Kane99 Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 I would love to see a video game based around Black Mirror created. And before anyone says there already is one, that is not based on the Black Mirror show. There is a video game called The Black Mirror, but it's not about the show. Anyway, I'm sure some of you saw Black Mirror Bandersnatch, which was kind of like a video game itself, but not in the traditional sense. I feel a video game in this world would work really well, especially with how crazy the show could get. What do you guys think?
Withywarlock Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Charlie Brooker's really into video games, so I'm sure if someone pitched the idea of a game to him with Black Mirror branding he'd be able to lend a lot of creative direction to it. I'm sure the thought has crossed his mind, and perhaps Bandersnatch was a 'backdoor pitch' for such a game?

And who knows, it could have been a pitch for a game, or maybe even a hint that one could be coming. And I could see him providing a lot to a video game world.
skyfire Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 I loved that show, there was recently another show on netflix with similar story type approach. And they too have made an impression I wonder if some of such TV series make games too that would surely add in creepy factor and create new genre.

Are you referring to another season of Black Mirror, or a show that is similar to Black Mirror?
skyfire Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 No... it was kind of like creep out or something like that. I will go through list if I have it added. It was not season of black mirror because in this show at the end there was some errie kid figure that was keeping eye on every narrative.

If anyone can really make The Black Mirror happen, it's definitely going to be Charlie Brooker. I think if the right pressure points are pushed, it's definitely going to happen.
Empire Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 Bioshock, a dark sci-fi story with a mind-bending twist, has more in common with Black Mirror than Life is Strange, a time travel story about friendship and serial killers, or Tales From the Borderlands, a comedy story about a businessman on an alien planet. The other games you mentioned aren't even sci-fi, just story driven adventure games. What does Black Mirror have to do with Until Dawn or The Wolf Among Us? They have twists? So does everything nowadays.

Black Mirror Bandersnatch was awesome in every sense for me with the young programmer's dabble with reality.
