Possibly looking at it through a nostalgic Fighting Fantasy haze but I can see myself loving this game. _________________ Playing - Crackdown and Halo 2
The worst thing I ever did was give away all my old Fighting Fantasy books. As a kid, I bought practically every one of them and I'd do anything to get them back.
There was also a similar series of books about an interplanetary spy, solving crimes across alien worlds. Like the FF books, you got to choose your course through the story, but there were many more visual puzzles (a bit like Prof Layton's). They were bloody awesome! - Just read-up about them on Wikipedia. Anyone willing to sell me all twelve, I'd be very interested!
Doesn't Ian Livingstone have some involvement with Eidos? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be publishing it?
It does look quite promising, though I could never get into the books as I'm the sort of person who makes the wrong decision, dies, then says "Nah, I didn't mean to do that" then turns back to where I was before.
With DVDs and games being what they are now, a movie version of Fighting Fantasy would be awesome! Or an adventure game based around a Fighting Fantasy novel! I think an adventure game with fighting elements would actually work better than an RPG for this franchise. Ask them if they would consider that! Or basically a series of cutscenes with QTEs. The secret is the story. Especially if it were a ninety minute game, the branches would make it worth playing through again and again.
I always cheated my way through by winning all fights. Come to think of it, I'd mark every branch and go back and read everything in one go! I'd have like, six concurrent narratives running at once, it was awesome! I loved those books, with their cheeky green spines...
Aaaahhhh.......i will be watching this one closely as i loved the FF series as a kid.
I still have the first 10-12 books safely up the loft along with the Lone Wolf series and a few more i cant remember as its been sssoooooo long since i read them.
This game if done correctly will be ace and hopefully recapture those precious days.
Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
