Licenses That Demand A Game

Recommended Posts

I actually thought before that'd be a fantastic mod, making it better than the actual game (for me at least). Fewer units that are both more powerful and more precious. The concept of the countries banding together and the desperate struggle getting more and more strained all fit perfectly.

 

 

...but it would be an entirely different game to realistically even be DLC. A nerd can dream...

Terminator 2.

 

The film is the greatest video game never made. The Terminator is a walking bullet sponge. He has an inbuilt detective/scanning mode. He uses an assortment of heavy weapons. He walks and talks rigidly. Why have Rocksteady not made this game already?

 

There is so much obvious potential in the concept. Yes, he sponges bullets but if he can't pass for human, he's not much good to anybody (yes, I'm paraphrasing the film :) ). If you consider that he's forbidden from killing anyone, the game could actually be extremely strategic and non-violent. Okay, perhaps non-violent isn't quite right, but incapacitating people seems a little more progressive than beheading. If you had the skill you could tank it or you could stealth with the lights out or use the environment to your advantage, yadda yadda. All that video game stuff. Multiple gameplay possibilities empowering the player with choice...yuk. But hey, the Arkham games have shown how to mash genres enjoyably and make all that hot air into something chunky and satisfying.

 

Also, the T-1000. You can be the bad guy. Morph into the wall to take down guards, copy people, get information, get stabby, run after little boys on bikes, leap onto helicopters. You lack the detective vision but you're a goddamn poly-mimetic alloy! Guns are so '80s - it's all about the knives and stabbing weapons.

 

The movie gives you everything. Great and varied locations (residential, urban, desert, office, shopping mall, flood-control channels, steel mill, future warscape...), car/motorcycle/lorry chases, guns. The goddamn objective based gameplay! It's already a video game, and it's got a massive built-in 30-something nostalgic gaming audience.

 

The worst game I've ever bought was T2: Judgment Day (NOT the Arcade Game) on the Mega Drive. An awful awful thing. However, now they've scrapped the law that all licence tie-ins must be shite, Rocksteady or Naughty Dog must make this game.

 

Aren't some of the Matrix games already similar to this? And GTA:SA, almost.
