So here I am, about to graduate with a BS for game development, part-way through book five of the Dark Tower series, looking forward to the movie/TV series starting next year, and wondering... Why isn't there a Dark Tower video game series yet? I know sai King hasn't really touched anything video game-related since that whole F13 thing back in 2000, but I feel like the Dark Tower multiverse is just such a rich environment for story-telling. I already have a few ideas of things I'd like to see in such a game.
For starters, I picture it in the third-person perspective with movement similar to GTA V, Red Dead Redemption, or the Witcher 3. It would also be pretty great to have a Billy-Bumbler companion that follows you around and occasionally helps you find useful items in the world. Combat.... That's where things would get difficult. How do you shoot with your mind using a controller or a keyboard and mouse? I feel like typical third-person shooting would only do it justice to a certain degree; there would have to be something special.
Story-wise, I really don't have any ideas beyond the vague "gathering the ka-tet for the big quest" kind of deal... Anyway, does anyone else feel like this could work? Any other ideas out there?
