Hey, as long as there's no Twilight mod for Vampire: Bloodlines, I could care less.
Ugh, Nines Rodriquez with sparkle physics, bleagh.

Oh no.

Dear god no.

Twilight has already stolen and broken vampires as characters forever, and created thousands of irritating fanboys/girls on the internet. We do not need them to break our game industry, too.

It would be a stream of Avoid the sunlight to not show you have sparkle skin.

BTW who the fuck would be like OMG! SPARKLE SKIN? YOUR A VAMPIRE! No. People would be like why the hell is this dude covered in Glitter?

Back to the point it would just have you walk through scenes in the movies and have quick time events for the action. Like the worst re-imagining of Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) ever. Possible adventure game style bits trying to work out that Edward is a vampire and not a closet gay who's a little to flamboyant to not know what he's into. Conversation branches that go nowhere. Pointless fuckeraoundery. And rewards of movie scenes or something.

It's possible, but it would be BEYOND terrible. Like worldwide Mass rioting from the gaming community. It's quite possible that the war between fan-girls and real gamers could end the entire world. I mean seriously. We wont be playing Metro 2033 in a few years. We'll be living it if this game is released.

So what exactly fo you do in a Twilight game? I notice that while he says there should be a game marketed to the 20-30 females (because let's be honest, what serious or casual gamer would buy this thing? In fact, what sort of functional human being with a rational world view would buy this game?), he doesn't say what the game should be about.

Puzzles don't work because solutions fall into the characters' laps, and most of their 'problems' revolve around how beautiful and immortal they are, an action adventure wouldn't work because the adventure part would consist of walking around a school very slowly and 'Adonisly' staring at underage girls, and the action would happen offscreen in the last minute while your character is unconscious in a corner. RTS doesn't fit, RPG doesn't fit because you're already immortal and invincible and have maximum glitter-potential, FPS wouldn't work and for God's sake not even that ball bouncing Peggle game or Pacman would fit unless it was about trying to bounce your vampiric blue balls into an emotionally dead 17 year old.

Sometimes there are other reasons a game hasn't been made, like no genre fitting, and I feel that in this case defying genre would be an idea right up there with making ET again.

In fact, I wholly support the idea of a Twilight game, because it would be so excrementally boring whatever they made that it might even penetrate the minds of the fangirls that this is not a good series, and it can go die under a pile of shit.
Yea...seriously what would happen? Other than a storyline that follows the books, what could they made the game about? Retarded through and through. This is just instance of humanity's dumbing it down. GG whoever the writer was that said that. You're a twat.

Maybe no one in the industry has made one because we still have a faint shred of dignity left.

Now comes the question. If you can make money from an idea, does that mean it is the right thing to do so?

On a slightly related matter next month there is a "Twilight day" at the cinema where I work. All employees are encouraged (read: forced) to get into the spirit of the event by dressing up, or participating in the fun and games. Therefore I shall go into work wearing...

I have only 2 words for that:

Epic. Win.
Two words for Thirteen though:

Van. Helsing.

Turn up in a leather coat with a crossbow and twin bandoliers with stakes in them, then prepare to kill anyone who utters the words "I'm a vampire"

Honestly though, the man has a point. We already know that anything with the Twilight label doesn't have to have exceptional (or even any) quality to shift millions of units. I mean, look how well Twilight did at the cinema, and that was hardly a piece of artistic genius. They could churn out any old pile of crap, about any vaguely-related plot point they could dream up, and it'd sell, because the target demographic don't care about good games. If ever one of the larger publishers (with time and people to spare) starts sliding, they could rake in a few dozen million from quickly churning out a Twilight game. It's sales already in the bag.

I'm actually incredibly surprised that Zynga or someone hasn't already got a facebook game out there for this.

What are you talking about? Zelda Twilight Princess was an amazing game.

Wait you mean Twilight movie? Pfft. Who wants to play that?

It will make money, but the company that makes will lose all of their dignity. I'd like to think were better than that.

Besides the game will be shit.

And in the process we've staved off a cavalcade of LAME from the industry?

Well worth the millions if you ask me.

I want a game that combines Twilight with an Sandbox FPS. Meandering through the Washington countryside, killing "Sparklepires" and Native Werwolf-Americans in inventive and painfully hilarious ways, possibly having the final boss being something like this [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091213210519/dragonage/images/d/de/Creature-Broodmother.jpg] labled "Stephanie Meyer".

There's a huge gap in the market for romantic games. The best I have seen so far is Dragon Age and that was just an option on the side. You can't be surprised that there are so few female gamers if all the games are about war and sports.

Just think of your favorite game. Imagine if every macho thing was replaced with something feminine, if ever chick showing off her rack was a topless guy. It would still have great gameplay and graphics, but the subject might put you off or be boring.

The world need pg-13 softcore for girls too. n_n





Gaming already has plenty of beefcake

Stick it on the Wii, it could always use more shovel-ware...

Thankfully the women in my life appear to have missed the Twilight bus, too busy watching Dexter and Battlestar. But picture the scene...you've spent the day labouring tirelessly at your job / college / school. You drag your ass home through rush-hour traffic...your one thought of release for the evening is MW2 and a nice cold beer...you get home, place the keys in the door...and suddenly, you hear something...some pasty emo performing what can only be be described as whiney-throat singing..."Fuck" you think "She's got the Twilight Soundtrack on again, I never should have thought her how to download things"... You walk into the living room, and BAM!!!! The full horror dawns on you. Your 360 / PS3 has been moved from it's mighty place beside the tv, there's a whirring, the damned and pathetic noise of your baby being used to run something it was never designed for...the menu screen reads "Twilight (A Heavy Rain rip off)"....

Your other half turns to... "Yeah, I was in HMV and I saw this and I just had to...but it was like $50...and I couldn't justify that for myself, but then I looked at the back and it's TWO PLAYER DARLING!!!! Finally, I don't have to just watch you play that Warfare thingie, we can play this together INSTEAD."

You come to, in a hospital bed. Your head gashed, you knuckles raw, you gums bleeding...you try to sit up, but are bound to the bed. Your head turns...a doctor sits by the bed. You're told you went into a fugue frenzy...destroyed your console, tearing it apart to remove the vile abomination it was never meant to play, you finally managed to remove it and then smashed it to pieces. You've been in the observation ward for two weeks, too frenzied to be taken off your meds. But the doctor smiles at you and says he has good news and bad news, the bad news it that you'll be there for the foreseeable future, the good news is that you're the 4,000th person to be admitted in such a way since "Twilight" was released and there's been a MW2 tournament going one in the dayroom all week.
