Well for one thing Walking Dead is also based on a comic book series, not just a tv show. Also, TWD is set in a post apocalypse world with the undead everywhere. Means there is a LOT of opportunities for action set pieces and all that. Breaking Bad couldn't do that as well.

People who make sense? Fair enough then. 

They should make another Sopranos game, its wonderfully scripted so it would automatically be an awesome game.

People take source material or an idea and whether it is good or not matters greatly on whether they executed it well or not. Breaking Bad is simply excellent source material, and as you'll see with the last 2 episodes it will become even better source material for a videogame. You're just incredibly ignorant.

I agree with this completely.

[QUOTE="Meta-Gnostic"] So Walking Dead Telltale game was a cash grab with inferior writing to the tv show... keep talking out your ass. You're also ignoring the fact that the writers of Breaking Bad could sign on to write the game's story.Hallenbeck77

I can't comment on the quality of the writing on The Walking Dead game or show because I've not the chance to play or watch either of them. I do know that aside from the comic it's based on, there's a lot of merchandise from it--toys, shirts, what have you, so it seems like just another way to make money off the license. However, a game for that would work because it's much more easier to expand beyond the central storyline--a group of human survivors try to cope and deal with the onslaught of an undead apocalypse. There's so many ways to tell multiple stories and use characters that's not be in the original source material. In a way, it's almost expected, because it's a genre show. There's almost unlimited directions you can go with works in the horror and sci-fi genre

It's much more difficult to do so with something like Breaking Bad because from a storytelling standpoint, it's a drama that focuses mainly on one central character--Walter White--and the consequences that he and the people in his life face when he decides to cook meth as a way to financially support his family. That story is almost at an end with only two episodes remaining. The main question is: How do you have the writers properly expand on that story with a video game in a way that isn't possible with just a regular episode?

It would still make a crap video game. Just wouldn't happen.

As for the show itself. I have the first season on dvd and it was ok but its nowhere near Wire or Sopranos level. I'll wait a long time before I push myself through the other seasons.

None.  

Making this into a game would just scream cash grab, and would cheapen the writing to what is arguably one of the best shows out there, bar none.

I agree with this completely.

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"] Many times I've sold them for more than I paid. I've purchased games based on disc/cartridge quality since the early 90's, I'm shocked others don't maximize their future value.

No,I buy them because I own a PS3.:?

[QUOTE="Meta-Gnostic"]

Just like the games that sold less on consoles in previous generations, we all know PS3 games will be worth more than 360 games due to there being less copies and Bluray holding up much better to disc damage than DVD. Do you buy PS3 games instead of 360 games because of this?

I keep thinking over and over that Breaking Bad would make a great video game. I could see it being an open-world videogame like GTA with Walt and Jesse as playable characters or they could even go the Walking Dead route and have Telltale make this very story-driven adventure game, or just some linear-based action game. 

I really don't see why the show ended so soon. A game would be a great way to make the show live on for much longer. What kind of game would you want Breaking Bad to be?

Jacanuk

What? Breaking Bad is a piss poor show about some girly man who becomes "powerfull" because he can deal drugs.... drugs that actually destroys other peoples life, destroys kids future ect.

So what kind of game would you make? Scarface is made so if you just want to be a drugdealer go play that, at least that also have a decent ending where he gets whats coming to him.

Never enjoyed Scarface's characters or story, whereas I love Breaking Bad's characters and story. If you have that already all you need to add is gameplay.

It wouldn't work as an action game, wtf. Walt doesn't kill thousands of weak henchmen like action games/shooters gameplay requires. Every time he kills someone, it's meaningful, which is the absolute opposite of action games.

Adventure is the only correct answer, as it is the only genre that can convey a story in which you don't commit a genocide.

ReddestSkies

First of all, other games work just fine with you killing tons of people. You haven't played Uncharted? That's what a video game involves, some things that are there for the game itself. Ever play a FPS that has autoregenerating health? Wait, no that would mean the game can't be made.

Walt doesn't have to do all the killing. Have you forgotten the other characters from the show that kill people? Have you considered that the game wouldn't be about solely about killing people? Have you forgotten about who Walt has become where he puts hits out on his closest allies, poisons children, carries around an assault weapon in the final episodes? Who knows what he'll do with it.
