Colombo game in the style of L.A. Noire where you have to point out contradictions in a suspect's words and actions. Gianni Matragrano does the voice. Yea or nay?
it would be a pile of shit you fucking fag
The only mystery you amerimutts can create is your own genetic composition
>>724208389That sounds fine, but you gotta understand that with the game being set in LA it'd be kinda woke. Now I don't really invest myself in it either way but my wife is a big fan of the LGBT community and she says the only way to do it right is more pride parades.
>>724208389Are you marketing it towards 60 year olds?
>>724208620>implying Columbo isn't timeless
>>724208620Japan would like it.
>>724208620Columbo is as relevant today as Mickey Mouse.
>>724208389NayA big part of what makes Columbo interesting is that (You), the viewer, have already been shown exactly what happened and now get to watch Columbo crack the case with a full understanding of WHAT he's figuring outMaking it into a typical whodunnit mystery game would take away what makes it unique, and at that point what's the point of calling it a Columbo game?
>>724208656I've actually never watched it. Is it good? And how old are you?
reminder this is a forced jidf meme because the actor is extremely jewish
>>72420881632the show ran from the 60s to the early 2000s (factoring for hiatuses)not only is it good, but it invented a new kind of mystery show. Instead of a whodunnit, it's howcatchem. The audience already knows who committed the crime, we get to watch as Columbo picks apart the coverup and hoists the culprit by his own petard
I don't think Columbo really works as a game.
>>724209083kys kike
>>724208816It holds up pretty well. It's nothing amazing, but it's a fun show. I'm 37.
>>724209083Cool thanks, I'll check it out fren
>>72420862033 years oldSaw a random rerun for the first time around 2020. The show is great>try to recommend it to others>turns out literally everyone I know has seen it even though I had never heard of it beforehand
>not a game where you run around as Jessica solving murders that actively happen around you while at the same time trying not to get killed
>>724208389Nobody could write a Columbo tier tv episode today let alone a 20 hour game.
>>724208518
>>724209179there are two pilot movies that predate the main series (Prescription Murder and Ransom For a Dead Man) and while they're good on their own, it's clear they're still feeling out the characterso there's nothing wrong with starting at S1e01 Murder By the Book (directed by Steven Spielberg of all people)
>>724208389people will complain about unreal engine asset flip but have no issue with those devs constantly recycling the robert culp 3d model asset baka
>>724209268Apparently Columbo went viral on tiktok for a minute so some zoomers know of him but most probably didn't watch a full episode.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnDe2u5M7e8
>>724208389Columbo game doesn't work because you already know the suspect did the crime by the time columbo shows up. He's not detecting anything he's just fucking with a guy who is on the gallows, basically.
>>724209298>murders that actively happen around youSo many of these detective protagonists are harbingers of death. Idk how these people aren't treated like the clintons
>Columbo>Ironside>Murder She Wrote>Midsomer Murders (early seasons)
>>724209567in Detective Conan, inspector Megure starts dreading seeing Kogoro at crime scenes because he starts thinking the man's a jinx
>>724209526the same applies to Phoenix Wright. You'd still have to put together the evidence against him
I think my favorite episode was the one on the cruise ship since he was totally on his own. There was no "I called the lab boys and blahblahblah". He had to make due with just the resources on the scene and no professional help. It was a nice change of pace.
>>724209298>>724209567Is there a game like this? Where you just show up and everything goes to shit? And people just want you out.
>>724209670I don't get it. N does solve the case in the end.
>>724209896Yeah, Rance
>>724209526Phoenix Wright is like that. You don't get the murderer immediately but pretty early on and most of the time is spent incriminating that one person while they try to deflect to others like your client.A Columbo game could also be different than the show. The show reveals the murderer to the viewer but not Columbo so if the game has you controlling him then it's fair to say you can only have the same information Columbo has.
>>724208389>Gianni Matragrano does the voiceHell no. His impression fucking sucks ass
>>724208898Peter Falk is a good jew
>>724209670>pikachu in the retard squareit's so over gamefreakbros
>>724209301Shu Takumi could do it
>>724209452lmao this exact scene got me to look up columbo and watch literally every episode back in 2012 as i was reading jojo for the first time
>>724208898I mean it's hollywood, anon.
>>724209894For me it's the one about the genius club where he pisses off the villain so badly by saying someone else was intelligent enough to pull off the crime that the guy straight up goes "FUCK YOU, THIS IS HOW HE ACTUALLY DID IT"
>>724209894that one was cool except for the forced 15 minute performance of volare i had to sit through twice when showing the episode to my family
>>724209896Danganronpa
>>724208620Lots of millennials seem to be finding it these days you would be surprised. Good is good forever. t. zoomer who loves the show
>Japanese level
I think a game about this one would be pretty fun
>>724209670Where's Brent Halligan?
>>724209298>After the series finished in 1996, four television films were released from 1997 to 2003.[7][8] Two point-and-click video games were released for PC: one in 2009,[9] and a sequel in 2012.[10] A spin-off book series continues publication as of 2025.
>>724210636sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit ill give this a watch thanks anon
>if you intentionally fail Collumbo still winsLame, literal baby game
>>724208389Wouldn't AA work better for that?
>>724208620It had a revival among millennials and zoomers because of streaming and then becoming a meme.
>>724210686>two point-and-click video games were released for PC:Oh shit, I might check those out>but they might be trashEven bad point and clicks have charm
A lot of David Cage games do that thing where you're playing the suspect and the police at the same time. A Columbo game could work with that as a model.
>>724209896Ace Attorney, sort of, ut mostly happens to your underage japanese assistant gf
>>724208816NTA, Im in my mid thirties and love Columbo. Give it a shot, you got nothing to lose! There will never be another series like Columbo, for a lot of reasons.
>>724209670How could Phoenix Wright not figure out how the Death Note works, like half his career is based around magic bullshit
>>724210821it being free to stream really has lead to a revival, i ended up watching the entire series last year after seeing one of those meme videos
>>724208816It's kino.
>>724209083So basically Dirty Harry but if it's a TV series, got it.
>>724211935It's not really like that at all. Colombo doesn't fire a shot in 10 seasons.
>>724208518Heh.
>>724211297He needs help

It's so weird watching this show from the first 1960s episode to the last episode with The Americans guy where they've got cellphones and shit.Also god damn the 1960s and 70s looked DISGUSTING.
>>724212226He fires a blank to test the soundproofing in one episode iirc
I just want to shout out to the 2001 nero wolfe mysteries.
>>724208389I would love this but i have 0 clue how to keep the premise while having it be a fun game. The premise of columbo was that we yhe audience already knew how the murder happened, and we watched how the culprit fumbled their own narratives by understimating columbo and folded by him asking the right questions that poked holes in the right places. I dont think playing as columbo would have the same satisfaction as the tv show has, and if you just do your average "collect clues and figure it out yourself" that most detective games have, youd miss the premise of the show.Id honestly would rather have the resources that would go to a potential columbo game instead be spent on an animated series.
>>724208389Much like I was convinced by memes to give Seinfeld a go, I also tried watching Columbus. Neither of them are good and both are unsurprisingly made by jews and star jews. Really made me think.
>>724213164>made by jews and star jewsisn't that every movie production
>>724208389>not a point and click where you can exasperate a bunch of NPCs and test out his hypotheses by interacting with objects
>>724208898>>724213164>stuck around for 3 hoursI guess you had one more thing to say
>>724213415Quote me pussy. That's the second time you've been outed.
>>724210654He would solve the case, but he wouldn't understand the death note, nor even understand that he solved the case
>zoomies discovering that episodic TV from the decades before prestigeslop actually had SOVL and that the enjoyability of dramas, police shows, detective shows, sitcoms, etc. was being able to just watch episodes without having to have primer, Previously On..., ongoing plots at best were just background stuff in episodes>also what actual nice lighting, sets, sound mixing, actors speaking above breathy whispers and such can do
>>724214073He'd scare the living shit out of Light, probably even assault him at some point.
>>724214271>the construction episode specifically made to irritate the viewer because everything is loud as fuck, drowning out Columbo, and they play it like the guy's going to get away with it>episode ends at the site at night with no machinery and Columbo fully in control, surrounding the areakino
>>724209670>Courage>couldn'tHe'd solve it just to make sure Muriel was safe
>>724208389>protagonist notices fake frames, lumen ghosting and upscaled resolution at crime scene
>>724208389do you really think the average Gamer has the attention span to find and point out contradictions in dialogue?
>>724214450Courage would find out how the deathnote works (by accident) and would spend the entire episode trying to steal it (and failing) and right at the moment kira wouldtry and write muriel's name on the deathnote, courage would pull a big bug swatter, swat the book out of yagami's hands and into an oven that muriel was baking a pie in (which makes her believe she burned her pie again)
>>724214347Alternatively he'd borrow something from Light and never return it
>>724214727>protagonist is fucking obnoxious and unlikable but you're supposed to accept he's a quirk chungus due to circumstance
>>724213164Ban soijak fags
>>724215063>tries to write his name>can't because he lent his only pen to Halligan who swears he doesn't know what he's talking about Sheer Kino
>>724209593>Midsomer Murders (early seasons)
>>724208816>Is it good?It's so good that the Romanian people almost rioted when they ran out of episodes.
>>724209670>Dexter couldn't, but would know how the note worksHuh?He doesn't have any supernatural intuition.He's just a murderer who also works as a forensics expert.
>>724215063>>724217541Halligan with Death Note would be apocalyptic. He'd probably start writing the names of various world leaders and celebrities.
>it's a McGoohan episode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeUncT6OdEUdid you know they made a columbo game for an apple PDA in the early 90s?
>>72420881632, one of the best detective shows ever. Watched it with my grandparents growing up and I popped it on for my younger niece and nephew and they enjoyed it as well. Him being a meme in VS debating helped bring some new blood into the fanbase.
>>724209670>using Kenneth Braghgghahgh for PoirotHere, I fixed the image for you
>>724209670>Kamen Rider W couldn't figure out how the Death Note worksI don't believe it unless they are going off the logic that W would beat Light before he could pull anything on them. Also it would be a case that Phillip would hard carry.
>>724210608what game anon, famicom detective club?
>>724209670Courage could absolutely solve it, who's the retard who made this?
>>724209670This makes no sense, how do you catch Kira without knowing how the Death Note works? Even at a basic level L had to come to the conclusion that Kira was killing people after identifying their name and face
>>724213256what game is this?
>>724214893How do they play AA?
>>724221182They don’t, that’s why the series is in the shitter right now
>>724219518You know it's kino when MchadGoohan is in
>>724209670Sam and Max would solve the case after killing as many people as Light did on accident
>>724221143Columbo
>>724221478Really?
>>724209452You're 17, Jotaro
>>724209670>no Poirot
>>724208816It's actually good. It's funny and very easy to watch. I watched it like 10 years ago. Then watch Detective Conan.
>>724223706>>724219985
now make this kino
>now I can't say that I've seen da video. People say ya deleted it off twitch and I've always been a pen and paper kinda guy, to tell the truth compudahs scare me. The other week though my nephew showed me something called discord, said he wanted to show me what a fortnite was, I saw a channel called REDHOTMEMES and I thought it was about chilli. Thats when I saw it, thats when I saw you shock the dog.
>>724209670Monk might not understand how the Death Note works or believe his functions, but I guarantee his autistic ass would be able to connect it's the only way the murders could be happening. Kira just interacting with him would probably cause him to slip up from sheer annoyance.
>>724213060Could be you know who the murderer is but making a beeline, accusing them too early and/or not interview enough witnesses or collect enough evidence results in them getting off.
>>724224891Isn't that just LA noire with doing a poor investigation / interviews allows the the bad guys to get away with it or have you accuse the wrong person?
>>724208898The episode you should watch is "Murder, Smoke and Shadows" (about a movie director) and you are an absolute imbecile.
>>724209896Half-Life is pretty much like that if you think about it.
>>724208816https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xngBF-sWsLg
There was this Czech point and click game like 20 years ago where you visited a village and had to find the culprit of some gruesome murders. It occurred to you during investigation that it was YOU than was committing the murders because of some psychological issues. The game was fantastic (at the time at least) and I've been trying to track it down and replay it but I can't remember the title so no luck. Anyone?
>the few times Columbo actually gets angry and outright calls the person out on their bullshithttps://youtu.be/9T48BtB9aEc>>724210453That's my favorite Columbo climax of all time. The rollercoaster of the murderer's superiority complex, his getting fed up with Columbo, and the guilt over fucking embezzling only for Columbo to show up and turn everything around.https://youtu.be/9rVc62E53tM
>>724208620I watched the whole of it last year and had a blast at 30yo.Don't think it would adapt much to a game, though.
>>724208389no it should be a FMV point and click with soulful pre-rendered backgrounds
I think that I have stumbled upon an inspiration for the whole Columbo series and his character. It's a Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder" (the title itself is distinctly Columbish btw). A must watch for Columbo fans although I am not a huge fan of Hitchcock in general. My favorite movie of him - and one of my most favorite movies ever - may be The Trouble with Harry (its a dark comedy), although Dial M is also very good.
>>724209593Based
>>724208518Fuck you
>>724209670I hate that every time I see this image I can just imagine Shuichi's voice literally doing a play by play of how the Death Note works with all the stupid danganronpa sound effects included
>>724208620I'm still waiting for a Matlock game
>>724209670David Young Henning couldn’t even figure out that he killed his own wife.
>>724210608Komada is awful guy
>>724227091that would've been the lamest ending ever, even for swery
>>724227336If it helps, he was also her father.

>>724213164I know you're probably shitposting but Seinfeld doesn't really get funny until Season 3 imo.
>>724209268I saw this video
Colombo is a gary stu like all crime show detectives
>>724224747It took monk like 7 seasons to find his wifes killer, and it was a public figure he probably saw hundreds of times prior.
>>724228314hey, maybe it's for the bestever since d4, he was making nothing but garbage
>>724209670How would you even solve the Kira case without learning about the death note?
Killing L was so lame. You can tell the creator knew he fucked up too, because he just gave us knock off L right after.
>>724209424Zoomer here. Saw the Columbo "ps3 has no games" video in college and now my friends and I watch the series on discord at least once a month. We finished the original run and are in the 80s now. Suitable for Framing is probably my favorite episode.
>>724211737Just watched this episode today lol. I heard the eighties episodes were supposed to be shit but the 3 I have seen so far were great.
>>724212720You're right. He is super averse to using guns though, in part because he's a terrible shot. In one episode he pays another cop 5 bucks to take a marksmanship exam for him lol
>>724225752holy shit that face is well done. Makes me wish I had the patience to fuck with faces in character creators
>>724209298>Murder............She Wrotehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnzP1W2vSQI
>>724229783>Suitable for FramingMine too. The mental game Columbo is doing where the art critic tries to put the blame on his aunt is hilarious.
>>724209670Why isn't he in there?
>>724209593>>Midsomer Murders (early seasons)My mom is watching that show right now, already on the newer barnaby inspector and holy shit, everyone in that show is a fucking weirdo.My mom is also watching Father Brown and it's a quite nice show too, the protagonist is the man that did the father of the weaslies in harry potter.

>>724219985based
>>724208816I'm 28 and it's kino as fuck
>>724211160It literally happens to your milf japanese assistant gf on the first case
>>724208389columbo rarely gets name-dropped or referenced but resident evil revelations did a good job with obrien
>>724208389L.A. Noire's main mechanic was trying to find out if the person you're speaking with is deceiving you or not. The whole premise of Columbo is that you the view knew who committed the crime from the very beginning, so it was a matter of seeing how Columbo got to that conclusion and how he fooled the killer into incriminating themselves. That dynamic is impossible to replicate in a video game because you're controlling the person you have to see achieve the revelation you already have, so all you can do is make a game around the dynamic of trying to fool the killer into revealing their crime, which isn't hard since you know how the crime was committed.
>>724236143Don't some ace attorney games show you who did it and your job is to just find evidence?
WTF IS GOING ON?!?! I just watched an episode of Columbo yesterday and now I see thisHELP HELP HELP ME!!!!!!! I'M BEING WATCHED!!!!!
>>724208389Is this the Bloodlines 2 cope thread? Because you did not actual investigative work there.
>>724209567There actress were a couple jokes that Cabot Cove was the murder capital of america in murder she wrote. From the japanese side there's also the spinoff about the murder standin silhouette that depicts his town as a complete shithole that had to make it illegal to move out because otherwise no one would wanna stay in murder city.
>Get a columbo clip suggested>Ultimately the killer is found because of his fingerprints>During the end of the clip the guy starts accusing columbo of touching the murder weapon>Everyone sort of just laughs>Watch the clip again>Notice the entire time that Columbo is laying out what happened, he has his hands in his pockets and never takes them outAre all episodes like this? Where I feels I need to watch them more than once to catch everything?Cause if so that's kino.
>>724238765The earliest episodes are like that, it starts running out of steam and becomes a self-parody by the end of the first 7 seasons (but is still hard carried by Falk and his guest star being great) and the ABC revival is very hit and miss with more misses than hits.
>>724229053Come on man, Monk was way to close to the case, taking a bunch of time off / quitting the force because of trauma, and it's clues went extremely cold during the interim of his break.Kira is very active throughout Death Note, Light doesn't take a break. Monk would catch on.
>>724219504I think Halligan would instead start scribbling down random nonsense, like his grocery shopping list. But he then takes a liking to some named brand, and somehow winds up killing the owner of his usual stuff.Pray for Al's safety, pitza is at stake.
>>724226568His tie knot being off-center greatly disturbs me.
>>724231368He finds lost pets. He doesn't solve real crimes.
>>724208389Rated M?
>>724239358Light takes multiple breaks. He just has misa or somebody else fill in during the down time.
>>724242424Jesus, how was this allowed on TV?
>>724208389I really think the main reason Columbo works is because you don’t know what he’s up to or what his plan to catch the killer is 90% of the time. Essentially, he’s portrayed as a benevolent cryptid who exists solely to psychologically torture the killer. I don’t know how you’d translate that into a game. know how you translate that into a game.
>>724242659You're the killer and have to fool Columbo. Hardest game ever made, rumors of a "good ending" where you beat him circulate for decades with no proof.There actually was a game like that for Kindaichi, japan only of course and not even a fan translation
>>724242643Columbo is quite the sly one.
I genuinely can’t watch any movie starring Peter Falk because I associate him too much with Columbo. It’s hard to see him play any other character and not see Columbo, so it becomes distracting.It’s weird because I’m not like this for any other actor/actress.
>>724238765The first clip i saw was the "you identified the camera" bit. It's probably the perfect 5 minute distillation of the whole of the show. Columbo playing the fool, the culprit playing the innocent noble right up until he takes the bait, and then "Were you a witness to what he just did?"
>>724211287Many people loved the series - it was unique and really endearing.
>>724238765Most of the early works is Really Good - very talented people doing what they did best.Later on it was not that good anymore but still enjoyable. Different times.
