Brandon Sanderson / Mistborn as a Video Game
« on: March 28, 2007, 05:03:22 AM »
Okay, there's already a topic visualizing the book as movie, but I think we're missing the real boat. I'm a software developer and serious video game fan, and this book has ALL the makings of a solid video game.
Basically, I'm envisioning something along the lines of Oblivion, a first person roleplaying game. The magic system lends itself very strongly to the first person. You could have a metal view mode where you see all the lines. It'd be awesome. Metal pushing and pulling could propel you all around the world spider-manish style. It could also have a solid multiplayer mode, even a hazekiller vs. mistborn mode. Also, Soothing and Rioting are classic dialog type skills, and the game could have tons of dialog choices. There is just a ton of potential here. Imagine a first person shooter with atium! Atium in multiplayer! It really would be great.
I'm sure there's more I'm not thinking of. What do you all think?
