I recently have been on a movie franchise kick for games. Most are really bad. But this did get me wondering, what would be a great franchise to build a game on?
For me it is Battle Royale. If you have not seen it, it is available on netflix streaming. Watch it. It was the eerily similar "inspiration" to the Hunger Games. But with over the top Japanese styling. The basic no spoiler plot is that a class gets sent to an island where only one person can survive. If no one fights, every one dies. Plus, there is always an ultra violent ringer brought in.
It would be neat to have an entire island with stock piles, shelters, and tens of other contestants waiting to take you out. Everyone gets one "special" item. Some really useful, some not so much. It is all luck. The multiplayer would be really neat. Working together and forming alliances is a great way to get to the end. But the alliances HAVE to break before the timer runs out.
What franchises do you think would make good games?
