The "Lost" Video Game - 07/26/07 04:51 PM

Well, members here have speculated that "Lost" would make a great adventure game. Now Ubisoft will be making the popular television series into a game, and it looks as though The Lost Video Game will definitely have adventure elements, but also a bit of action thrown in.

Quote:
Today Ubisoft, one of the world's largest video game publishers, in collaboration with ABC Entertainment and ABC Studios, announced the Lost video game will be shipping first quarter of 2008 for the Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and PC CD-ROM. Based on the award-winning television series, the Lost video game will allow players to experience an untold adventure of "Lost" in an immersive, interactive world. The Lost video game is being developed by Ubisoft's Montreal studio.


"The sense of adventure and suspense that we strive for in the show is also captured in the Lost video game," said Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, executive producers of the 'Lost' television series. "Ubisoft has done a fantastic job and come up with a game that is visually amazing and imaginative both on its own and as an extension of the world of the show."

I wonder what the ratio of adventure to action will be? And also if it will appeal to folks like me who haven't ever seen the series??

I've read that the game is going to be using the Far Cry game engine, which is a first person shooter engine. That doesn't mean that it's going to contain a lot of shooting and action, of course, but it does mean that the controls will be those of an action game and not an adventure game.

I can't believe they're making a LOST game! Sounds really interesting, I also heard they're making a Heroes game!

I'm a big fan of the series, I haven't missed an episode. However, I doubt a good computer game can be produced at this stage, considering that we're still a long way from seeing the end of the story or at least getting some definite answers on what is going on. It sounds more of a way of milking the title for what it's worth to me.

frown Okay, to cheer myself up, I decided to name the fantastic games that are a result of move or TV show tie-ins.

Ummm.....

They MUST be out there! The SpongeBob Movie (game) was very good, if you enjoy Spongie or if you play it with a child.

Can you tell I'm getting desperate?

Sam & Max had a TV show at one point, but I would really consider that to be a game based on a comic book/graphic novel, rather than the TV show, which came later and was also based on the comic book/graphic novel.

EDIT:

Okay, how about the CSI and Law & Order games? They're pretty entertaining.

Don't give up Becky, there's heaps more. smile
Some of the Star Trek games were quite good, there was an excellent Addams Family adventure for the Nintendo Gameboy, what about Blade Runner?

Re: The "Lost" Video Game - 07/27/07 10:16 PM

There ARE good games based on TV shows and movies. I had forgotten! I remember having a great time with Indie and with some of the Star Trek games.

Hope is restored. thanks

And thanks for the trailer, Chief!

Yes, though it has been several years since I played them, so they don't spring readily to mind.

Butcher -- I've watched my sons play some of the Star Wars games, but they seemed to be mostly action adventures.

Ah, i thought you meant games generally based on TV/movies, didn't think about adventures only.

Re: The "Lost" Video Game - 07/28/07 07:21 PM

I wasn't very clear, was I? Interesting that large franchises like Indie and Star Trek used to be translated into adventure games. They haven't recently, though, have they. frown
