Michael Biehn: Dev Already Has Blood Dragon Sequel In Mind

[InvaderTim]

I like these spin off games apparently. Another major one that comes to mind is Majora's Mask, oh and Portal.

I think Assassin's Creed might also be a spin off that became its own franchise.

Keep it up

Could you specify as to how Assassin's Creed was in any way a spin-off of anything?

 

[Gethsemani_v1legacy]

Apparently Ubisoft did not expect Blood Dragon to hit it big. As a fan of terrible action b-movies, synth music and the grindhouse-style homages to exploitation films (Machete and Hobo with a Shotgun) Blood Dragon was right up my alley.

How do I contact this Dean Evans guy? I need to make him understand that including time travel/manipulation of any sort is required for Blood Dragon 2. Timesplitters, Majora's Mask, Timeshift and Singularity are all cult classics.

This makes me so happy. I love Blood Dragon. And it proves that gamers crave for something different. We can't take any more of the modern military shit. Give us something new and exciting. Like dinosaurs that shoot lasers out of their eyes.

I dont know, while I liked Blood Dragon this one is kind of a one trick pony. I totally love the idea of using AAA games and turn them into a small downloadable spinoff titles like they did here but if now they are planning into turning this one into another franchise soon people will start to dissmiss even this as simply another attempt to milk a perfectly good game.

Now go do something with Assassins Creed 3 or Borderlands 2, there are also the Tom Clancy's games, you already gave 80's parody Far Cry 3 Lite Edition, now suprise uses with something else instead of doing that again.

5 hours long eh?

Thats longer than most full retail titles these days.

I really need tog et round to playing it, it's a shame my PC just can't handle it right now.

 

[Goofguy]

I friggin love the idea, I'm just worried the novelty will have worn off by the time such a game is announced. It's all just wishful thinking at this point so I'm not going to buy in to anything.

The game came out of no-where and has taken the gaming world by storm, with sales exceeding up to five times Ubisoft's initial sales expectations, according to lead voice actor Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens). The sales were so impressive, says Biehn, that creative director Dean Evans already has a sequel in mind.

Funny that, when the acclaimed Tomb Raider sold what, 3 million copies, and was considered a failure... Turns out you can still make a decent gaming experience and make money from it! Who knew?

Good stuff, going to go try it out now :3

What exactly was Assassin's Creed spun off from?

OT: Seriously considering getting this game now.

Would guess Prince of Persia. But other then that no idea.

 

[KoudelkaMorgan]

Ubisoft originally planned AC to be an element/side game/whatever of Prince of Persia according to something I read either here or on Screw Attack. It was just called "Assassins" and as the idea got fleshed out they just made it its own game, and it ballooned into the cash cow it is today.

I think the original concept was for the multiplayer mode that eventually got into later games. I wish I could locate the article in question.

Actually I wasn't going to reply at all to what I thought a fairly innocuous comment that I wasn't even claiming as 100% truth, but people keep quoting me wanting to know and filling my inbox.

Here's to hoping this inspires more interesting projects. Its kind of sad they didn't expect this to succeed

I really want this but I;m going to wait for the steam sale.

Steam says you don't have to have the main game to play it? Is that right?

Its a standalone game so you don't need the original FC3 to play it.



OT: I was watching a Stream of someone playing this yesterday, he did the whole main quest which took about 2 and a half hours and I didn't stop laughing all the way through. I will prolly pick it up at some point for myself when I have my back catalog cleared a bit and hopefully when its on sale.

Okay thanks I don't really fancy far cry 3 but really wanted to play this.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon 2: Blood Dragoner!

 

[sXeth]

I think you can eke out a sequel to it, but it might have to tone itself a couple of steps down or its going to overload its material. Although if they throw some actual resources into it (other then the cutscenes, its 98% a reskin + Blood Dragons), you could get some better weapon variety and potentially hit the Duke Nukem market, since this is almsot Duke Nukem without the strippers.

cool by me; we need more silliness in gaming
