With the announcement of the new JP movie coming out it got me thinking, what happened to the video games? JP actually had some great games bucking the "Movie games always suck" trend, the Genesis games rocked, the Game Gear/Master System games are incredibly overlooked and underrated, Operation Genesis was addictive as hell and let my inner child out, and then there was Trespasser. Let's talk about Trespasser.
I feel like Trespasser was a game that came out too early, it had so much potential. It had an expansive and immersive world that pushed the limits of what PC's could do at the time, it was the Far Cry of it's time and that's it, it shares so much resemblance to the Far Cry series I can't imagine the developers of FC didn't take any cues from Trespasser. With the wide open world and the realistic perspective and lush enviroment. Unfortunately the game ended up feeling rushed and unfinished with the ending being incredible underwhelming.
I feel there is a huge missed opportunity to make a truly epic JP game, all they have to do is give the rights to the makers of Far Cry series. Just imagine FC 3 and 4 but with Dinosaurs, instead of bases to take over your taking over research labs to steal Dino DNA to sell to the highest bidder to make cash to buy new weapons and equipment. Instead of hunting or being hunted by tigers and wolves it's Raptors and T-Rexes. Instead of riding an elephant into battle your riding a Triceratops wielding a Light Machinegun. Maybe you will say to me, we don't need another game to try to rip off Far Cry, but look at the latest Tomb Raider reboot, it obviously copied the Uncharted formula but it worked flawlessly and was truly epic.
While playing Far Cry 3 a couple years ago I felt like it was so obvious that they were going to make a JP movie game or at least DLC with dinosaurs. If you listened to some of the enemies talk to each other you could hear them make references to another island and saying stuff like "At least were not on that other island with the dinosaurs" ah well maybe I'm just dreaming here.
