MrWally Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 From a short article in PC gamer Having just inked a deal with Touchstone Television, Ubisoft Montreal has signed on to develop a game based on the hit television show LOST. Scheduled to be released sometime next year, the game will explore aspects of the series not covered on the TV show, and will incorporate current cast members as well as new characters[/Quote] Above the short article was this picture How can this be? HOW can they even THINK of defiling such a great show as Lost?! This sickens me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Idunno man, I have pretty solid faith in Ubisoft. You KNEW they'd make a game out of it, and if they were going to give it to anyone that's the best bet for it not being completely awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 ...so where exactly do these new charcters come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapNColostomy Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Never seen the show, but ET's on the money. If anybody knows how to make a good game, it's Ubisoft. *Continues waiting for Splinter Cell 4* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 yeah, I agree on that behalf, I do trust ubisoft... but I can't possibly imagine LOST as a video game... It's WAY to cinematic... And really... look at the picture... it's like tearing apart John Locke's character and ripping it to shreads. ...so where exactly do these new charcters come from? Who knows? Maybe the tail section split in two and there are even MORE survivors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcd1234 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I dunno, I am a big fan of the show but I am willing to see how Ubisoft does with it, they make quality games for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I personally despise the show and I have a feeling I'd rather slice my arm open than play the game. But if anyone can make it suck at least on the same level as the show, it'll be Ubisoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthAve Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Noooooooooooo!! Wait a second, I didn't watch lost. However, games based on TV shows have turned out alright (Simpsons hit and run, Simpson's road rage, ect.) so let's not worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSR Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 NONONONONONONONONONONONONO they can't do this. it WILL ruin it. " feature aspects of the series not covered on the tv" translation= "we'll make some b******t up and try and fit it in somewhere, that way it will confuse you AND make you stop watching the show" evil commies...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 How can this be? HOW can they even THINK of defiling cashing in on such a great poor-but-popular show as Lost?! $ 'nuff said. NOOOOO! ...Oh, wait a minute, I don't watch Lost. My opinion: Let me just remind you that you can make good games based on movies and TV series, too (TIE Fighter, anyone).

abcd1234 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 No one is making you play the game. If you feel that it is going to ruin the show, then simply don't play the game and, for you, it will be like the game was never made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_hill987 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 HOW can they even THINK of defiling such a great show as Lost?! Or to put it another way, how can they even think of defiling PC gaming with another TV show tie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BongoBob Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Whats even worse is there's going to be a Desperate Housewives game : | Cause we all know us gamers are the target audience of Desperate Housewives : | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagobahn Eagle Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I don't watch the show, but I agree with what's been said, Ubisoft does know how to make a game.[silent Hunter III agrees]. Whats even worse is there's going to be a Desperate Housewives game : |Why? More to the point, how? What the Heck's it going to be like, a The Sims clone?

jon_hill987 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 So we get CSI the game, we get Lost the game and it looks like we are going to get Desperate housewives the game. Three shows which I'm sure most people would agree may make the worst TV show PC game tie ins since the Abomination that was Big Brother II the game. And yet one of the TV shows that would have made posably the best FPS ever had its game "put on hold" (read canceled, though last I heard there was a buyout possibility). I say put Lost, Desperate Housewives and any more CSI on hold and bring back Stargate: The Alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWally Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 More to the point, how? What the Heck's it going to be like, a The Sims clone? Yeah... that's gonna be weird... and in a Lost video game... what do you do? Go around as Locke with a knife hunting Boars and a "monster" that might not even exist?
