General / Off-Topic New movie based FD game in development... guess the franchise!

[metatheurgist]

That is a good point. The only reason I didn't remove Iron Sky from my list is because I couldn't find any reason to. I was also going by the phrase "global renown".

OK, now I know you're pulling my leg!

Star Wars, Star Trek or Alien. Any other guesses?

Planet coaster/Roller coaster tycoon?

 

[Rob At Work]

Finding Dory....

ED feels like that now..."Wait wot were we doing again?" "Making a social gank fest called Multi_Crew" "NO.No.No..It was a space game about trading" "Erm what was it again? O yeah pew pew game" - LOL

 

[Don Alvarez]

Poirot of the Caribbean.

 

[Javert]

I Daniel Blake, The Game.

In which you have to navigate through a surreal nightmare of procedurally generated welfare benefit application forms, and are rewarded with achievements based on baked bean tins.

 

[Patrick_68000]

The Simpsons ?

 

[Commander Biscuit]

Something with bugs in.

Doesn't "enduring movie franchise with global renown" usually mean some obscure Hollywood failure they couldn't sell elsewhere and so license a game as a last throw of the dice before it sinks forever?

It's Sharknado, isn't it?

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Something with bugs in.

Starship Troopers.

Their last game was an utter fail. Lol

 

[knowles2]

Exactly, the last Jurrasic Park game (discounting the stupid Mobile game) was 2003.

I'm gonna hunt me some T-Rex!!

There was a Nintendo super nes Jurassic park game as well, I still got it.

[kaivalagi]

Blade Runner?

 

[starman]

Frontier should enter the film making business. Make the films they want to watch. The script could be procedurally generated. Each film will be slightly better than the last one.

 

[Patrick_68000]

"enduring movie franchise of global renown". Garfield? [big grin]

I think the Simpsons

 

[knowles2]

This piece of speculation from Metro suggests it unlikely Harry Potter. But it only speculation.

[X-Terminator]

Blade Runner?

This has already been made so it can't be this. Tron3 or Logan's Run is also another possibility.

It could be based around the new film or a completely original storyline set in the Blade Runner universe,

Enduring franchise?

 

[OriginalBadBoy]

Enduring franchise?

Exactly ... The logic used here is just weird ... Its going to be a franchise, so it will be something that has been around for a while and has had several films.

I don't know why people are even discussing this. Its going to be Jurassic Park, it makes perfect sense as it fits with Frontier's MO, and it will allow them to create technology needed for Elite (procedural dinosaurs, tree's etc.)

Its nice to dream about it being other things but it just wont be. Other major franchises have their rights already sown up, and there hasn't been a JP game for years.

 

[Kaocraft]

Jurassic Park seems as good a guess as any, but what about Godzilla?

 

[Alien]

Just one problem with this, there has already been a Jurrasic Park game. If Frontier have secured the rights to a game version of a film franchise, it won't have had a game made already.

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park:_The_Game

Obviously I could be wrong. I still say it's Ready Player One.

EDIT 2: Of course, I am applying arbitrary rules to narrow down the selection. You could equally apply a rule that says it must be a game that has already been made. Ultimately only Frontier know what film franchise it is, and they aren't saying yet.
