Kevin's Watch

EA Games did a pretty good job with Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth.

I would love to see the Chronicles done like that.

Skirmish battles would be awesome.

With the amount of games hitting the markets of all types, it's quite easy to picture the chronicles being made.

Storyline mode would be either Thomas and Company or Lord Foul and Ravers.

How cool would it be to use a giant raver in battle?

Hehehee.....As a TEXT ADVENTURE GAME!

"You find yourself on a small circular outcropping of rock. The walls of the outcropping prevent you from seeing beyond the ledge. What do you do?

<<Hellfire!>>

"I don't know the command 'Hellfire!."

Seriously though....that's a LOT of walking, in the first Chronicles...

Would it be all battles, or would there be angsty character development, too?

*Ranyhyn rear to Covenant. <Toggle X to accept the bargain. Toggle O to decline.>*

"Bargain? What bargain? Argh! Why isn't this in the cheat codes?"

"LEVEL UP!"
"Your 'Unbelief' skill has reached level 3!"
"You now have the ability 'Self-Starvation'"

Don't forget you need the control "ALT-S" to "Shave for Self-Discipline"

Can you acquire things to increase the "toughness" of your jeans, and the "sturdiness" of your boots?

<<Hellfire!>>

"I don't know the command 'Hellfire!."

heh

Another nice twist would be the possibility to play Lord Foul á la Dungeon Keeper, if anybody still remembers that great game...

Hehehe... Yeah, that would suck, heh.

One of the buttons should have Covenant yell out the name of some random character.

"Joan!!!"

"Lena!!!"

And there has to be a depression meter. Has to. Heh.-jay

Depression meter?

LOL


Covenant has the ring so ring mastery should be the highest skill to gain.

But think about it, High Lord army vs Giant Raver army.

...and Hile Troy stumbling around blinbly in the background.

Wait, what a cool character to be: all you'd get toward the end of the battle would be a black screen and really detailed sound. Points up for facing directly at Mhoram when you speak to him.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!

Don't forget ALT-B to "make Bargain" and keep bargaining every few minutes in order to proceed with the game...

Better yet, a Japanese Dating Game! (Though I have no idea how many of you would actually get this...)

"My name is Carroil Wildwood! ^_^ Do you like my trees, they are pretty! <3"

A: Greet him.
B: Make a bargain to save your army.
C: Ask him out on a date.
D: 'Put it in.'

Ew...I just turned forestals into Japanese schoolgirls...

"GROVELER! YOU HAVE COME AT LAST! WE ARE FOEMEN AT HEART, FOR YOU HAVE BROKEN MINE! I WAS JUST POUTING, LOOK AT MY TEAR-SODDEN PILLOW! PITIFUL FOOL! <3"

A: Apologize.
B: Touch the Illearth Stone to activate your white gold.
C: Ask him out on a date.
D: 'Put it in.'

I think a game like Star Wars or Final Fantasy would be real cool.

None of this menu-driven RPG stuff for me, thanks. If I'm playing a TC game, I want total environmental immersion. In a nutshell: TC as a first-person adventure using the Doom 3 engine. Or the future Quake IV engine.

Don't give me complicated menus, give me the krill in all its 3D-rendered glory so I can go kick Demondim butt. That'll push some pixels on my monitor.

Yes!

I loved the original Dungeon Keeper and still play it occasionally. Too bad the second one was so crappy.

They could definitely adapt the DK concept to the world of Covenant.

Ur-viles = Warlocks
Cavewights = Imps
Kresh = Hellhounds
Fire-Lions = Dragons

etc....

Banes like the Illearth Stone could easily stand in for stuff like the Increase Level and Resurrect Creature dungeon specials. I imagine the setting could still be underground in Mt. Thunder or the catacombs of the jheherrin, possibly.

Man....that would be a cool idea if it could be pulled off.

First person shooter all the way... Blast the enemies with white gold (who cares that you don't know how to use it, it looks cool!) and save the Land from Saturn and his minions

Could I play as a Ranyhyn? That'd show those kresh. Man, that would be cool... you'd command a detachment of Ranyhyn and Ramen against Lord Foul's army. Heh, then in the TPTP game you'd hang around starving to death until Covenant released you.

Remebering the old star wars games..just one or two specific scenes played out in the game. Like the battle of Soaring WH, Dodging the Clave's grim...?

...Nom. Calling Nom would have to be included.

That's... really really funny.
