wimmer's dystopian sci-fi action movie Equilibrium. Some really juicy controversial topics in this one, and the use of the Gun Kata fighting style would make for some interesting action.

                Loved that movie.

              Scarred Lands - before the recent reboot that took all the fun things out and made it super safe & boring - would make an awesome setting for a fantasy CRPG.

              The current iteration of Eclipse Phase (prior to 2E) is the best sci-fi setting that I have ever read, so obviously that would make an awesome setting for a sci-fi CRPG.

              I would definitely be open to a new Vampire: the Masquerade game. Probably not going to happen anytime soon, but one can dream of a better future.

              I really, really, want to see Requiem for Rome and Fall of the Camarilla made as a mod for Imperator: Rome (so I should probably start working on that as soon as the game launches).

              Those are the easy ones. Then there's a whole slew of regular books that I would like to see realized as games.

                I would love to see another VtM game but I fear no matter what they did, it wouldn't live up to Bloodlines and everyone would be disappointed.

                What did they do to neuter Scarred Lands? I own all the original supplements (though not the modules) and ran a two year campaign in the setting, I loved it. I bought the "Book of Vile Darkness" right around that time and it complimented the setting perfectly.

                I own the original release of Eclipse Phase and found it to be an inspired SciFi setting, bringing a more modern version of science fiction to our tables. The game is insightful and its vision of the future is one of the most likely I've seen in awhile. It has a strong "Ghost in the Shell" and "Altered Carbon" feel to it, both settings I find inspiring. What did they change in later printings? Why do you recommend pre-2E?

                I'm more worried that Paradox Interactive - having already effectively destroyed what was left of White Wolf - will have their newly appointed WW brand manager micromanage the game to death. The end result would be a super safe and boring game that's right in line with what Onyx Path Publishing has been doing for many, many years now.

                The short of it is that they removed as much antagonism as they could from the setting, so that titanspawn are now misunderstood and innocent beings who can be Redeemed (it's a whole thing). There's a whole slew of stuff that was watered down to make it more palatable to a whole new audience, which is very much in line with what Onyx Path Publishing has been doing.

                The 2nd edition of Eclipse Phase has been delayed for a variety of reasons for years on end. This usually means that you should be careful purchasing the new edition without (preferably) waiting several months for in-depth reviews. There's a quickstart available, but at this point it may or may not be representative of the final product.

                The Titanspawn are misunderstood and redeemable? The world is inoffensive? That flies in the face of the entire theme of the setting! What the fuck? Well, glad I got the books when I did so I never have to read that garbage.

              I want the Drifters anime to become a game. Maybe a pure action game with a bit of resource management on the side.
