How would you adapt IT into a game?

How would you adapt IT into a game?

Adapt what into a game?

something like Alien isolation probably

Nah. Alien isolation style wouldn't work because pennywise always knows where you are

IT

What's it? What are you referring to? Be more specific!

Make it into a Persona like game about building up the Losers Club and making them strong enouth to kill it.

god this nigger is scary as fuck. Great character design I give them props.

That actually sounds cool.

Fucking IT!

Can you even make a game without using IT somehow?

Wouldn't just make it into Stand by me?

pennywise is meant to use a characters greatest fear against them. how would that work in a video game? it's not like the game can know your fear. it could just put in generic scary stuff but then it's garbage.
wouldn't work.

Tell me what it is you want to adapt

Silent Hill 4, replace Walter with Pennywise.
Same goes for a Nightmare on Elm Street Game.

Kind of a dumb criticism dude.
You might as well say the same for the book.
Just because you don't share the fear the characters have dosin't mean it cant be scary.
Clowns don't scare me and I love Pennywise.

Drink Ayahuasca, ask to face your fears, shit brix
More immersive than video games

>how would that work in a video game?
Exactly as you describe. Make well-written and developed characters, and make scenarios around what they fear.

>well-written and developed
>IT

Something like Friday the 13th but instead of chasing people down as Jason, you ghost around and isolate them with lures and illusions, making them go 'missing' from the other players. Not so sure how to go beyond that.

Fair enough

A sandbox game in the vain of Destroy All Humans where you play as Pennywise

You play as the balloon. Never able to influence the turn of events, always just observing the obscene cruelties the children suffer.

Make it player team vs enemy like left 4 dead/evolve, or alternatively, like the Friday the 13th game

>You play as the balloon. Never able to influence the turn of events, always just observing the obscene cruelties the children commit

>>You play as the balloon. Never able to influence the turn of events, always just observing the obscene cruelties the children commit to the balloon

...

Yu yu Hakusho

Not a bad idea

Would have to appear to the character as a fear they have, which would have to be pre established

As a VR child orgy simulation.

Point and click adventure game. Takes place in an alternate version where the losers club lost and were murdered by Pennywise. You play as a detective working on the missing persons case.

Anyone got the sewer Todd with fallout 4? I require it for my collection.

>play as pennywise
>have to kill as many kids as possible until you have to go back into hibernation
>scaring them makes the xp you earn multiply
>open mission areas like hitman
>some big set pieces, like the ironworks disaster or black spot fire
>upgrade new abilities with xp like new monster forms and shit
>some kids have an epic rarity where they are immune to most of your skills and can fight you
>if you lose you have to fight the turtle in a turn based duel, if you lose to the turtle you have to restart
>va is clips from tim curry in the miniseries

The game analyzes the player's reactions to various scares, in order to teach pennywise. If there is something foreboding ahead, the "fear factor" is gauged by how slowly the player approaches it. If it is a jumpscare, the event is scored based on how erratically the player moves (better when using a mouse). Pennywise will start as a clown, but begin taking on the forms of the highest scoring scares. For example, if the player moves real slowly if there's something like a zombie ahead, but acts fearless with a spider, pennywise will start looking more zombie-like.
The effect of this will be that the player becomes desensitized to this kind of horror, and the game (and by extension, pennywise) will struggle to come up with new scares. This follows what the kids experienced, slowly hardening up and learning to face their fears.

Sneak King but with murder. All the fun would come from being Pennywise and tormenting the kids around Derry.

>takes place across centuries
>go through all of the book's greatest hit
>final arc is against the loser's club
>first as children
>then as adults
>alternate noncanon ending where you kill them and go back to sleep
It could be seriously fun.

Go around constantly setting traps and corrupting townspeople over the course of centuries. Children under the influence of the turtle can randomly invade your lair and send you into hibernation.

Idk but I would make sure there's a nude mod for bevy

I want to see chapter 2 NOW!

Worked for Silent Hills

Tim Curry's Pennywise looks more creepy but I think that Bill Skarsgård did a good job and way exceeded my expectations.

Bill is a better Pennywise and understands the character better,
You could of made Tim's Pennywise a normal child killer and not much would change Bill's Penny felt like a legit monster in clown makeup.

Post the Todd version

Oh nevermind

...

>Make him into a boss in Castlevania
>He transforms into other bosses
>His area simulates graphical glitches
A level in Bloodlines did that but I can't remember which.

Putting Todd's face over Pennywise is uncannily fitting.

>IT as a galge

Zing!

You'd have to have some kind of system in place for the game to determine what scares you. Obviously it can't be 100% accurate, but you could have the basics, ie. Clowns, spiders, aliens, etc, and have Pennywise appear in those forms. Something kind of along the lines of what Silent Hill Shattered Memories did, where looking at/interacting with certain things in the environment was supposed to affect what the monster looked like. But you know, have it work.

Nah, a turn-based RPG wouldn't be a good fit for It. But I like where your head's at. Maybe more along the lines of Mass Effect 2/3, with the team building and loyalty missions and the galactic readiness system.

Fact: there has never been a good horror game
Horror is a genre for young teenagers, anyone more mature than that finds horror offensive.

>Mature
Sounds like you just have a stick in your ass. When you read, watch or play something horror, you're supposed to suspend disbelief and let it scare you.

If you're just going to 'touch guy' through it. It's your time wasted.

...

I'd basically take Silent Hill Shattered Memories, replace the hordes of enemies with one specific It and make the ice/nightmare/runaway sections look identical to the walking sim sections so you'd never know when It was about to strike.

Also more psych analysis and pseudo-personalisation (oh, you're scared of humanoid figures with unnatural proportions? Gee, how unique!)

I like this

>you will never be in the orgy in the sewers
Why live.

Behold.
The most boring man on Earth.

Asymmetric multiplayer game

>"And here we have our sons room..."

ARE YOU STILL MY LITTLE GIRL?

How does it feel knowing the greatest film ever made is a horror film?

>that neo turd clown
>IT
pick one

Fuck of Tim Curry fag.
Tim's great but he's not Pennywise.

end youself

Would make a good survival horror like Friday the 13th. Just make players the kids trying to escape from him.

...

y u always thinking about "touching guys" bro?

Your not?

t. didn't read the book

>could of
>liking nu-pennywise better
underage detected

Tim Curry is the better Pennywise.
Bill is the better IT, the actual creature that uses the Pennywise persona.

Discuss.

What a boring piece of shit. Movie could have been redeemed if the main kid actually killed Georgie at the end and it wasn't an illusion.

>Georgie living at least a full year after having his arm ripped off and dragged into the sewers with Pennywise
I;m glad you don't write movies.

>Movie could have been redeemed if the main kid actually killed Georgie at the end and it wasn't an illusion.
Don't cut yourself on that edge.

There is nothing to discuss Bill is better then Tim Curry.
Take your nostalgia glasses off already.

IT

A turn-based RPG is actually a great fit for it. Considering IT's forms, and how it effects individuals. The prep work could consist of desensitizing party members to their fears so IT's forms don't provide debuffs to them. Would work for changing the arena and stuff too. All of that would have way less impact in real time combat. ME2's loyalty and readiness system is pretty similar to how bonds and shit work in Persona anyway.

My not what?

>a bunch of ghost kids all floating endlessly around in a sewer
>believable
>Pennywise keeping Georgie alive for a year
>oh my god so retarded

I feel sorry for your parents user.

Have you read the book? Bill does an excellent job at Pennywise when it breaks the persona and goes full monster on them. However, Pennywise still has to act like a normal clown from time to time and Curry did that part better.

do a heavy rain type game, different people with different story's, and lead them to cross paths. if one of the characters die, then the rest of there section is finished, all characters can die by the half way point. and Pennywise tortures and scars each character in a different way.

It wouldn't work as a video game.

There's a difference between suspension of disbelief and breaking pre-established traits. Pennywise fucking DEVOURS kids to feed himself to go into hibernation. Why in the ever holy of fuck would
A) Pennywise only eat his arm and drag him into the sewers for no reason for a full fucking year
B) Georgie be where Pennywise keeps all of the bodies instead of finding a way out... after a full fucking year

you wish i was in coma maybe i might maybe ill get toriuurted like ugly crazy but ill rest

Believability isn't the issue he had with your shit idea, it was the inconsistency it would have created. Learn how plots and development work.

>what is bait to lure more children

jesus christ you're dumb as a fucking rock, no wonder you enjoyed this meaningless shit fest with no atmosphere or plot lol

Are you ok dude?

great argument.

That would ruin the the whole character development of him facing his fear of accepting Georgie is gone. Plus that's a drastic change from the source material.

Why go to that length when he can transform himself into the bait itself and cut the middleman out? He gets his meal and he has a way to lure others in.

Are you retarded?

You realise he had bait even with Georgie being dead, right? Him being alive wouldn't have served Pennywise's larger goal. It also wouldn't have been consistent with the internal battle Bill had that Pennywise was preying on. You're a dumb cunt regardless of this bait, btw.

Explain yourself. The burden of proof is on you.

>what is bait to lure more children
Literally his fucking powers.

he uses georgie as bait anyway you fucking donkey. of all the things to complain about in this movie, you're complaining about this?

When he sees through pennywises disguise and head shots him it's supposed to signify that he's accepted his brothers death and overcome his greatest fear. The kids then rally behind that. I get what you're saying, but everything afterwards would just fall flat and be pointless.

Wrong reply? I actually enjoy the scene.

I would focus on the child orgy scene.
The goal of the game is to gang bang the girl as many times as you can.

Fucking still cracks me up that it was actually in the book, Stephen King is such a creepy fuck, jesus christ, they should have used his face for teh clown instead of clown makeup.

>gang bang
It was a train you phillistine
