Xbox One Novel turned into a game?

[diamondback8]

So I talked about comics and manga being turned into a game. So, how about novels? Know any novels worth turning into a game?

A novel worth turning into a game huh? Hmmmmm.... this is going to be hard. I'll uhm, get right back to you. Let me shuffle through some novels I know of.

most of the novels in my mind are those novels that are mostly with people talking. I'm trying to think of the ones with action but then they're boring as the action scenes are few and far.

I honestly can't thing of any novels that can be made into a game. I may have to look over some novels that I have. Well I collect some of them science fiction novels. I have quite a few but I don't thing any of them can be made into a game.

I'm not really into novels but there are some fantasy novels that I read before: The Name of the Wind

The story begins in the rural town of Newarre, introducing the innkeeper Kote and his assistant Bast, and revealing that Kote is the hero Kvothe: an unequaled swordfighter, magician, and musician, rumored to have killed a king and somehow caused the present war. His assistant and student Bast is a prince of the Fae. Kvothe saves Chronicler, a travelling scribe, from spider-like creatures called Scrael, whereupon Chronicler asks to record his story. Upon consenting, Kvothe tells Chronicler that this will take three days (corresponding to the planned trilogy of novels).

Kvothe begins his story in his childhood amongst the Edema Ruh, a troupe of traveling performers, shortly before the troupe acquire the scholar 'Abenthy', who trains Kvothe in science and "sympathy", a discipline of causing changes in one object by manipulating another (a system drawing equally from modern thermodynamics, quantum entanglement, and voodoo dolls). Kvothe also witnesses Abenthy calling the wind to fend off suspicious townspeople and vows to discover the titular "Name of the Wind", permitting this control.

Mistakenly summoned by Kvothe's father Arliden, the mythical "Chandrian" destroy the troupe, leaving Kvothe alive but alone. Heavily traumatized, he spends three years in the city of Tarbean as a street urchin, and later approaches their nation's 'University' to continue his education. En route Kvothe becomes enamored of a talented young woman known as Denna. Kvothe enters the University despite his lack of tuition funds, and performs admirably as a student, but faces continuous poverty and rivalries with the wealthy student Ambrose and the arrogant Master Hemme. Kvothe's research of the Chandrian is marred by a sustained banishment from the University's Archives. Kvothe buys a lute despite his poverty, and performs at a famous musical tavern to earn money, where he also befriends Denna. Hearing reports of blue fire and murder at a rural wedding, he suspects the Chandrian, and visits the site. There, Kvothe and Denna meet a local farmer who reported blue fire, and later a fire-breathing herbivorous draccus, which nearly destroys the local town before slain by Kvothe. At the University, Ambrose taunts Kvothe, who breaks Ambrose's arm by summoning the wind; whereupon Master Namer Elodin accepts Kvothe as an advanced student of his own.

In the inn, the first day ends when a mercenary possessed by a demon attacks the patrons. After the man is killed by a patron, Bast breaks into Chronicler's room and urges him to focus Kvothe on the more heroic aspects of his story, in the hope that Kvothe will abandon his apathy.

This one looks to be a potential game. But yeah, other than that, man... hard to think of novels to be turned into games. Well, Telltale's the one who can make it happen.

I agree, well the have quite a few novels that can be made into a game. Other than that we have other novels as well that were made into games and movies as well (Harry Potter)

Agreed. Telltale's the one who's made games that seemingly aren't supposed to be games. Case in point: The Walking Dead. How can a graphic novel comic, which is dialogue-heavy, become a game? Telltale made it happen.

Makes sense. One more thing, that's one of the best shows in TV and one of the best games.

Someone was talking about Pride and Prejudice and the fact that it has been turned into a video game. I have never played it but I am sure it must be interesting. Another game that has been turned into a video game is The Great Gatsby which has been turned into a game that is very similar to Mario.

Great Gatsby turned into a mario like game? Why not. I think that will be quite interesting.

Mwushahaha. Agreed man. TWD just keeps you hooked on till the very end. And then when some of your favorite characters die, you feel so broken inside! Awesome.

I have to agree. Man I like The Walking Dead more than any series that I've watched.

You hit the note right there, buddy. I agree. The broken inside part is where I feel it. Damn... TWD just knows how to do it, whether it's the game or TV show.

I think it would be more interesting if they can make this available as well on Xbox One as a next gen game. I'd love to play this.

Why not man. Anything can be possible these days. I wish they could see what we have on this forum.

I remember watching a movie just recently, it was a chinese movie: Detective Dee and the mystery of the phantom flame. It was based on a novel written by a chinese guy. I posted a trailer below just so you could get a bigger picture.
