Will they ever make an Angel videogame? Don't know. Maybe someone around here has news on that. I like Chaos Bleeds. I've heard from real gamers that it's relatively lame, but I like. Like the fight moves engine, the story...

They should make an Angel game. Wouldn't even have to advertise much. Just notifity a few websites and word will spread among the fanatics in no time. It's a limited audience no matter what, so...

I think they could use the same engine as Chaos Bleeds. Or the group-dynamic engine of X-Men Legends would be good. I can imagine a scenario where the plot is totally compressed: one level of a game could be a season of the show. Angel&Co dust and eviscerate the baddies and graduate to the next level. So, end of 1st level, they graduate to the Hyperion, stay there for a few levels, then finally graduate to WR&H. Could have Lorne doing sarcastic one-liners over the action. One section could even be in Pylea. They wouldn't have to play the series out exactly, but I think the graduation idea could be cool. I'm just thinking about how Spidey managed to encounter several of his nemeses in that second movie related game of his--very compressed story, still fun.

Or they could just create an epic "missing episode" and that's the thread for the entire game. What's a good Angel videogame scenario for you?



I'm lousy at formulating plots, but just had another idea. It could be sort of a quest game, which is really like what Chaos Bleeds was. This quest would be to find Angel's soul and reensoul Angelus. Team Angel would have to fight off Angelus as well as save Angel.

Or that could be just the first few levels of the game. First reensoul Angel, then Angel&Co have to figure out who's responsible for all the soul-stealing shenanigans and go beat the crap out of them.

I think whatever scenario they use, it must somehow involve zombie gorillas.
 
Aww man! Coolness. A free-roaming Angel game, ala Spidey2 would be just fine as well. Roaming around LA, Gunn style, picking off the vamps.

your vision is karma-worthy!
I don't play video games myself, but just for the heck of it I signed the petition, and gave them your Levels-Seasons idea. 🙂 Was that copyright abuse? If so, sorry about that, it just seemed like such a good idea, I wanted to share it.

1378 Total Signatures so far.
 
Nah, no prob. It's post-mod "appropriation". An homage.

How many folks on this site have signed? We should be able to up that number fairly quickly.
 
You know, if they made it free roaming like Spidey2, it could get really dicey and fun. The sunrises, sunsets in Manhattan seem to happen in 30 minute increments or so"”hard to tell, you lose track of time when you're playing. But that would be yet another challenge for a free roaming Angel. Stay out of the direct sunlight of LA or risk getting dusted.

OK, I say combine the seasons-as-levels story mode with free roaming around LA and we've got a winner!
 
I have always supported the Angel game scenario. As far as gameplay goes though I would MUCH prefer it to be like Spiderman 2 as opposed to Chaos Bleeds.
 
Yeah, the great thing about Spidey2 is the combo: the story/quest mode, combined with the free roam. If they can just make the roaming varied, inventive...

I hope it happens at some point. There are so many obscure pointless games out there. Maybe the licensing cost is the prohibitive factor, not sure. If Angel can just stay out there in geek culture, dvd's, comics...keeping it on people's minds.

Yup it was very 'Fable-esque' in it's 'quests' so to speak...you could pick and choose what you'd do (Pizza delivery is one of my personal faves!!!)

Totally agree it's def a licensing thing ... and now that it's off the air who knows if the PTB will think it viable to put out a video game.
 
I've been thinking this too! It would be awesome if they made it like Final Fantasy. In fact, they should make the last 2 seasons that Angel should have gotten into a video game. That would be cool. That way we could play as all the characters at once.
 
An Angel video game would be really neat!

I liked the idea that was presented about having it be a 'missing' or 'epic' Angel episode. Just having Angel Inc pumelling people and making LA right. It would definitely have to include Illyria, though.
 
Illyria's a must! And LA's a must.

If they had Illyria they could have some weird time warping button like they did in Prince of Persia.

You're a genius! I am so pro free-roaming. The time of day challenge would require alternate underground routes as well which would diversify the settings as well. I also like the mentioned "Gunn mode", pickin off vamps with the old gang. Ooh, I'm already playing it in my mind.
 
Hey, that would be cool, right jayj? Angel would have to wander around the sewers to avoid the sun, put the top up on his convertable. Get some of that special glass from WR&H...
 
I do like the whole 'sun challenge' thing..could be interesting! 😀 Reminds me of the Milton-Bradley board game!
