| Fusioncode said: The whole idea of this game bugs me. It's supposed to be connected to the TV show, but what if the show has horrible ratings and gets cancelled after two episodes? What happens to the game then. The whole project in general just seems far too ambitious for Remedy to pull off. I don't consider them a very talented studio. |
The show will not get cancelled because it will not have ratings. It will most probably be a XBox Exclusive show you'll be able to watch over XBL. Also, since the entire game will (most likely) be released at once, and not episodically like TellTale games, it means that the entire show will be available immediatelly (like Netflix' House of Cards).
I see the play they are trying to make - Hoping that people end up liking it, they plan to make more seasons of the show, and of course turn the game into an annual franchise (with sepaprate titles or DLC).
This is where I'm pessismistic. I doubt that the TV show will be great. It will be mediocre-to-decent at best. And even if it turns out to be fantastic, I don't see remedy being able to keep up with it by providing a new game annually.
But, we have seen very little of the game, and have learned only the basic premises of the entire concept. And that's why I'm sceptical, and why I believe that it will disappoint many people in the end.
