Kane99 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 The holidays are here and it got me thinking, we don't really see many games where Santa is the main character, actually I don't recall there ever being a game where you can be Santa. I think it'd be cool to see a game featuring Santa, but not in his setting. So maybe a Santa game where it's like GTA and open world. The purpose of the game is to deliver gifts, but you have to deal with all kinds of obstacles or something. Idk, I think it'd be funny to see more games featuring a character like Santa. What do you guys think? I bet Steam has some games featuring him as a playable character. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Santa? What we talking here - a fitness game where the goal is to get Santa from a big belly to six pack abs? 😹 Or how many presents you can deliver in a single night? It features an alert system where kids might raise an alarm if they see you take the milk and cookies after dropping off the presents...I'm sorry but that's the best I could do.

skyfire Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I think any serious game can't take such pagan fantasies seriously as those were designed for commercialize purpose so hard to see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 GTA, yes going around being Mr Santa mod 🙂 why not? That's a good GTA character that you can be or do.. But end of the day it's mods for GTA series. GTA 5 mostly. 🙂 Hell, going around shooting snow at people 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why not. It's not like Santa is copyrighted by anyone. So you can go to town and do whatever you want with the Santa character. So the ideas are endless if you think about it. Just look at the various tv shows and movies with people playing Santa. No one seems to care. 5 hours ago, Empire said: GTA, yes going around being Mr Santa mod 🙂 why not?

Idk. I just feel like it'd be fun to have a game people can revisit every Christmas season. I don't think there's a good game like that out there. At least not yet.

I even had a "giveaway" on GTA online but the car had an ignition bomb so when they started up the car, they're blown to a million pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I believe every online game features Santa as a playable character each year (Fortnite too i guess), it might make nosense in some games (like what the hell has Santa to do with PUBG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Sadly I think it's too seasonal. If you bring Santa, why not make Easter Bunny, etc. as a main character (which can make the story or genre kind of fade away). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntax is right, you may as well ask why more games don't feature the Easter Bunny. You knew the answer before you even asked the question.

Even if it's seasonal, we don't normally see games featuring Santa as a main character. We see movies, tv, and all that. So I figured why not, start a topic about it. Plus it was during the holiday season when I started this topic anyway. Better question is, why would anyone respond to a topic about Santa in February? 😄 Edited February 5, 2021 by Kane99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seems to care. The thing is you need supply and demand point there. it's not copyright problem but more or less expectation of certain character in relevant place.
