So, we've got a topic discussing how cool Leviathan would be as a movie. What about a video game?

Personally, I think it would make a fantastic MMO.
You could have your own character, choose to be a Clanker or a Darwinist (or neutral, even), go on adventures, take part in the armies of either side and move your way up in the ranks... nifty stuff like that. :D

It could also be a really neat single-player game, too, though.
Something like where you could play through either Deryn or Alek's story, following the book plot. :D

The settings would be really fun to explore in a big open-world video game! And who doesn't want to pilot a walker/airship? That would be awesome.


I'm sure we've got plenty of gamers here, and I'm curious about how you'd feel about a Leviathan game! Let's go! :D

[Eraisuithiel]

I agree. It would be really cool.

I'd definately buy it... and then spend countless sleepless nights trying to wrap it. ^^

[PerfectlyxImperfect]

I hate video games..

... But I love Leviathian so much, I'd definetly buy it and play it. And I'd probably get addicted to it ^^

[Zombie]

Any sort of particular style of game you think it would be suited for? Realistic-ish graphics, more cartoony or anime? First person like a shooter, or third person like most RPGs? (Me, I'd love to be able to pilot a walker in first person- like, you'd just see your hands on the controls, and the landscape out the viewport. Fun. :D)

Hmm... third-person for most of the time (so you can properly see the undoubtedly gorgeous environments, all modeled on Keith Thompson's art, of course!), but switching to first-person when you're aiming a weapon or somesuch.  Or piloting a walker.

[Cyanrain]

It would be the best thing since sliced bread.

Omg as I was reading Behemoth I was thinking. "This would be a kickass game!"

[Zombie]

It totally would! The gaming world could use something as epic as Leviathan. :]

[CorpseVendor]

You switch back and forth from deryn and alek, taking missions, side mini games to like earn money. pilote freaking walkers!! Using beasties at your command! God it would be awesome!

[jackal]

I'd like an MMO, but something like fable (if anyone's played it) would be good.

[One Person]

A different character with a gas mask on. Switch from Darwinist to Clanker. First-person shooter is better

[CorpseVendor]

Or it could be a game where its... 3rd person view when you're walking around and stuff and when you get inside a walker it  turns into 1st person view

These are all epic ideas. As for me, just as long as I can play as Alek.    With a cute Loris on my shoulder.

[julia456]

Just so long as the loris doesn't give you "helpful advice"...  I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to kill those !@#$ fairies in Legend of Zelda. 

[Zombie]

Hahahaa~ I totally know what you mean. xD (not about LoZ, specifically, since I don't play those, but most little helper thigns in games are freakin' obnoxious. e_e)

The loris should just sit there giggling creepily/adorably. xD
