Rorschach Game idea

[Scarn]

It would be cool if they made a game with the same engine as arkham but only it about Rochach, Not counting the End is Nigh game. being a detective interrogating and bustin up thugs would cool.

[LIGHTS]

despite rorschach being absolutely bad ass, I can't see him in his own game. he can be though, in a Watchmen game. I'd totally play it.

[batfan08]

I'm sorry,but no,The book was amazing,and the film was a decent adaptation,but I really think Watchmen is something that should be left alone.

[Scarn]

i'm not saying they should make a watchmen game im saying they should make a game with only Rorchach.

Yeah,but what's the point?There's a million other characters and if you read the book,Rorscach's a stain in the snow.

they can make him more awsome

they can make him more awsome

For starters Watchmen is a story driven piece of literature,not an episode of Justice League where they fight a race of big headed aliens,and Rorschach isn't Batman,and the fact that you are suggesting he star in a beat em up game is basically contradicting what Rorschach is.

[Friskies]

as much as i love rorschach as well as Watchmen, i think if they did make a game, i'd like to play as the comedian or nite owl. =D but, i also agree that watchmen should be left alone. Push it too much and sometimes things just don't turn out as cool as they used to me

[Old_BenKenobi]

I'm with the majority on this one. Leave Watchmen as it is. I think the same basic premise could be carried over to The Question though. That'd be pretty damn cool.

I think that's a fair compromise,as Rorschach was actually based on The Question.

It's rather unfair to reduce Arkham Asylum to a simple "beat em up" because it is a lot more than that;
However I have to say I agree with you, Rorschach and The Watchmen should be left as they are now, no more games for the sake of it.

Edit regarding the OP's edit: It's unfair to state "only comment if you like the idea" this is a board for discussion and not for approving ideas, your topic is up for discussion whether it be from a positive or negative angle.

[Scarn]

Im not saying it should be about all the watchmen characters just Rorchach and Im not saying it should be a beat em up i'm saying they should make a game based on him which includes interrigating or what ever he does. (don't really know about him but I like the character). and please if you don't like the idea please don't comment because I just want to hear from people who think its a good idea

How can you propose an idea about a character you say you don't know much about?

[Scarn]

i just did

[batfan08]

I'm not reducing Arkham to a beat em' up,if you looked at the OP's post it stated using Arkham's engine which I take it is the Unreal Engine and Freeflow combat in general,and also,I'm only stating that Rorschach isn't a superhero,and that it would be a completely different experience to take him out of his element and place him in an entirely different genre.

[Scarn]

ok considering that this isnt going the way I thought it would. please close this thread. sorry for bringing up my idea.

No need to get like that now, I was just asking.

I understand, I was merely saying it is unfair to reduce the game to a beat em up, same goes for Rorscach - He does more than beat people up.

Are you sure? There's no trouble with it staying open, these are just a few opinions. You sure you don't want to leave it open for other peoples opinions and ideas?

[batfan08]

It's okay to have different opinions,Scarn.Just for clarification,I'm not bashing you're idea,I'm just discussing it,and personally,I think these discussions are pretty cool,we're looking at different perspectives,and in turn,seeing the character in a different light.Also,if you'd like to find out more about Rorschach,you should check out Watchmen,it's an amazing book.:thumb:

[Scarn]

ok i'll leave it open. :)

Two problems with this, and I'm not trying to defend the OP or anything, and I'm not trying to start some huge cyber war. But...

Batman is also just one guy, I mean, they could have done a game about Superman or Green Lantern, or the flash.
Yes, he died, but that means nothing. Batman, if YOU have read the comics, isn't even Bruce Wayne atm, am I correct? Now, there is always room for a prequal to watchmen, like the end is nigh, but better.
I personally think, if done right, this could be great...you just have to view it as something before the book for one thing you know? Because...yeah...he died and all...but, as stated before, Bruce Wayne ain't even the batman in the comics, yet he is in the game.

[vicsage]

I second this.

Although, I think Question would do better in a sandbox environment like GTA. He needs an atmosphere in which he can really blend in anonymously and work covertly.

That's the thing though,Watchmen doesn't need a prequel,nor should it have one.I think the big thing here is that people are mistaking Watchmen for a Superhero book,and in reality,it's much deeper than that.Bottom line,some things should be left alone,and Watchmen is one of them.

[The Comedian]

All Rorschach would do is investigate and interrogate.

[Scarn]

and beat thugs

I watched the movie before reading the comic, and this may just be my opinion, but that might be a reason why people would like a prequel. The comic IMO goes so much more in depth for the characters, you get a better understanding of each one, and it's just over all great (not saying the movie wasn't! I loved the movie and it got me to want to read the comic).

anyways, a watchmen game in general i think would be pretty cool, just...don't push it in a direction that watchmen SHOULDN'T go into, such as prequels

and please don't close down this topic. I love the watchmen, so video game talk about it is fun :thumb:

[The Hylden]

Read the book, saw the movie. I see no reason why Rorschach couldn't have his own, unrelated game. His life has to have an amazing amount of areas to elaborate on in a game and his style of beating and killing criminals -- heinous ones, at that -- is right on par with a video game beat-em-up. So, that, plus a detective action/adventure mystery game would be great, if done well.

[batfan08]

I just don't find the need for it is all,as OldBen said,if you want one use The Question,he's more in-depth with the mainstream,I,quite frankly,think it should be Taboo to make Watchmen or it's characters into something they aren't,a videogame.Would you want a citizen kane videogame?or maybe a tale of two cities?Bottom line,WWAMD?What Would Alan More Do?
