Where's My Doctor Who Game?

[Lord Krunk]

I dunno about a Doctor Who Game, but some innovation would immerse me.

For example: TARDIS RACING!

Racing people in time tunnels, shooting and crashing into innocent Daleks (heh) and racing the Master in a bid for the Key to Time!

I dunno, sounds like a good idea to me.

The Ten Doctors [http://www.shipsinker.com/wordpress/2007/03/11/doctor-who-comic-the-ten-doctors-page-1/]

Loved it. Can't wait for Page 91!

You could perhaps have multiple battlefronts on one map, but at different points in time, with each faction having some form of time travel unit or building to transfer units between times. But that might be overcomplicating it.

I think you should forget the Dr. Who aspect of this, and just approach it as an RTS in general, with a time-travel mechanism. The mind, it boggles, at the possibilities.

I work for the BBC, and at the moment there's a massive discussion on its internal forums about why it isn't doing more about games in general. Not that this actually means anything, but it just highlights the fact that the Beeb just doesn't seem to have a plan as far as games go at the moment. But there are those of us who want to see that change.

I believe Eidos is planning and making a game for PS2, DS and PC.

Pity they're wasting time with inferior PS2 specs, though. This game would be awesome if it had PS3 power and a good plot and gameplay.

Man, I know... I wish Team ICO hadn't wasted all that energy on making Shadow of the Colossus late in the PS2's life cycle. If only they'd waited, it would've been so much more awesome on the PS3. Because processing power = good games. And I'm never sarcastic. Or a liar.

I am really dreading the time they bring out a doctor who game. I can see it being like a movie game (except for a tv series) in the way that you can unlock different "costumes" or doctors in this case. Also, what much else can you do, instead of playing the game you might as well just watch the tv series, its better quality, cheaper and alot less effort.
