SPECULATION Supposed official Twin Peaks video game

Here's that game I was talking about btw

Since a lot of actors are dead, they can still be bought back in the video game format. Live action still has the uncanny valley.

And, of course, characters can appear at different ages. There's room to tell a stories before, between and after the various Twin Peaks eras.

There’s a thread for that, too.

TWIN PEAKS VIDEO-GAME!

Sorry if this was already posted elsewhere, I runned a quick search and didnt seem like it was:

tulpaforum.com

Maybe we should merge them.

I played the game on my steam deck. Lovely game

Just popping in to say I don't want this.

I'm not a gamer. I haven't owned a console since the original PlayStation. I'll likely never play this anyway, but I'd be interested to see what they do with it and what platform(s) it's on. It would be a very Lynch thing to continue the saga on a completely different platform.

But it's also a shooter. I'd really hate to see a TP shooter.

The “Siege At Dead Dog Farm!” level would be about the only level in this hypothetical game.

Excuse my puerile sense of humour and mediocre Photoshop skills!!

I'm sure most here know about this but I figured it'd be fun to share: The City of Absurdity: David Lynch's Woodcutters from Fiery Ships

I'd be interested if Lynch was majorly, directly involved, but I don't think that would happen. Like others have said, I just don't want a diluted version of Twin Peaks as some sort of IP machine. I like how controlled the whole thing is. It has integrity.

Same here. It might be an unexpected statement, seeing as many view the ancillary material as nonessential, but I'd say TP is my favorite multimedia franchise (in direct comparison to Star Wars and the like), and is pound for pound at a uniquely, consistently high quality.

It's interesting that it's always been kept "in the family" to a degree. As it stands an overwhelming amount of the series proper is handled by the core duo--and a great deal of the written tie-ins trusted to relatives.

According to Frost, no one can make a narrative entry for Twin Peaks without him and Lynch agreeing to it. He said the only thing they don't have control over is merchandise.

He was talking films and TV specifically in that context but I'm sure it applies to books and video games, too.

I'd be interested to know, given gaming is a vastly bigger industry than movies, if a modern computer game counts as merchandise or an actual medium now. They days when you could slap a TV series name on a generic game to sell copies are long gone. Ever since The Matrix, we've had games that are part of wider franchises. Look at the Arkham Batman series for example, which runs through games, comicbook and an animated movie (which was substantially borrowed from for the Suicide Squad film.)

Yeah this is an interesting thing for me. Like they made a Ghostbusters game with all four Ghostbusters voicing their characters, based on a story apparently by Dan Aykroyd, except for some repeated bits from the previous films (the library, the hotel, Stay Puft), it's essentially a third movie, but it seems there wasn't much excitement over it because it's a video game. Which I kind of get, but when I was playing it I was just like "I can't believe this exists!" I should pick that back up again.

The Arkham comics are fun, and also the comics based around Injustice, the DC fighting game, are really great. I like binged thousands of pages in a few days, couldn't put it down. Great popcorn entertainment but also really well observed character writing. Everything felt dead on.

 

[MasterMastermnd]

That's a good point. I just picked that Ghostbusters game up for Nintendo Switch a few years ago and had a lot of fun with it. Nowhere near the same cultural imprint as the first two, however.

The images of Audrey and Donna actually resemble an African doll from Juba (South Sudan) given to my parents the better part of 40 years ago!

That poster makes me sad that we never got an over the top foreign rip off of Twin Peaks, similar to Turkish Star Wars or Indian Nightmare on Elm Street.

There probably is one that we simply don't know about!!

Deadly Premonition might be as close as we got
