Don't let the cancellation of Obsidian's Aliens RPG get you down! There are other movie franchises out there that would support a good single player RPG, and it's time to voice our opinion on which one we'd like to see next. For the sake of originality, I've left off any franchises that have already spawned an RPG in the past.

Maybe Star Trek, but none of the other titles scream 'game-material' to me.

The Marx Brothers' Paramount films. No question.

I said Star Trek, simply because its got such a huge universe compared to the others.

Star Trek, of course. There are so many games in this universe, why don't create an RPG? Come to think of it, it's really strange that there are no Star Trek RPGs so far. Or am I wrong?

I voted for the Godfather. We've seen all sorts of space RPGs. A mafia-themed RPG could be fun.
What the heck is the Dollars trilogy?

I went with "The Godfather," but I was tempted by "Blade Runner."

| | Dollars Trilogy. All the material you need for a mindblowing RPG. Don't even need to make it about the movies, just take the Wild West as a setting. Unbelievable it hasn't been done yet.

I went with "Godfather." A mob RPG could be interesting.

I won't be surprised if any game (be it RPG or whatever genre) that tries to follow it closely step-by-step ends up underwhelming.

The Old West makes all sorts of sense for an RPG, but for whatever reason video game developers rarely go there.
That being said... Quote:

Since it was a space-based RPG, that means all space-based RPGs will obviously suck. Sorry, Star Trek voters.

I voted for The Matrix. That universe could be as big as youīd want it to be. And itīs not like we havenīt seen futuristic RPGīs with superpowers before, like, say, Kotor.
