Poll: Would you buy a game if it had musical cutscenes and dialogue?

[Lexodus]

Guitar Hero sorta counts already, you know.

 

[Chipperz]

I would buy it, and I would constantly say it's "hardcore" until everyone else agrees just to shut me up.

We will have Call of Duty : A Fiddler in Jenerikstahn yet!

 

[Cowabungaa]

What you mean like this?
Heck if they can make it work, I'd like to take a look at it.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

Not paticularly. For the same reasons animated fight scenes don't really impress me. Animated dancing is nothing special. The singing might work but you may limit your audience based on your choice of music. On the other hand almost everyone loves the portal song.

 

[Lazzi]

I would love to have a game that, I can see it now...

It would probely have th most drmatic affect in games like no more heros or MadWorld. One that are already over the top.

 

[Lukeje]

I can't believe I didn't think of this. It could just work!

 

[Hitman 43]

Maybe if it had good gameplay and a good story.

 

[Dalisclock]

If it was pulled off well. Good songs and preferably integrated into the gameplay in some way.


I thought this was a rather cool example. Comes out of nowhere, but it's hilarious.

 

[Jim Howlett]

hell yeah affirmative all the way mates

 

[Griphphin]

If we're talking full on Westside Story choreographed dance routines, I'd rather not, but a musical number or two in a cutscene would be nice.

 

[Last of the Chinchillas]

Good god, sir. The horror you have conceived and wish to loose upon the earth is an abomination not even the likes of Howard Philips Lovecraft would dream of!

I hate musicals. Keep them away from mah vidja games!

 

[Clashero]

I'm still waiting for "The Phantom of the Opera: The Game". Brutally murder policeman, stalk underage girls, burn priceless public structures to the ground, and take part in several tasteful musical numbers!

Coming to a store near you.

No.

No!

Dear God, NO![hr]Fellow gamers, I know the prospect of a musical-theater game is tempting, but think about it...

DO YOU REALLY WANT A MUSICAL THEATER GAME???

Look up.

Mandatory stealth scene in which you poison Carlotta's water, some Rock Band-ish singing pieces. Also, a minigame in which you aim a chandelier so it falls onto specific people would kick arse.

 

[GrinningManiac]

God yes.

Imagine a Call of Duty 4 storyline, with TF2 cartoony graphics, but really serious. Then every cutscene, a musical number? I would buy that for the "\lulz"

 

[Thaius]

I actually thought about this the other day: musicals are a genre gaming has not yet touched on. I would definitely buy that, if only to see how well it works.

 

[dorm41baggins]

Musical dialog? You mean like this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-9my0tsutw]?

Heck yeah.

 

[Lenny Magic]

If I told you I could take the nightmare away... I would be lying.

Short answer: No.

Long Answer: Really no, and if Peter Moleneux hears about this then I am holding you responsable.

So long as it is Dungeon Keeper 3: The Musical I really wouldn't mind taking your blame.

Oh God yes, have you read my posts? Half are random rantings, the other half are songs.

Hey cousin!
Let's go, grab a car!
American titties,
they're not far!

God damn it Roman
I am busy
God I hate
This fucking city!

NIKO! IT'S BRUCIE
HOW'S IT HANGIN?!
LET'S GRAB SOME LADIES
FUCKIN BANG EM!

Jesus Christ
Leave me alone
YELLOW CAR!
Just take me home.

If the songs were on that level, then GTA:IV would have been had been ten time more entertaining as a musical game.

I HAVE played cod 3 with "Springtime for Hitler" playing in the back =P

OT: YES YES YES

I may restart fallout just so i can mute it. =]

Careful with the ghouls, my advise would be to hire Tom Waits.

I like the way you stink.

How about something along the lines of Arkham Asylum?
