Lack of Twilight Game Has Cost Industry Millions

Actually, there is potentional for a good game in Twilight's universe. Yeah, it'd have to lock the books in a cupboard and change its name for fear of getting beaten up by all the other games out there, but does anyone really know anything about these vampires besides the sparkly thing?
First off, old school Vampires (really old school) had tons of weaknesses. They couldn't go near garlic, crosses, they couldn't enter a home uninvited, couldn't cross running water, no sun, no stakes, etc. Twilight's vampires have one weakness: tearing off all their limbs and burning them. Holy balls.
How about a Twilight survival horror game? Think of what you, a normal, pathetic human, are up against. You go toe to toe with any of them and you're toast. But then, the tone of the game eventually shifts when you get inducted into a clan of werewolves and find that you're one yourself. Now you and your few werewolf friends must stem the vampiric tide and remove the undead threat without jeopardizing the lives and lifestlyes of the human world.
Sure it's got nothing to do with the books, but there isn't a lot of opportunity for astounding gameplay or epic storytelling when the story has already made most of the internet either moist with tears or pleasure.

come to think of it, because the vampires in Twilight aren't afraid of garlic, stakes, sun light...they'd be pretty deadly (at least the "non-vegatarian" ones...ugh). altho that'd be a no-win situation for humans...just saying

vampire versus werewolf, gee that hasn't been done before lol

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

So they have aren't ugly(except kratos and the last guy with the faux hawk ;p)? The guys aren't just used as sex objects. All of the gameplay is still aimed at guys and as I said before I think there is huge market for games involving more feminine interests such as romance/human interaction. The Sims is a perfect example of that.

Yeah. Not fucking happening.

Ha ha ha.

I know one person that would buy a Twilight game with out even knowing what genre it is.
Even if it was pressing a button to move to the next scene she would buy it. She is not alone in her mindset.

 

[GunstarHero]

Times like this, I wish I had a 'like' button.

Anyone found contributing to the spread of Twilight will be dealt with severely and appropriately.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I think they should make a Twilight game

Then the Twilight fans will be on OUR territory

I'm not a Twilight-hater (I just don't like Twilight, alright? It's not aimed at me, WHY DOES THAT MAKE ME THE BAD GUY?) but Twilight irks me because of all the stigma around it on both sides. If we can bring the Twilight Fans into the Nerd Lands of the Internet, we'll have an even playing ground for deciding who's actually being the bigger douche in this stupid argument

 

[SnipErlite]

Because it would be shit. Is that reason enough?

did that stop Avatar?

Well no, granted. But the sheer amount of money Avatar raked in practically demanded a game from some conceited developer.

I think the developers are targetting Sims 3 players (Best Selling Game ever, with millions of copies sold...). Gamplay would be like Sims 3...you go to school, earn vampire points to gain abilities (muscled torso, sparkling white teeth, sparkly chest...) and you go out and date the other girls (or vice versa if you're a girl char).

I hate the books AND the movies, I've actually READ the first 2 books and WATCHED the first movie (I was lured by reviews of "The next Harry Potter blah blah featuring vampires" and so I thought it would be good (Anne Rice meets JK Rowling style...but no it was all teenage angst (without even any reason fr angsting *sigh*). Total Crap.

Either way if it was created or not, I would never play a game about Twilight or I would forever lose my self-respect. This, coming from a guy who tried everything just to test if I like it (including reading some Harlequin romances lol, and I rate those Harlequin novels much much higher than Twilight btw...at least the characters there are not as pretentious, ignorant and ungrateful as Bella).

I can see it now, the player makeup will be
50% are Twilight Hardcore
50% are trolls
.5% are people who actually play the game
All 3.14159265% of the players agree my math skills need work.

Outline of the Twilight game:
- Play as Bella, a boring, soulless, empty vessel that you can simply project your personality into.
- Contrary to most games, the MORE abuse you take (physical or mental) by your vampire buddy or your werewolf buddy (even though he's less of a werewolf and more of a blatant racist stereotype of Native Americans) the more you progress in the level.
- If you die from physical damage or lose all self respect from mental damage, you win the game! Yippie!

Theres no plot to play in that series, I only watched the first one drunk for a laugh. It was the most cookie cutter pansy drip I have ever seen. My ribs hurt from laughter when whats his face started twinkling, I thought people were joking about that crap.

 

[LightOfDarkness]

Because Twilight was a bad fucking movie riding on the money of it's overpriced merchandise bought by stupid girls who think whats-his-face is hot.

At least you know the eight first digits of Pi.

Also, I think they should make it a fighting-game: Blade vs. Twilight. It would be awesome!

BURN IT!

 

[maxlurifax]

Twilight is for girls, and girls don't play videogames.

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

I think a Twilight/God of War crossover would be pretty epic. Though I'm just imagining Kratos beating the shit out of all the characters for twelve hours. There'd even be a progressive rewards, like you start with the minor characters, and work your way up to killing Edward. lol.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

No, good sir, that would be your new avatar.

I am glad at how well it came out. It's slow, but that's sort of the point.
