Could a game based on Watchmen work?
we got one
Only if Telltale handled it. They're the only ones with a good track record of making shit like this work.
>>337308157
Wrong
Telltale would water it down and make choices be a thing
Just play the Batman games and imagine you're playing as Rorschach
>>337308007
No.
Unless you made it a LA Noir game.
>>337309678
Yes because we all know batman remorselessly brutally murders people with meat cleavers, and kills midgets.

>Telltale
wew lad, have you seen anything that Telltale made after TWD S1?
>>337308149
This. It also had a pretty cool lockpicking mechanic
>>337309771
this, it needs to be an L.A Noir + Batman Arkham
the characther you're playing needs to be someone else other than the main cast, or a cookie cutter generic nobody that let'syou choose your powers with it's own path ofskills / class build
and of course, morality system
>>337309771

Fuck that. LA Noire a shit.
I want a business sim where the goal is to hide behind enough shell companies and corporate intrigue to successfully drop a squid on Manhattan.

Nigga. This is Watchmen. Go fuck yourself.
Not at all, it would actually ruin the purpose of the actual comic.
The novel is a hardcore deconstruction of superheroes and themes and a videogame would make no sense in the context it provides.
>Watchmen game
>it has a section where you get to be Dr. Manhattan and you have to juggle building the doomsday device with fondling some whores rape spawn
i'd buy it just for that section.

Trips confirm first good idea ITT

Deconstruction is a form of literary criticism. A work of fiction literally cannot be a deconstruction of anything. Derrida was a silly, French twat, but you don't have the right to ignorantly rape his corpus

Sequels and aftermath to the Watchmen can easily be done.
> Be the next gen of superhero / superpowered failures
> Still despised by the government / public
> Still live under the radar
But this time, you are fighting amongst your own kind, more than ever
Basically there will be TWO major factions
> One faction is againstDr.Manhattan (he is still at fault, even tho it's indirectly caused by his own action)
> These are the people that seek vengeance againstDr.Manhattan, for they have lost their loved ones and had their lives broken by the worldwide annihilation
> the other faction is the one that sought the truth, the followers ofRorscach's journal, the ones that opposes Ozymandiasand those that wants tobring the caped & masked community together, make peace with the normies
seriously that could work
it's pretty muchCivil War shit
>>337308157
>Dr Manhattan will remember that
>>337312079
yeah? and so what?
> set in Watchmen universe
so you could still be some masked caper with some kind of power, be it human or metahuman skillset and feats
> be Mexican Jose
> Jose is a janitor
> you play as a janitor in school
> do school mission
> everyone despised you for being a minority
> everyone despised the watchmen and supercapers in general
> you are actually a closet caper
> fight in a Lucha Libre every weekend
> has another set of costume and alias, save the neighbourhood and shit
regardless of you having metahuman powers or shit, you can still make it into an RPG with skilltree and build
> janitor II
> faster mopping
> wrestling III
> unlock clothlines move
it's better to play as someone generic, a nobody set in Watchmen universe with his own story, easier done
than having to write new stories for the existing Watchmen, and keep everything in canon to the lore, just so we can keep playing as them
