Twilight MMO in Development

[highlander]

hahahahaha oh man.

You know, I think you people are being unfair. Yes, the books and the film are stupid, trashing all established vampire lore. But we haven't played the game yet and they haven't shown us anything. If there's a quality development team behind this, I think this could actually be a pretty good gaOH GOD I CAN'T DO THIS

You had me going a minute there.

when I read the title I thought you were talking about Twilight Princess. I felt a twinge of intrigue and possible excitement, and then I came into this thread, and felt the life being sucked right out of me -- so to speak.

That would've sucked too.

As long as I can play a girly emaciated white skinned 'vampire' with bouffant hair and a constant look of constipation on my face I'll be happy!!!

Just think of the action - sitting around in a coffee shop/canteen/forest discussing absolutely nothing while frowning and gurning at each other!!"!12"£$!£2331! :bounce:

I find many of the comments rather funny. Thank you all for the LOL's.

People trashing Twilight because it "changes" vampire lore? As if there was such a thing as Vampire Lore in the first place to be changed. Since you all seem to be experts, please tell me what is the correct lore when one is dealing with vampires? Vlad the Impaler? Van Helsing? Ann Rice? Bram Stoker? D&D? Every author that has ever written about Nosferatu has in some way, either small or large changed an aspect of the so-called Vampire lore. If you didn't like the books or the movie, that is totally fine, but stop saying that Twilight's depiction of Vampires is wrong, because you really don't know if it is. Just because you grew up believing it was one way, does not mean that way is correct. For all you, me or anyone knows, Vampires could nothing more than a secret society of little old ladies dressing up in drag & painting their faces white, wearing dentures that have been filed to sharp points. As for the whole blood drinking, one of the little old ladies could have cut her finger on the pit of a peach & some backwards farm boy saw her sucking the blood off her finger & thus the following night had a nightmare about it while sleeping with his favorite chicken.

Really people...

I'll admit that I have all the books in the series & enjoyed reading them. I also enjoyed the first movie & am looking forward to the following movies in the series. Making a game based on the movie, does worry me however. That's a large undertaking. I predict that the game will either be very good, or it will tank really bad, ruining what Twilight has accomplished thus far. I do not believe there will be any middle ground if this game is ever actually released.

Yes, everybody has their own little spin on vampires. But when you miss out on so many of the essentials to what we have established as vampirism, it's something else. I could no more pass off my dog as a cat than these glittering goth rejects could be mythical blood-sucking fiends. Special powers? Reflections? Can't be killed with a stake to the heart? Sparkling in the damn sunlight? You can't be serious. They're not some blank slate that you can make up ****in' anything for. I guess you can still argue that they rules are loose enough that can be the real deal, but it's still going to be watered-down crap.

I could maybe have a little more leeway with these twists if we were talking about a more ambitious novel, but that's not the case. It's teenybop heartthrob slop that wants to use all the brooding sex appeal that attracts young girls to vampires but with none of the dirtier elements. Meyers' vampires are neutered, bastard offshoots that function as nothing more than gloomy boy-toys.

Also, I'm going to make a film about zombies, but eating brains will be fatal to mine. I'll show 'em how to subvert genre!

Did you read the entire series? Just curious.
Their "vegetarian" diet is the root of all their unique changes. *Everyone* ( deep sigh ) knows that..

Can I be in it? Please?

I will concede that there really isn't any completely set vampire lore established to destroyed, but the fact is, most of the time vampires are interesting. Twilight's version of vampires are utterly boring, stupid, and friendly. The whole premise of the ****ing books is a girl falling in love with a bad guy. ****ing right. Having read the books (I'm not proud to admit it), I can safely say that any one who thinks Edward isn't a lil' school boy bitch and honestly believes any character is in any danger from him, is a moron. They're not dark, they're not conflicted, they're not compelling, they're just annoyingly stupid characters with super powers.
