You guys need to make a Jaws game.

edited December 2011 in General Chat
During my nap i had a dream of you guys making a Jaws game. You played as the officer guy and you had to investigate the killings on the beach. The more clues you got the more closer you got to finding the shark. And each episode is based off the movie's. And the third one would be in Orlando Florida. I really wish you guys could make this happen. Ive been wishing for an AWESOME Jaws game since i saw the movie. And i trust you guys can do that.

    How about an adventure game where, much like the last JAWS game, you play as the shark...

    Use TEETH on FISH
    Use TEETH on HUMAN LEG
    Use TEETH on HUMAN ARM
    Use TEETH on SCREAMING HUMAN HEAD
    Use TEETH on GAS CANISTER

    ...So much variety.

    The plot could revolve around you playing as the Great-Great-White-Nephew of the original shark from JAWS, who is suffering from depression following your family members demise at the hands of the Brody family. In between regular visits to Sebastian the Therapist Lobster, you must travel half way across the world and track down the last suriving Brody and exact revenge upon him.

    Micheal Caine could voice the shark.

    Use BOAT on JAWS.

    "I'm going to need a bigger boat for that."

    I bet the shark would still look fake.

    Pick up FLIMSY DOCK. Combine FISHING LINE with HUNK OF MEAT. Combine FLIMSY DOCK with BAITED FISHING LINE. Use FLIMSY DOCK with SEA. Use FLIMSY DOCK with SHARK. Use LAND. Use LAND. Use LA - Combine YOU with SHARK. GAME OVER.

    use CASUAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS MARINE SAFETY with TOURISTS

    use BAT SHARK REPELLANT with SHARK

    I'm a fan of both the nes Jaws game and the Jaws Unleashed game where you play as the shark.

    Now, I know sandbox isn't everything. But when it comes to a jaws game I would verymuch like an open world game but I would like to play as a human goes looking for the shark. I see it playing out like the NES game but better of course. You start off with a cheap boat with cheap equipment. As you explore underwater you find items and treasure that you can sell for more equipment for you boat like the chair with the big fishing pole on it, a shark cage, or a tracking device.

    The story would have it where there's a lot of sharks in the area because of new underwater expirements going on (like in Jaws Unleased.) You start off hunting and killing off the smaller sharks while also running into the bigger "jaws" shark from time to time. The game ends when you hunt down the last shark which would be the giant sized one.

    but that's just me.

    Ooohhhhhh, epic! I can almost visualize the shark amongst the black and white text.

    Look out! It'll kill you with its killer teeth of 1's and 0's!

    While amusing, I doubt this would result in all that engaging gameplay :D

    Especially considering the each episode would feature a shark (duh) as the bad guy, the only real difference there between the episodes would be the shark predictably getting larger in each episode... starting out as a large but realistic looking shark in the first episode and ending up as a ridiculously huge beast in the last one.

    On the subject of what not to do, please don't make Sam & Max Vs Guybrush Vs JAWS...

    No, scrap that. Do make Sam & Max Vs Guybrush Vs JAWS. It'll be epic and it most defiantly won't anger any fans.

    USE Max on FISHBAIT
    USE Max-O-Bait on FISHING POLE
    USE FISHING POLE on Guybrush
    LOOK AT Sea
    SEE Fin
    CAST FISHING POLE on SEA
    USE Max FIST on JAWS
    REEL in Max attached to JAWS
    MAKE Guybrush do HAPPY DANCE

    while a Jaws video game is something that I've always wanted to see, I don't think TellTale could pull it off.

    I'd buy a Jaws game...if we could play as the shark.
    *trollface*

    Though a Jaws game would rock.

    The only lack of variety is in the VERB command. Replace "USE TEETH" with "CLICK ON" and you have the same VERB ON start-up as 95% of the puzzle solutions in Back to the Future.

    I think what we're trying to say, OP, is that while Jaws is awesome, it's not really a great adventure game franchise. I'm not really sure what kind of puzzles Chief Brody could solve that would lead him to the shark short of use CHUM in OCEAN.

    OK, so if a point-and-click aadventure game isn't going to work, how about "NATHAN BRODY: PUZZLE SHERRIFF"

    "Rearrange all the swimmers so that the shark will go straight past them all. The shark only travels in straight lines, but turns around when it sees.... I dunno, something that sharks don't like"

    Green beans. Sharks simply hate green beans. No wonder really.

    Since Telltale has been doing these movie games with Back to the Future and Jurassic Park, why not a Jaws game? I think it should have the same gameplay mechanics as Jurassic Park: The Game. This time, unlike Jaws:Unleashed we play as the humans against the shark. I think it should either be a prequel or sequel.

    As a prequel:
    * Show the origins of Jaws (perhaps he was genetically engineered?)
    * Tie-in the events of 1916 New Jersey Maneater incidents with the first movie. A German spy accidentally drops some type of chemical in the water and a pregnant Great White swims into it. The baby is then a aggressive maneater killing people. Once the attacks are over it moves to Amity Island and begins breeding with the other sharks.
    * Let us experience what Quint went through on the U.S.S Indianapolis.

    As a sequel:
    * Play as Micheal Brody's son/daughter when all of a sudden another shark attacks Amity Island.

    That is all I can come up with for a sequel. What do you guys think of a Jaws: The Game?

    I want it to be a combination of open world GTA style gaming with Endless Ocean. For the most part you sail about, diving and tracking the shark while also learning about a variety of swimming life. But then you'd have combat portions where you went up against vicious sharks, earning money for bringing in vicious animals. You could then wander around town upgrading your harpoons and buying new ships, as well as hiring new crew with better skills to pilot your ship.

    I already said that they should do a Jaws game, in the Stuff I Would Like To See Telltale Do string, which I started. It's in my list, and two guys said it would be a bad idea. But look at this!
  • edited October 2011
    /string of obscenities

    that's all I got...oh and a promotional tag "If you loved the action and excitement of Oregon Trail, you might also enjoy JAWS: The Game".

    Never mind the fact that they couldn't even milk 2 solid movies out of the premise... NOR any decent video game...why would... wait, those are valid points. I'll stick with those.

    I wonder how that worked.

    "Hey, let's make a game out of the 'Jaws' films. Now, we need a title that riffs off one of the movie titles to draw in purchasers. I know! Let's name it after the worst movie of the series! That'll work!"

    I think they're banking on the idea that most people have completely forgotten that that one existed

    That all sounds very entertaining, but will I have the option to bum a shark in the gob? Because frankly, it's a deal breaker.
