Would a Red Dwarf video game be any good /v/?
With all the plots, and concepts they've had, along with four different characters, could a game work?Should it have a laugh track?
Wasnt the red dwarf canonicly just a show? As in they became real because the author msde then up or some bullshit
>>334927807
what?
>>334927807
If you're talking about Back to Earth.They were just hallucinating from a Joy Squid or something. Instead of Despair, they felt happy for once, and woke up several hours later.
If not, then I'm not sure.
So what it is?
I always imagined them in something L4D-like.
>>334928145
I've never seen one before. No one has. But I believe it's a white hole.
>>334928330
A white hole?
The best thing I could think of would be something along the lines of an alien isolation type game with a Polymorph or something original. Manoeuvring Red Dwarf to try and kill/capture it.
It could be done well if the writing was good, and the gameplay was actually fun. But then it would beg the question, why not just make the show instead of making a video game around an episode idea.
>>334928359
Yes, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the universe, a white hole returns it.
>>334928969
So that thing's spewing time back into the universe?
>>334929057
Precisely. That's why we're experiencing these curious time phenomena on board.
>>334929280
So what is it?
>>334929358
Someone punch him out.
IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

>tfw i met Robert Llewellyn, Danny John Jules and Hattie Hayridge at a comic con two years ago
Felt good man. Wish I could meet Lister, Rimmer and the original Holly as well.
>>334929464
So what is it?
>>334929474THERE'S NO KIND OF ATMOSPHERE
>>334929761I'M ALL ALONE, MORE OR LESS
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE
I MISSED THE DISCUSSION
Would you eat a triple fried-egg chili chutney sandwich /v/?
>>334927807
No, it turned out that WE are the show and they are real.
>you will never turn a budgie into a t-rex
>>334930579
Thats fucked up
Why has no one tried to use the ideas Red Dwarf had? They'd be pretty interesting ideas to have in a vidya
>The Polymorpj
>The idea of the Justice Zone
>The idea of an extremely good and an extremely bad version of a person or being
>Despair and Joy Squid
>An opposite world with opposite stereotypes and such
>Luck and Sexual Attraction virus and the several others discussed in that episode
The books even had more ideas, such as a world that was personal hell for each individual person.
>Why don't we just fire up the PS4 and play some games?
>>334931825
>An excellent suggestion sir, with just two major drawbacks. One; the PS4 doesn't have any games. Two; the PS4 doesn't have any games. Now I realize that is technically one point but I thought it such a pertinent one I brought it up twice
>Rimmer world level
>>334931508
Those aren't original ideas. Many of those have been science fiction tropes for a long fucking time.
>>334927681
A Red Dwarf video game?
I think you're forgetting Space Core Directive 5796.
>>334930579
thats awesome
>>334930471
I have a spastic colon that would probably give me the shits really bad
>>334931508
The books had lots of cool weird shit.
>Humans start colonizing the solar system
>Having a that many people produces A LOT of garbage
>Humanity decides to make one planet a "garbage planet" where all of humanity's waste would be dumped.
>It ends up as a toss-up between Pluto and Earth
>Earth is the cradle of humanity; our true home
>Pluto is the smallest and furthest planet from the sun. That's enough of a novelty to save it from becoming the garbage planet
>Years later a garbage ship is dropping off waste at Earth and accidentally hits pocket of volatile gas that had been building up.
>Earth farts itself out of the solar system.
>Millions of years later Lister lands on the planet and it actively tries to kill him because it now hates humanity so much
>>334932091
>you will never fuck FemRimmer
>It's a Rimmer's neuroses episode
>>334932325
Space Core Directive 5796, anon?
All space core executives can only have up to 2 mistresses? What does that have to do with anything?
>It's a Lister episode
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9fyNXHH-2I starts playing
>>334930471
Absolutely.
Weapons-grade food is my thing.
a better question is, why isn't there a Batfink game where you play as Karate?
>>334932106
While that's true, I do think that Red Dwarf does a great job of making them digestible and actually fun rather than slogs.
>>334932718
The books were really crazy. The parts which were set on earth prior to him ending up on Red Dwarf were actually pretty fucking cyberpunk too.
>>334933932
>Earth
Mimas.
>>334934157
Shit, yeah, my mistake. It's been years since I read them.
The Red Dwarf books, Discworld, and Good Omens were my teenage years in book form.
>>334927681
No butan animewould
>>334934480
Speaking of a Red Dwarfanime. Japan do love it for some reason.
It's been translated to Japanese, and even the latest ones were discussed in videos and such.
>>334930471
I've actually made it for myself. It tasted pretty good because I liked those things but Lister was right about the bread dissolving and you have to eat it quickly.
>Would a Red Dwarf video game be any good /v/?
It better have Bazookoids
>>334934687
I will never ever understand why some things get popular in Japan.
So what is it?
>the final boss is Mr Fibble
>it's a kochanski episode
>>334940779
Jokes on you, I always stop watching before I get to that.
>>334938070
I've never seen one, no one has. But i'm guessing it's a white hole.
>>334934212
The audiobooks are quite amazing as well. They're performed by Rimmer's actor and he does impressions of the rest of the cast.
>>334941384
>That one episode where Holly fucks up the wiring in the core and Lister has to fix it
>Rimmer keeps doing impressions of Holly and Lister that are ridiculously good
Always gets me
>BUT HOW'D YOU DO THAT, HOL?
One of those guys voiced Simon in the first Simon the Sorcerer. The H guy, I think.

He was actually an impressionist back in the day. He did it for Spitting Image, which is GOAT.
Was he really a sister fister?
>>334941384
You should see the "Lost episodes"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWrwChrZcYE
>>334940779
I liked her.
Also isn't the new season in recording right now?
You all my niggas.
>>334927681
Definitely an adventure game, kind of like Lost Vikings/Stupid Invaders.
You play as each character,having to navigate them towards thwarting a threat.
>>334941776
Yes, I tried to get some tickets, but sadly I wasn't lucky. Season 11 and 12 should come out this year, and next respectively.
>>334941819
Is that a picture of Lister and his miitomo, or just someone with that picture on his background?
>>334941738
This is great
>>334942109
My miitomo
