There has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not there should be a THG Video Game. While some say it would be very entertaining and a big hit, others say that it goes against the purpose the series all together. What are your opinions? Is it good or bad? Wrong or right? Stupid or genius?

If you yourself believe that you may not be beautiful, then your mind will be constantly plagued with the possibility of becoming ugly.

Anyone on this site who says no is... Well, why are you on this site then, exactly? We all want to see how we'd fair in the games without actually being in them.

Part of me actually wants to say no. The Games are very compelling in the book because of the personal element involved in them. If that element is kept in a video game, it would have to become a linear, single-player adventure. That's why the Games can work amazingly well within an RP, but a video game would be sketchy.

Still, I think there are ways it can be done right. If it's played online with 24 player characters (and player characters only), you may not have the same personal element, but the only thing left to do would be to figure out a fair way to drag it out over a few days.

If it were to be made with any intent of staying true to the story, it would have to be a massively single-player online game. This would mean that while you would be playing alone, your interactions with your character would be uploaded to the community database and essentially, your character would be playing in The Hunger Games at all times. This would involve an AI system that would basically learn from how YOU played the game.

Take Spore for example. Creatures created are uploaded and downloaded for games all over the world.

And you think you see me.

You could make alliances and have hunger and fatigue, I think it would be amazing!

It would need to be a single-player rpg, otherwise you wouldn't get the same amount of immersion that's necessary to really make it work. It would have great amounts of variability to the game, since you could make all kinds of characters, maybe with a large quiz to determine history, based on each district. Then the maps could have so much stuff, and I would love a custom arena creator.

The issue is, after you won the games they'd have to put in some kind of rebellion. You'd get loads of missions towards freeing Panem. Otherwise the game would only last a few days. They could make you play the actual length of the Hunger Games, instead of shortening days and nights, but the game still wouldn't take too long. (The issue with that is that the rebellion was the worst part of the series in my opinion.)

As I consider myself to be one that plays video games a lot (because I do), I would think that making this game well would be possible, but it would take a lot of work. If the people developing it are willing to put tons of time into it so you could create your own arena, or even the random events and chances in a game, the game will turn out amazingly. If they choose to not put time into the game then there is no reason in even making it. If the game is actually going to have options and creating your own such and such, it will be amazing. Also, I was hoping that they would make it so you could save over time, and the games would take a while each time. Just my personal thoughts.

I think if, BTPTB, Bethesda Software got the rights to the game,

it.
would.
be.
mindblowing.

If any of you have played Fallout 3 (if not- DO IT NOW.), it shows that Bethesda has everything it needs to create the perfect Hunger Games VG. Incredible graphics, massive terrain, beautiful attention to detail, a great combat generator (I don't know how well V.A.T.S. would work in a THG VG, though. FPS might be better.) and the ability to write and animated really amazing storylines and characters.

I can't decide whether it would be better as an MMORPG or a single-player game. I think a really great platform for it would be xBox live (or something similar to it.) where you would have the option to either play against 23 CP or link up to a server of 23 randomly selected PCs and battle it out.

although it would be extremely difficult to program everything to do a wide variety of things, based on randomization and the way everything can change with one reaction; the Training center and how you get a training scores, and how you talk to people making the difference between an inseparable alliance and bitter enemies, and anything that falls down the middle; it would be FRIGGIN WORTH IT. seriously i would pay $100 dollars for it.

I think if they made it like Sims 3, then you'd have a lot of possibilities- maybe Sims castaway all over again. This could be awesome, but maybe if they incorporated multiplayer stuff like in Wolf Quest, they could achieve something pretty cool.

Note: Those are just examples of games I play, I'm sure there are plenty more like them.

I think another interesting take on the Hunger Games as a video game could be as a multiplayer lobby-based matchmaking action type game, where you have a server with 24 slots and they fill with user generated charries. If Bethesda picked it up, it could turn out excellent. Of course, VATS is proprietary to the Fallout brand, and prolly wouldn't do well in this setting, but there would be a ton of excellent things to do with an online game.
