Of all things, Reservoir Dogs is getting a game

[Igor-Rowan]

I wish I was making that up:This game wants to win the Rambo 2014 award of 'Beloved IP ressurrected as a game at the most random time possible' as well as the award 'killing any kind of hype with presentation alone', I remember seeing an indie game coming for the Nintendo Switch that looks exactly the same as this.

I've gave up on licensed games after Regular Show's game, the creator of the show was also working on it, and it was still rubbish, after a decade of these things I should have learned my lesson so I fell completely numb to the new Avengers and Steven Universe games.

It's also really weird that a Reservoir Dogs is being made when the Mafia series, Killer 7 and Yakuza exist to fulfill that niche.

Edit: Updated the trailer, the official one got removed.

Wasn't there already a Reservoir Dogs game? PS2/Xbox era.

 

[Kae]

Wait, what?!

Why is this happening again? The last one kinda sucked.

Wasn't there already a Reservoir Dogs game? PS2/Xbox era.

Precisely, it wasn't particularly good.

So it's Payday with Smash TV gameplay?

Can I at least choose not to tip at the diner while planning the heist?

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

Oh dear. Somebody spent the majority of their budget on a license instead a game.

Yes. I even had it for the PS2. It was a simpler time back then. I saw a game based on a movie that I liked so I bought it without knowing or bothering to know anything about it. And you know what - I actually enjoyed it for what it was.

Wow, that looks horrible.

However, an actual role-playing game, just the ROLE-PLAYING, in the Reservoir Dogs' world would be great. Think Mass Effect along with the "lie detecting" of LA Noire but with just the role-playing, choosing dialog and making choices; no combat.

I think Rockstar should just let Tarantino write their next GTA.

Edit: Now, if Payday wanted to make a Reservoir dogs DLC, that would make more sense than John Wick.

I dunno...the RPS article makes it sound like it has some interesting game mechanics that turn into a "sort of turn-based real-time single-player co-op Hotline Miami"

I guess the video in the OP shows a real-time runthrough, like Superhot gives you when you complete the level.

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

I'd rather get a Sin City noir game.

 

[Samtemdo8_v1legacy]

This just makes me wanna watch Reservoir Dogs.

I would rather have a Kill Bill game made by Platinum.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Look! A bunch of developers that completely missed the narrative of the movie and just want to bank off the name! What a fucking shitshow...

 

[Zhukov]

A Reservoir Dogs game that revolves around shooty heist action?

...

Okay, I'm not an expert on film or that particular movie, but isn't that kind of missing the point? Like... by a lot?

Thing is there isn't that much action across the Kill Bill movies besides the big Crazy 88 fight (which takes about 25% of the first movie). You have the (brief) duels with Vernita Green and Elle Driver and that's it. And the animated O-Ren flashback, and the training with Pai Mei, if you count that. I imagine that would be the tutorial. A Kill Bill game would have to make up a good 2/3 of the action.

So... a Telltale styled game (Like the Walking Dead series)?

Yeah. RD depicts the preparation and aftermath (even the getaway), but skips the actual heist.

Maybe the game will do the same, kinda like one of those "football/soccer" manager except for heist.

In a sense, it's pretty sad that adventure games have more role-playing than RPGs. Doing the LA Noire facial animation thing would be great. Plus, having a trust meter for every character could be something. If someone doesn't trust you, they see through your lies. Perhaps, you'd have to tell your lie to someone that does trust you and that character can convince the rest of the crew. Possibly being able to shoot any character at any time could be a mechanic as well.

Great, it's Scarface: The World is Yours [http://www.cracked.com/article_19333_5-video-game-adaptations-that-missed-point-movie.html] all over again.
