What are some books that would make great video games?

>>388986389
They tried to make a game on the mistborn franchise, but it was soon canceled.

I can't wait for Oathbringer in november

>>388986389
Please stop trying to ruin books with video games. Video games are like porn in that there's expected to be a story but it's really not important.

then, like half-life, they'll never release number 3

>>388986561

>>388986729

If they made a Kingkiller game you would start at level 99 and already be the best at everything.

>>388986561
>>388986729
Do you think Sanderson have the balls to kill any major characters?
Since Janash came back and im about 99% sure that Sadeas is gonna be revived.

>>388987145
I don't think that he does. However, it doesn't bother me too much. I don't read his books for grit.

A proper one.
Maybe it can be an Enemy Territory game.

>>388987145

I mean, both of the main characters died at the end of Mistborn. Why would you think he doesn't have the balls?

>>388987560
Renarin have just been reveled as a Surgebinder with regrowth ability, cmon bro, it's pretty obvious.

I mean he killed characters from bridge 4 I got close to. In general, I don't think he does.

Night Angel Trilogy, It would play somewhat like Dishonored with less modern technology and less focus on Magic.

Not necessarily John Dies at the End specifically, but I love the premise.

The idea of dealing with cosmic horrors in the long-term of every day life, as opposed to one singular horrific event.

Like how the Malkalvian character in Vampire the Masquerade sees and hears things that no one else sees.

It was actually pretty good.

>>388988707
So, what, the object of the game is to attain enlightenment and CHIM yourself?

>>388988810
Do you mean Lift?

>>388988736
Definitely a squire, presumably along with the rest of bridge 4

>>388988891
Yeah, that one

>>388988736
inb4 Wit is a surgebinder

To find a new migration route for your town or build a series of floating platforms rotated to near infinity to remain in the habitable zone

A fucking redwall game would be the tits.

>>388986819
Holy shit I'm glad I can read more than 1 level deep into novels. Anyone who dislikes Kingkiller Chronicles is always a pseudo intellectual brainlet who misses about 75% of the information in the book.

People who think he is a Mary Sue must have been total fucking losers in highschool if they think being good (not even the best) in a few classes and having 2 people attracted to you is totally unbelievable for someone who becomes the most famous hero in the land.

Fevre Dream.

Old-school ritzy atmospheric steamboat parties during the day.

Wacky vampire hunts at night.

>>388989009
But he is the world jumper.

>>388988891
I hate to break it to you anon, but you need to read a 250 page novella with Lift as a main character before Oathbringer.
>>388988925
>presumably along with the rest of bridge 4
Even Moash?

>>388989373
Wit is everything and nothing.

meant for
>>388988925

>>388989009
I thought that it was implying that Wit was one of the original 10 Oathbinders or whatever the dudes from the prologue were called?

>>388986389
Should I start this series or wait for more of the 10 novels to come out? I Loved Mistborn though I only read the original trilogy some years ago.I still have lots of Discworld to read through on top of everything else, so I'm not struggling for good fiction by any means.

>>388989527
>>388989009

Wit is a character called Hoid. He is in every single of Sandersons books in the Cosmere. Hoid/Wit is a world jumper, who is going to be the MC of the next to final books in the Universe.

>>388989527
In truth, I don't remember a whole lot about Wit. I'm just pulling things out of my ass.

>>388989460
>I hate to break it to you anon, but you need to read a 250 page novella with Lift as a main character before Oathbringer.
Oh yeah? Make me, nerd.

>>388986389
I've always said this book would make a fantastic game.

>>388989886
Its only if you don't wanna be lost for Oathbringer.
>>388990104
What kind of game would you make it?

>>388989726
That explains why I was so off, I've only read the Stormlight Archives so far.

>>388989785
I was thinking of the chapter when he goes to some random town specifically so he can see that one guy from the prologue who got abandoned show up. I was pretty sure it was written like he knew the guy.

>>388990212
>Its only if you don't wanna be lost for Oathbringer.
Don't worry, I won't because I'm not a brainlet ;)

I believe you. But a smart guy would still be clueless with missing 250 pages with a side character.

>>388990518
I'll just skip every chapter she shows up in and enjoy a superior reading experience.

>>388988468
Thief series gets pretty close
You even infiltrate a prision to get someone out by using the underwater entrance
Similar setting too

>>388990212
Could be an rts or an action game imo. The part that made me think it would be good was the fights for the crystal things (it's been a while).

>>388990619
s one of Brandon's favorite characters in the Stormlight Archive and will have a larger role in the series in future books. This novella accomplishes two things: 1) shows the progression of Lift through her oaths, and 2) shows how Nale changes his mind about killing off the Radiants.
Good luck

>>388990750
Great, that means I'll be able to get through the next books extra quick since I'll be skipping so much of them.

>>388989009
He better be, characters who surpass humanity and become absurdly overpowered and knowledgeable about how the universe works are my fetish

>>388990836
Why do you not like Lift?
I don't like her that much either, but i still like her Spren.

>>388990930
Her chapter read like one of those so wacky lmao 2010s cartoons, except it's in an epic fantasy novel. Sanderson is pretty much as far from dark and gritty as you can get within the genre, but the rest of the SA stuff still manages to feel grounded and, most importantly, not have characters talking like a 12 year old from 2017 Southern California.

>>388986389
Why is this book being shilled? I saw a the exact image/filename in /tv/ asking "What are some books that would make a great tv series?"

>>388986389
I would legit love a Mistborn game. Something like Spiderman 2 or asscreed with a lot of verticality in the map.

It would kind of be like one of those old Star Wars games where, once you get good with the powers and shit, you're basically a god of death to normies. Then throw some dudes with the same powers at you.

>>388989284
Eh, I can see both sides of the coin. Personally, I think a lot of the people crying Mary Sue will quit once the third book shows how everything falls apart.

>>388991235
It's the most popular Fantasy after GoT. And someone has bought the rights to make movies /games/series out of it.

>>388988468
>Less focus on magic
Hey, but if they could make it an in-depth open world, they could have the vir/Vürdmeister exploration. There's other magics you aren't taking into consideration.

I want to see a SoIaF x Fire Emblem game. Specifically one set during the Dance of the Dragons war or one that chronicles the Blackfyre rebellions.

>>388990104
Most of Sanderson's shit would. Lots of varied locales, magic systems that would make for great gameplay mechanics, and loot with cool powers and shit

>>388988468
The first book was great, the other two were meh, and that finale... what the actual fuck
