Would you be interested?
No, they'd just ruin it.
>>321172567
Actually, that doesn't sound too bad.
Unless of course

It deserves much better.
>>321172567
>telltale
into le trash it goes
The Thing needs an Alien Isolation type thing
>>321172729
It would be amazing if it was random each time you played, and if you did well to keep people together you could end up with only 1 or 2 Things, but if you're reckless like splitting up, you could end up with Thing majority.
There would HAVE to be bad ends, forcing a restart. I dunno. Maybe have it radomized between 4 different people in the beginning.
>>321172840
That makes no sense.
>>321172948
I'm tired
I'm trying to say it should have the visual effects of Alien Isolation with it's focus on environment as well.
Telltale's games are for the most part well written but their engine is fucking buggy garbage.
ttg haven't made a good game in well over 5 years
>>321172840
You mean graphics
Having a similar game makes little sense
The whole point of the thing is that it's a perfect imitation that doesn't attack unless it has time to absorb or needs to.
So a game about it would be one extreme or the other, a paranoia filled survival were you have to keep track of everyone and keep watch for suspicious activity or a full on dead space hoarde mode which is what the previous thing game was.
>Check an NPC with a blood test
>Cutscene runs, he becomes one
That game was horrible in everything except atmosphere
I can just imagine the prompt with the two joysticks to make you dip the hot wires into the blood
>>321172567
The formula?
Sure.
The company executing it?
Absolutely not.
>>321173358
I think I'm really just thinking about how Alien Isolation's beautiful fire effect would work for The Thing's flamethrower
Just remake the last third person game but have Kurt Russell returning and a decent engine
What if it played more like The Ship video game mixed with Alien Isolation?
Large open base, people without any means of killing the Thing would have to break off into teams to complete tasks like starting generators (that the Thing players can sabotage). They would have to periodically have to sleep, eat, and various other things.
Maybe have the master Thing player, play it like a RTS, having a view of the entire base and players, but the other Thing players would play just like the other survivors, but would be able to convert them over if they manage to get alone with another player.
Obviously things would have to be done to ensure people don't just camp around, maybe like a timer ensuring people are constantly moving, and if people are together too much, it will take too long to beat the level, forcing them to separate.
I dunno. Any other ideas?
I'd prefer it be made by the original Silent Hill team
>>321173358
>Check an NPC with a blood test
>Cutscene runs, he becomes one
Really? I specifically remember checking a dude a few steps from his transformation trigger, and getting a negative result.
No. Don't ruin the thing by making a game in this new industry.
They would fuck it up.
Telltale has been getting worse and worse.
No because I would want to play a Thing game.
No
>linear game
>couple of choices
>game ends one of two ways
>>321174153
Movie managed to be completely linear and still be good.
>TTG
Fuck no, why not Supermassive Games?
>>321174219
Cool. So why does'nt Hollywood just port movies directly to video game consoles instead of licensing movie games?
>>321174435
>>321172567
Why doesn't telltale make other games then the "Le Ebin Choice games? "
>>321174975
Because idiots buy them.
TTG are the platinum games of bog standard point n click adventure games.
Until Dawn is all the proof you need that Supermassive would be a much better fit.
>>321174975
well Tales of borderlands was pretty good.
>>321172567
Yes if they don't try to shoehorn in some SJW bullshit just for the sake of doing it.
That being said, The Thing is probably too dated for them to release a game about, a Dead Space game would be awesome tho.
No.
I would rather have the until dawn guys do it, i'm not sure telltales style would translate well to horror.
Telltalle games aren't good
if they had the balls to actually include failure states which arnt failed quick time events, then maybe
There was a The Thing game on PS2, but I have no idea what it's like. Though if I had to guess it was probably a RE-like or something, gameplay-wise.
>>321175857
it was a third person shooter with some cool mechanics and atmosphere but horrible level design.
>>321173612
Space Station 13 can fill out a lot of the things you posted.
>>321172567
I'd prefer it if the studio that made Until Dawn did the game.
Just having a bunch of different death scenes and a few points where you have to guess who is the thing or not should add some fair variation and replayability.
>>321175857
It was on PC too and I think Xbox as well.
It was your average third person shooter.
No, the thing is one of the greatest horror films of all time and telltale makes garbage.
>>321175191
>>321172567
>>321172737
>Telltale's horrible game engine
This. For this game they'd need better production values to truly deliver on the horror. You could implement the basic concept of it with their crappy style, but it would look cheap, and Telltale isn't exactly known for their generous branching in their storylines. The interesting idea for having The Thing as a game would be for you yourself to decide who you think is The Thing and then live or die with the consequences. If it's Telltale executing it where your choices don't matter, it might as well stay a movie and just a movie.
>The Thin-
FUCK YEA-
>Telltale
No
Fuck, man, I don't even necessarily want a The Thing game, just a game that borrows the concept of an alien that can crawl inside humans and control them.
>>321176594
>crawl inside humans and control them
Except that's not what the Thing does.
>>321172895
nice, i like this
>>321176594
>pretending to like movies you've never seen
>>321172567
>modern telltale games
And there already is a game.
they already made a thing video game and it was pretty good
i'd rather have something like that
visual novels are not vidya what the fuck? what happened to this place
>>321176774
It didn't? Because as far as I remember, it started working on building a spaceship, so it must have chosen the human as its host and also had concious thought.
>tfw Bethesda gives the next Fallout spinoff to Telltalegames instead of Obsidian
Obsidrones BTFO
telltale games are the best tbqh
>>321177080
>>321177080
If we're both talking about the John Carpenter film, which is the most well known "the Thing," yes, the alien starts salvaging shit to make an escape craft. I don't recall if this was a spaceship or just something to get out of Antarctica though.
>>321177174
>>321177217
>>321177080
Nope. It just assimilates the victims whole.
>>321177174
I would actually be ok with this.
i just want scooby doo TT game
TT games are that shitty enough to pull off a good scooby game
>>321177436
>>321176774
>It just assimilates the victims whole
well yeah, I don't think the guy who said "crawl" meant it literally. Stop being so autistic
>>321172567
no more TT anything
>>321173624
same
>>321177529
It doesn't control humans. Once it takes over - there's nothing to control. The host's entire body is replaced with the Thing's cells. It just looks like a human, but on the most basic level it isn't.
Can you imagine this scene in Telltale's shitty engine and animation looking even close to terrifying? Would look comical.That fucking scream
>>321173624
That's what I said. Checking people doesn't run a cutscene.
>>321172625
It's perhaps the one game they'd be able to do well.
Ive never been able to bring myself to finish one of these.
They are just boring.
Despite the interactivity, they are significantly less engaging than a film.
>>321177358
I doubt the thing could make parts from a tractor and a helicopter go into space.
>>321177174
Why would you want that? Who does that benefit?
Cast of characters:
>no whites allowed to be portrayed positively, they must all display ignorance/bias
>must have a numale betacuck
>must have multiple stronk womyn
>vague minority characters that are faultless heroes
Telltale? Yeah no. I don't need a leftist identity politics lesson while I'm trying to enjoy a game.
>>321177174
i wouldn't mind considering how good the Borderlands one is.
>>321176886
Stop projecting your faggotry onto my perfect self
>>321178039
jesus
>>321177002
/v/ has always had a hard on for visual novels, sorry. Guess you weren't here for the 200 Katawa Shouju generals clogging up the front page.
>being new
>>321178039
>all white males are portrayed as assholes, and also all turn into Things
>>321172895
Holy shit, fuck yes. That is an excellent concept.
How the hell would they execute this though? I guess they could make the whole game like 2 - 3 hours, so that they could have just fucking tonnes and tonnes of dialogue and branching scenarios and encounters etc. You could play the game through several times and have 90% of the content each time being completely different.
The only analogue coming to mind is Lylat wars having completely different paths, but this would obviously be far more complex and have a lot of unique elements etc.
>>321172567
>shitty QTE movie with cel-shaded graphics
JUST
It would look fucking worse than what the movie does compared to today's standards.
>>321172895
Why would anyone split up though? There has to be some risk/reward to splitting up your people, otherwise it isn't even decision making. I guess you could make it so if you split up your group, you can scavenge for resources quicker, but I doubt Telltale games would ever implement something like that that's actually like a real game.
MAC WANTS THE FLAMETHROWER!
>>321179714
eat shit
God damn it i fucking love kurt russel and John Carpenter movies.
I don't need a game of any of them though.
>>321179935
It could be a psychological thing, maybe other characters start getting stressed or start to doubt there chances with group survival.
Maybe like you said with resources.
Maybe the thing will sometimes try and get the group to split up.
Maybe there will be moments where if you make the wrong move you'll be forced to split up, like you fall down a mineshaft or you and some of your friends do. Once you make it back up maybe the group you left behind all got taken over, or maybe if you didn't fall but others did and when they come back they were taken over.
>>321179714
good bait
Okay but for real
>>321180186
gladly
>>321180367
huuuuh so realistic looking huuuuuu
Fuck Telltale. They could never pull off The Thing.
The Thing was already done well in Space Station 13. That's how you do The Thing.

>New Twin Peaks
I just watched the whole thing last month for the first time.
I played deadly premonition before that and fucking loved it
Wished it was more like Deadly Premonition but Overall Twin peaks was alright.
i hate how they try to get Sequel series going now for everything in the 90s
Oh well. Hope this new Twin Peaks gets a little weirder than the Original wich wasnt weird enough for me since i expected Deadly premonition levels of crazy.
>>321180389
We already got the perfect Twin Peaks-game.
>>321180389
Okay but for real
>>321172567
>"Sorry man, I didn't pick you out because you look the most suspicious or anything..."
>Childs will remember this.
>>321172567
Give us a survival horror game instead
>>321172840
No, it needs a Resident Evil Remake kind of thing
>>321172567
Oh my god that sounds fucking awesome.
Too bad they don't have the directors and writers to pull it off and it'll follow that clown shoes remake.
>>321180389
Just play Life is Strange instead - That's Twin Peaks in episodic choose your adventure format.
Seriously, the Life Is Strange guys are a million times better than Telltale, this whole thread should be about Dontnod + Movie/TV-series Franchise instead
>>321180563
Better looking than alot of modern cgi
>>321172567
memetale "games"
sorry nigga, if I wanted to play this shit, I would read a book
>>321172567
You know how /v/ was all over Epic Mafia once? That games makes a perfect setting for something like The Thing.
If we spin that idea further you'd only need to build an engine and several gameplay elements to make an actual game out of it.
>>321184209
No. Episodic is not choose your own adventure you fucking mong.
Episode 1 will always progress to 2 then to 3 etc regardless of your "choices". Just watch a TV 14 drama you retarded girl
goonstation ss13 is the closest thing you're going to get to a thing game

Wow that's literally the Blair Monster from The Thing.
>>321185921
This guy is correct.
Every other station uses the old (see: Laggy) methods of environmentals and game modes. Goonstations light rp with actual gamemodes is the only station that's fun.
>>321186048

shame how barely anyone but a few people actually give a shit if a changeling is called out over the radio. Makes the gamemode no fun when nobody really gives a shit about you unless you're killing them.

No, they would ruin it like every game they make.
