Title: Computer Game Strips
Post by: Fish1000 on 04 January, 2005, 09:16:23 PM
Hi, just a quick idea having just read prog 2005.  In future, when promoting computer games (in this case the ROGUE TROOPER one), you could knock together a script to go with the screen captures, and publish it as a 2-3 page story.  Might get readers more involved, and encourage them to buy the game.  You could even run it in computer mages, might get some new readers in.

An interesting idea - possibly take screen shots from the game's first level and work that in as a comic strip AND also a level guide - it could also work well as a promotional material to be placed in shops such as GAME.

Maybe even a voucher for money off an issue of 2000AD too, although it should probably be tied in with a Rogue-Trooper storyline kicking off about that time too.

Wouldn't it end up like Striker?

Dunno, I'm not sure on the quality of the Striker CG at the moment

At the moment the Rogue Trooper game has a nice 'dirty' and real feel to the graphics - If i rememeber correctly, Striker's CGI tends to look a bit plasticy.
