Not impossible
just highly unlikely
I stole this topic from another board. But that's okay. Here's my thoughts:
Ender's Game - This is just BEGGING for a videogame adaption. So many options to choose from... You've got the real-time squad tactics of the battle room with complete 3-dimensional movement in zero grav. You've got the command school space tactics simulation, which is designed to be like a game within the book itself, so barely anything needs to be changed. There's the arcade room in the battle school, with tons of great minigame potential. They could even go with a dumbed-down version of the mind game. Huge potential here.
100 Bullets - I know this is already being made into a game, but it's being made into a gunshippy game. Someone needs to make a REAL game based on the simplist premise behind the comic: what would you do if you could get away with murder? The game would start out with your character meeting Agent Graves, where he gives you the magic gun and a list of targets that have contributed to ruining your life (and just for fun, make them tie into the Trust or the Minutemen somehow). The choices you make against these people should affect the overall course of the game. It should be set up like an adventure-style game, with some kind of melee combat engine, and of course some shooting, but under NO circomstances should you ever get another weapon or more than 100 bullets. That's how the freakin' game should be done!
Batman - Been done, but they need to take a cue from Spider-Man 2 the game here. Immagine a fully functional Gotham City to explore on foot or in the Batmobile, or even swinging on a batline. Immagine actually being required to SOLVE crimes, picking up clues from various crimescenes. How cool would it be to be given a riddle from the Riddler and actually being required to use your head to solve it? Or how about being connected to the rest of the Bat-team via Oracle in a MGS-like codec menu, where you can call Nightwing or Robin or Huntress or the various other Gotham vigilantes for advice or backup. If you ask me, Batman is almost more suited to the GTA treatment than Spidey is.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Yeah, there's a game with that name (I think), but I'm talking about the shorts that ran on Cartoon Network made by the Samurai Jack/Dexter's Lab people. Jedi have never been cooler than they have in that cartoon, and it would be too awesome to see that style translated properly into a game. Combat would be intense to say the least.
That's all I got for now. Anyone else?
