Doctor Who <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I have made it clear on every social media platform, podcast, and any other place I am on that I love Doctor Who. Both classic (1963-1989) and New Who (2005 – present). Technically there has been an episodic Doctor Who adventure game made during the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who and frankly it wasn’t as good as it should have been. Telltale’s decision mechanic would have made it fantastic as it had episodes written by actual Doctor Who writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is even a perfect point in the Doctor Who canon where an episodic game could fit into the mythos. That is the period between the last episode of Classic Who “Survival” where it ends with my personal favorite, the seventh Doctor as played by Sylvester McCoy and his assistant Ace as played by Sophie Aldred walking off onto their next adventure with The Doctor saying the following: “There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, the sea’s asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there\u2019s injustice, and somewhere else the tea’s getting cold. Come on, Ace \u2014 we\u2019ve got work to do!” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s also the fact that once that episode ended we as an audience didn’t see the Seventh Doctor until 1996 where he would be forced to regenerate due to an issue with the anesthetic and turn into Paul McGann who you may recognize from such films like Alien 3 and Queen of the Damned. There is a documentary about what Series 27 would have looked like called “Doctor Who: Endgame” and an episodic game series would fit the series perfectly. It would also give mainstream Whovians a proper farewell to the Seventh Doctor and Ace that could be canon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emmett Watkins Jr – PlayStation Head<\/strong> While Telltale is most loved for their more serious stories, such as The Walking Dead <\/em>and The Wolf Among Us<\/em>, it might be easy to forget how pleasant of a surprise Tales from the Borderlands<\/em> was. What was once a franchise known primarily for its wacky, nonsensical tone meant to backdrop the satisfying gameplay was turned into a gripping narrative with real stakes and relatable characters. Telltale seemed to have had a unique talent for making the ridiculous accessible, and I think that talent would be perfectly served by adapting the Saints Row universe into thier formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are plenty of crazy franchises that could be adapted, but Saints Row seems a specifically great fit due to the dichotomy between the tone of it’s first games and latter ones. The first two games were gritty and grounded, gang related crime dramas that carried its emotional weight through character moments more than setpieces. But by the third title, the game shifted from grounded seriousness to a bombastic, over-the-top tone that only grew stronger in the fourth game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/losharrow.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/03\/doctor_who_logo_7.jpg\"){kind=logo}

Friday the 13th<\/i><\/strong>![](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vgu.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/images.jpeg?resize=300%2C168&ssl=1\")
I’ve been saying it for a long time and it only made me shout it louder after Until Dawn <\/i>released – I wanted Telltale Games to make a choice-driven horror game using the Friday the 13th<\/i> brand.
Each episode could have been the player acting out another camp counselor. The actions of each counselor would affect not only their likelihood of survival, but also the survival of other counselors as well. This could involve being stalled by locations of bodies in certain areas, items being readily available or absent in later episodes, and even if people would be alive in the finale.
I love the horror genre and I especially love slasher flicks. Part of what made Until Dawn<\/i> work was putting yourself in the decision making process as one does when watching those movies. Telltale releasing a game similar to that would have been rad, especially with a beloved horror franchise like Friday the 13th<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
