Knightmare VR? I don't like the concept!
-
Well that is my opinion and I hope Tim Child does read it or whoever.
Why spoil the memories of a great classic childhood show by turning it into some live dungeonfest thingy with full VR and the dungoneers as avatars instead of themselves
Read this months 'the eye shield' for example and it says the same there..
We did not mainly tune in to be impressed by the visual effects but because it was a great show
If Tim child wants to make this new show thats his decision but he should keep the name we all know as knightmare out of it.
-
I didn't say that I wasn't apprehensive about Knightmare VR myself.
BUT I am prepared (Just like I was back in 1990 when I first saw Knightmare) to give it a fair chance to impress me.
I think that if it is done right, with the right people producing and directing, the right people acting or voiceing it & if they use the right type of game format I don't see why it won't work.
I know thats a lot of IF's but with Tim Childs at the helm I have hope for Knightmare VR.

Very true, on a webcomic I read then the formula of the comic has had a complete shift after its firsts year, some people were very negative about it ages before the second season began and the author was taking a big risk. It's now only a week into it and several of the negative people, including a good friend of mine, have stopped reading without giving it a fair chance because they convinced themselves it was awful. so do not allow yourself to have negative opinions on it before it has come out as it increases the chances of you disliking it

And Motley wind the coverted.
"Stateing The Bloomin Obvious Award." ;D
Although you never know maby the person who is playing the avatar of te dungeoneer will need to ware a VR Helmet so as to see the Dungeon.
They could always make that look likr The Helmet Of Justice.
-
Something tells me most of you will be too old to apply when the chance comes, hehe. I'm not quite sure why people so desperately want to hang onto the old Helmet of Justice in the Knew Knightmare, since it has no real purpose. I really think we shouldn't push for things in the new version just because we liked them in the old one, when they'd serve no real purpose or need a huge amount of time-consuming explanation this time.
-
Certainly true, Skarkill. In fact there's every likelihood that the upper age limit will be raised to early middle age (meaning even I'd qualify - just), as most of the prospective contestants would be from the established audience. And the established audience is mostly in its twenties now.

Hmm, things may change, but from what Tim Child has said here, I'd suggest they do intend the new KM for the younger market. However, the complement to that for the older viewier, TimeGate, seems to have disappeared from mention, and if that's a sign it's not going to happen for whatever reason, perhaps indeed the new KM age-range will change. If, however, the reason TG isn't surfacing is because they can't find a backer to support such a show for us oldies, it's less likely they'd just change the target audience of the new KM to fit it. While the old KM was popular, I don't know how convincing the argument would be that now 20somethings (yes, I know that doesn't fit everyone) who watched the show as children would watch something similar as adults.
-
Isn't it Timegate that Challenge and Televirtual are supposed to be producing together or something completely different? There hasn't been nothing mentioned since they first mentioned something about it even though they said to stay tuned for more info.
They've indeed not mentioned anything. I don't think it was ever said that it was TimeGate they were collaborating on. Challenge just said they were working with/talking to Televirtual about a project, I really don't remember any name or further details being given.
-
I don't think that Challenge mentioned a name but if I can remember they said it would be a similar sort of thing to Knightmare and Televirtual have only two major projects (correct me if I'm wrong) that they are working on, which is KM VR and Timegate. My guess is that if Challenge are working/talking with Televirtual on one of them, it's going to more then likely be Timegate. That's just a guess and what I believe though!
-
Well, yes, although we don't know for certain Televirtual aren't working on something else. However, if they did have a whole new project in the works, you'd think they'd have announced it in their news section or something, unless it's not yet far enough advanced to be worthy of "news" status, or they and/or Challenge decided to keep it quiet.
Hard to say, really.
-
Hehe, well even if the new KM age range wasn't right, I would guess if TimeGate happens you could definitely apply for that.
