    I'm not sure about Highlander.  I just can't see thousands of time-traveling "highlanders" running around.

    Mad Max and Tron would be good MMOs though.

    Highlander, there can be only one, modern day saga....

     

    if they add things like time travel and offworld teleportation....  and create a homeworld based on RLC game, then we have a serious contender

    Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)

    Lorien said it should not be done. And since the first ones respect him so shall we. I know, I know.. we told them to "get the hell out of here" but still... Respect the memory.

    Out of this list, Mad Max. Furthermore, yeah Dune, a game based on jodorowsky's dune for example. 

     

    Furthermore: The Dark Chrystal, Caligula and bladerunner would also make good backgrounds for mmo's.

    I am astonished that no one has mentioned Avatar yet.  Not at all my favorite movie, I just expected to see it mentioned by the 2nd or 3rd poster.

    Mine are mostly TV series -- Babylon 5, Farscape and Doctor Who.  I don't know about anyone else, but the idea of playing a Cyber-Centauri named Scorpious might be too much for me.

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    I would love to see a well-done Dragon Ball Z MMO.

    You know there was one in development for a hot-minute years and years ago, very quickly evaporated to vapor. I'm not talking about the more recent kickstarter one that had like 3 backers (and I assume was just a obvious scam). This was during the 90's.

    Stargate SG-1 ... Oh wait that got canceled

    Matrix movies ... Oh wait that got canceled

    Mad Max ... Oh wait that got canceled (Auto-duel)

    Transformers  ... Oh wait that got canceled

    Terminator and Tron, yes... the rest, no.  Unfortunately, as much as I love Terminator, I'm afraid it would end up being little more than a killfest.
  • ZandilZandil Member UncommonPosts: 252

    Highlander is a good choice

    Dune would be up there for me

    No thanks. I don't want the class I play (or even magic I use) to determine the gender of my character.

     

    You really didnt read the books did you? Or quit like 3 books in?

    a well made mmo about it would be great. Schools would act as factions for pvp, and it has a vast fantastic world for PvE. But you know, it can also be very easily ruined if the company focuses on the wrong things.

    I would love a Dune MMO too. I doubt anyone would be able to make something with any depth, but a few weeks of flying thopters and getting in knife fights would be pretty cool.
