Dredd (2012)

[Michaelvk]

Oooh, I like that..

[IAMTHESYSTEM]

3rd person? Sort of Mass Effect maybe with Judge Allies? Hmmmm. Might work trouble is trying to shoot third person can be a little difficult as I found out playing Resident Evil 5.

Batman Arkham City could be brilliant idea!

Congratulation everyone, we got to 300 pages now!

[Michaelvk]

This is the law!

..never did like 300.. Beardy shouty men in leather thongs don't float my biscuit.

[Michaelvk]

..I apologize for that awful pun...

I'm pretty sure this game already exists.

The thing about wanting Rebellion to make a Deus Ex or Batman Arkham City style Dredd game is a nice idea. But as best I can tell, Rebellion doesn't seem to make A-List level games like that. They are most squarely in the B-List category. and I'm almost afraid that the strain of attempting to shift toward a long development cycle A-List game developer would put to much financial strain on Rebellion to really be a good thing.

And that's the trouble, Dredd needs an A-List game to really shine. He can't keep getting Dredd Vs Death quality games if he's going to be taken seriously as a Video Game franchise. Or even Rogue Trooper quality games.

Its a conundrum.

Gee, thanks. So at least two worldwide number one games in the last two years don't count?

[Michaelvk]

Just had a look-see at the list of games Rebellion developed, and there's quite a few of my all time favourites in there..

I don't know, what I saw of the judges I think would really suit the graphics they have used for their last games. AvP, Neverdead, and Sniper Elite.

I think it would be good, they nailed the Marine campaign in Aliens vs. Predator, convert that into Dredd and have a cool story? Bam!

Sorry, bit of a dick there. But when I think of Aliens vs Predator and Sniper Elite V2 (which I assume are the two games you're talking about), I don't put them in the same category of game as Batman or Deus Ex. They simply seem like smaller scale games, with smaller sale expectations then your Mass Effect 3s and the like. Not to mention shorter development cycles, smaller budgets, etc....

I mean, I might be wrong, but I've yet to see a Rebellion game in the league of say... God of War III. Which is where a Dredd game needs to be in terms of exposure and technical fidelity.

No offense. I have nothing but respect for Video Game developers of all sorts (I wanted to be a game programer once upon a time). But I just don't see Rebellion releasing games like Rock Star, Bethesda, or Eidos Montreal do.

Jesus Christ. I was being facetious.

This thread makes my head hurt. Just scanned the last 25 pages for catch up. Not muched has changed then, just a few new behind the scenes piccys (which were great by the way) and some lucky bastards to go to a preview.
So if like me you have been off T'internet for the past three days that is all you need to know.
