Ted the Poster Posted February 28, 2004 Report Posted February 28, 2004 RUMOR #3: A game version of the hit Fox series 24 is being developed. Source: The BBC's Radio One. The official story: Fox reps did not return calls. What we heard: Elisha Cuthbert , the Canadian actress who plays Kim Bauer on 24, recently appeared on the government-run, pop-culture-centric radio network to promote her new movie The Girl Next Door, in which she plays an ex-porn star...(deep, thoughtful pause.) Er, anyway, during an interview Cuthbert let slip that a 24 game is in the initial stages of development. "They're very early on in the process with the story, characters, ideas," she said, commenting its plot will be "very [James] Bond-ish, I think." Business-wise, a 24 game would make perfect sense. On the verge of finishing its third season, the show has never been as popular, and, like Alias, its intense suspense would be perfect game fodder. And, hey, they made two Law & Order games, didn't they? Bogus or not bogus?: If they can turn Jerry Orbach into a game hero, Kiefer Sutherland should be a cinch. Not Bogus. Source: Gamespot As much as I would love to believe this, I need a little more proof- as in a comment by Fox or maybe a screenshot- before I do the Frenchy Dance.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 This would be interesting. Id like to see how they pull the real time aspect off without completely making the game boring.
the max Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 It'd have to be a constant timer, but that would require a lot of quick thinking. Unless they abandon the timed aspect of it, which wouldn't make any sense at all. I'd love a 24 game though.
Ted the Poster Posted February 29, 2004 Author Report Posted February 29, 2004 What about 24 hours=24 levels, each consisting of four stages where each has to be beaten in fifteen minutes or less? Oh, and I want to see play-determined scenarios/endings, dammit!
caboose Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 If the game is as boring as the TV show, I'll take a pass.
El Gigante Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 A 24 game would be great, I hope they go through with it.
Guest OctoberBlood Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Would be nice if EA made it like the new Bond game.
Karnage Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 If there is a game, I bet it would be another stealth game.
Guest El Satanico Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 The creators of True Crime: Streets of LA should do this game. That game engine with some tweaks to make it fit with the subject matter, would work well for a 24 game.
