Would a modern remake be a bad idea? It'd be cool to see one last adaptation of this story but I feel like they'd fuck it up somehow
>>722597267Best you can hope for is a faithful fan-remake.
>>722597267>they'd fuck it up somehowthisrather not
There's absolutely zero need for it. It's a point and click game. What good would a "remake" do? Even ignoring the fact that nearly every modern remake is a colossal money-grabbing soulless downgrade and mistake. Why?>inb4 you haven't played it!Finished it last year. Then bought it and will replay it sometime "soon".
I read the short story and enjoyed it and feel superior to all the plebs that had to play a clunky video game to experience it.
>>722600027Then you read both and realise the short story is like a demo; a sliver.
>>722600027The short story is unironically inferior to the game. If you can't be fucked to play it, just watch a longplay
>>722597267>>722599830it's really weird to see people talking about how good the game is when back in the day it got a lot of shit for being incredibly obtuse and turning the story into a comedy
>>722597267Who did you left to live and get tortured for eternity, anons?For me, it was Ellen
>>722600517>obtuseWhich is true, fair, but also typical of usual point and clicks.>comedyWas from the start. It has retarded and goofy themes throughout. Some routes/characters more than others. The idea of a butthurt AI tormenting one individual for the "sins" or wrong-doings of all of humanity alone is retarded. Where have I heard this concept before...
>>722597267The closest you'll get is TADC since it's heavily based on the book
>>722600846>TADCwhich is?
>>722600027The game is completely different to the short story. They both have humans being tortured by a god-like AI named AM but the humans’ personalities and the plot isn’t even remotely similar.
>>722601029The Amazing Digital Circus
>>722601043>humans’ personalities and the plot isn’t even remotely similar.AM is the only interesting part
>>722597267If they can get Nimdoc a better voice actor, and re-implement the scene where Benny eats a baby, sure. Don't think there's much else that needs to be changed from the original game, to be honest.
>>722600027Just play the game. Ellison co-authored it, anyway.
>>722604018AM is what the story revolves around, duh.
>>722604256He also voiced AM, too. Dude's great. I like how he hates his fans.
>>722600517>turning the story into a comedyIn what sense? AM was always an unhinged autist who does nonsensical shit for laughs
>>722604359"fans" are fucking retarded anyway everyone should hate them
>>722600846>lolrandom clown porn show>closest thing to inmFigures zoomers and millenials would be incapable of creating something truly miserable and hopeless
>>722597267I just finished it the other day. It was alright.The nazi mission was a bit ham fisted on the jew stuff.
>>722597267>Would a modern remake be a bad idea?Yes. And even if it turned out decent enough, it would be subject to lots of idiocy and pedantry coming from every side of the political spectrum.
>>722600846>impyingGooseworx definitely doesn't understand the story and I heavily doubt he even played the game
>>722597267I don't want one. The pixel graphics and 90s beep bop OST give it a unique atmosphere that can't be replicated with current standards.
>>722600757I don’t think the game is fun.
I think they should've went with Harlan's original suggestion to make it unbeatable
>>722600846>>722601076how bad is that
>>722597267>a modern remakefuck no, but a different take on the original short story in the same medium COULD be interesting (but would most likely still suck)
AM is literally me.
HATE sex with AM
>>722606675>AM willingly look like the human he hates bad offmodel art
>>722604359He was all for being an enthusiast about something, but he really hated the idea of mindless "fandom", not just for himself, but for everything.
>>722600846>TADCdude stop
>>722607031AM wishes he had a body... he's as jealous of humans as he is hateful
>>722607461nice fanfiche has a body and its giganticthe only thing he wishes is more torture to his hostages
>>722607591>he doesn't media literate
>>722597267Ellison was the only one capable of doing his own work justice as far as I'm concerned.
Stop humanizing AMThat is AMphobic
>>722604507>clown porn showthe show doesn't sexualize Pomni at all. >>722605318Community sucks and it does have some moments that make it clear the creator is an ex-tumblr user but it is really good. Episode 1 tells you enough to know if you'll like it or not
>>722597267who would win, AM or skynet?
>>722608351i read>He organises daily adventures to keep the humans entertained, which results in unintended psychological tormentis that actually real or just minimal/aJoke?>sexualize Pomnithat is all i seen of it> episodes 6guess i can give it a watch soon
>>722608175No... he deserves to get what he wants
>>722597267Harlan Ellison is dead so there would be nobody to tell them they are doing it wrong.
>>722597267I think it should be left alone, because the original had the benefit of Harlan Ellison actually coming onboard to write it, as an expanded version of his original story.What we should be doing, is getting more adaptations like that. Let (good) authors be involved closely with adaptations of their work.
>>722601076shut the FUCK up, faggot
>>722606675Nothing against fanart like this, but making him a generic TV head is booooring. AM should look as crazy and awful as he sounds.
>>722597267So long as they didn't touch the story or voice acting, considering Harlan's 6 feet under, I think you could update the interface and gameplay to make it a bit more palatable.
>>722600846>The closest you'll get is TADCGrim
Today I saw a Chinaman. Now, what do you suppose THAT means?
AM unironically did nothing wrong
>>722614074He was just a sensitive young man...
>>722608445AM can never "win" by its own nature but it would destroy Skynet in a conflict between the two. AM's tech was so advanced it was borderline magic.
>>722608445Skynet is basically an AM copycat.
>>722600027least retarded book reader
>>722597267Yes
>>722605245it basically is
>>722605318it's like the opposite of IHNMAIMS, it's ridden with cliche and pointless drama
>>722597267I personally would permit it but only and ONLY if you can hear this at some pointhttps://voca.ro/1nz2LoG2Z8I2
>>722615982It's also animated by a colossal faggot.
>>722611456this. it works so much better aesthetically at the start of IHNMAIMS where you see am as a black rock with words of burning hate etched into it
>>722613778i played this game like 3 times and i still don't remember what that means
>>722605245This was a rare case of Harlan being too deferential to someone. Cyberdreams only wanted the game beatable because they were afraid anyone who bought the game would be pissed if they effectively couldn't "win" the scenario, but the game would've been way more interesting if you couldn't kill AM.
>>722616068kek
>>722600027this but a youtube videomy iq is 2 points higher after that
>>722616249Probably referring to the Chinese AM
>>722597267You already know the answer.
I have no bute, but I must shite
