"How would the fan's feel about a Gap Sequence video game?"

I'll answer first.


depressed.

Although as a MMO it has potential.
As a first person shooter.... just sad.
RP? meh. Would rather re-re-read the books.

stutt

I would not like it.

Although I've always thought that a Elite/Privateer-style game set in the asteroid belt would be nice, with the Amnion andall, but without the principal characters of the book. A side-story.

There is a Gap game that made by an independent. You basically control a ship and move it through space shooting at pirates and Amnion Defensives.

I think as an RP it's got potential, but it's GOT to not involve the main characters, at least, not as the main focus of the game.

Ya, among other things I'm thinking that playing through TRS would not be too much fun. Let's see, choose between angus and morn....

Seriously. I can see Angus's controll now: X=Degradate O=Attack Square=Leer Triangle=Revert into memory about childhood.

*keeps pressing square*

Hey, as long as you get to abuse Morn in so many ways...what's not to like?









Ummm.....I'm kidding, by the way.

There'd be absolutely no point in spending money to license Donaldson's material if you build a mere shoot 'em up.

However, there's some potential. There'd be some cool stuff if it was tied to an overarching plotline/mission thingy.

Consider. You play an ore-pirate. You raid miners, run from the cops, save up for a gap drive and matter cannon. Soon, your making deals with the Amnion. They give you tech, you can do more stuff. Soon the UMCP is interested in you as a spy. You do some things for them. Slowly, you uncover a UMC/Amnion plot. Your in a position now to forge an alliance between the pirates, the good cops, independent spacers, to bring down the UMC. At the same time you protect earth from an Amnion invasion.

The you say, screw that, lets play multi-player deathmatch in the asteroid belt.

Could be good.
