TMNT RPG

[NeoBix]

they should make an RPG about the boys in green. dont u think lol

[PizzaPower]

hmm, not really.

[NeoBix]

well, alright then...

I think I kinda got shot down there wouldn't ya say lol :goofygri:

[Ecto Jedi]

Uhuh...

[NeoBix]

:cry:

If it's any consolation NeoBix, I agree with you. I think a TMNT RPG would be fabulous. I know I'd pick it up the moment it was released.

[NeoBix]

amen Rahzar, and thanks lol :)

A TMNT RPG would be horrible. Here is why
The new games dont have enough effort put into them for it to work
Who would you play as? Just the Turtles? boring
RPGs have character ranks, editing, name editing, and all kinds of stuff
It would not fit the turtles. Insted you should but City Of Heros and make a Ninja Turtle.
Now a action game with RPG elements like Samurai warriors is MIGHT be possible and would work for sure. You could level up with points or level up period

I think that would actually be really neat.

Remember Super Mario RPG? I can imagine a TMNT RPG working similarly to that, if that might sway your opinion of it a little. ;)

Ya, I totally see where you are coming from, Spitfire, and that type of action RPG based on TMNT would be awesome, no doubt. But, I think Rahzar's idea about doing a solid, straight-up RPG would be sweeeeet.

Like Rahzar pointed out, Mario RPG worked out great. At first, I didn't think they could pull off an RPG with Mario, and then I played it and I thought "Wow, this game is actually really good!"

So, game designers can sometimes surprise us with how they make a game... sure, we get some crappy turtles games... but maybe it's because sometimes the designers don't get to design the games exactly like they want to... like they THINK it should be done.

I think, if a team of hardcore TMNT fans AND a team of contemporary game designers sat in a room and brainstormed for a few years, they could come up with an outstanding TMNT RPG... they could make it good, but the question would be, would they spend enough time on it to make it good? Probably not if they ever made one, lol, but that's wishful thinking for ya.

An RPG could go eighter way. Realy cool, or fail miseribly. I'd hope for it to be realy cool. And, They do not have to follow the format of the new show...They could delve a bit into the comics mythologies and create a nicely done blended mythology for their game....But...It still could go eighter way. I'd like to see a good one, But we'd probably get the Blah one. You never know though....

[NeoBix]

precisely, nightwalker!

How about an MMORPG, without monthly fees, that would have a CoH-like character creating thingy, allowing you to (theortically) create any character (mutant or otherwise) you could think of.

For practical reasons, it'd be set in the old toon/Archie reality (where mutants are plentiful) with as much stuff from the Mirage comics thrown in as possible.

Main characters such as the Turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Shredder, Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady, Leatherhead, Rat King, etc. would be NPCs (maybe even bosses), and while you could create characters identical to them, it would be encouraged that you do otherwise.

The Foot (both robot and humans), mousers, gang members (including Purple Dragons), the robots Shredder used to capture the rhino and warthog so he could make Bebop and Rocksteady and didn't really ever appear again but were in the old games, and other similar characters/things could serve as standard enemies.

And you would be able to join with other players to form clans/guilds/gangs, which could then ally themselves or be enemies with other clans/guilds/gangs. Or you could simply join a few of your friends in a more standard "party", or go solo....

A man can dream, can't he? :(

[NeoBix]

JDavis... GREAT idea!!! Like EverQuest, or World of WarCraft... only in the TMNT universe... that would rule so much.

Actually there was only one thing you said that I didn't think was such a good idea and it was how you can make identical characters to shredder, Bebop & Rocksteady, etc...

Instead, I think you should be able to make SIMILAR characters... for example, a person can make a character who starts as a ninja assassin and slowly builds up a gang and starts an underground crime element in New York City (similar to shredder).. and you can even get armor and weapons to look similar to your favorite characters.

Another example would be... since you can't BE Leonardo or the other turtles, they could act as quest-givers... basically NPCs who can send you on missions and stuff. So, you could start a character that is a mutant turtle who wants to become a ninja, and so you go and talk to Leonardo and he fills you in on some training quests you can do to become a ninja turtle. I can just imagine the combinations you could have with a game like that... limitless... truly limitless

Unfortunately... as you said JDavis.. a man can dream, but this is one dream I really doubt will come true. :cry:

why can't u play as people other than the tmnt??? there's casey, zog, splinter, even april!!!!! and the tmnt could very well level up......maybe not with magic type attacks but with hit strength and new ninja abilitiey....heck the TMNt could use things like "art of invisibility"....in fact all moves could be called "the art of...."the only thing would be name editing....that would kinda suck....unless u are a character who befriends our jolly green teens....
