TV 2 Game

The show I would pick would be The Sopranos

For those who are not aware of The Sopranos, the show follows a New Jersey crime boss in his everyday life.

Design a free game for the Internet that will draw people to the series:

I think a fun and easy game for the Internet would be creating your very own gangster. One could start at the bottom and work himself or herself up to the very top of the organization, but not able to become the boss. Becoming the boss would be a later version of a game or a new game entirely.

Design a stand-alone game for Nintendo that spins off from the series:

Here is where the real fun can start. After playing the last game one would have worked himself or herself up to second in command. This new game would be the story of the second in command person not happy with being second in command so he or she leaves The Soprano gang and starts his or her own. The game would encompass many missions from recruiting people to his or her gang to fighting with The Sopranos for dominance of North Jersey.

Design a simple game for the TV Show’s Website that would be a fun way for people to remember the show:

A simple way to have people remember the show would be to create a simple game for them to play on the website. My game would be something as simple as the player is trying to pickup money from people and return it to the boss, but there is a time limit, and one receives high scores for the more money he or she delivers to the boss.

A more detailed look at idea #2

I want to take a closer look at the technology and aesthetics used for this game. I would want it to be and Xbox or Playstation game; those two consoles have the best graphics and game play. I would model the game very similarly to the latest Grand Theft Auto game. For those who have not played GTA5 it is a very visually intense game, which totally immerses the gamer into the world of Grand Theft Auto.

The mechanics of the game will be quite simple. The player is allowed to roam around the city and sort of free play if he or she chooses, but one cannot advance in the game with out completing certain missions first. For instance one cannot have an AK-47 in free play unless he or she completes the mission with the Ukrainians to set up an illegal arms trade. Basically the more missions the player does the better free play becomes.

The Story

All your life you wanted to work for The Soprano family in the previous game that got you hooked to the series you got to do just that. You had the time of your life cracking skulls and collecting money. You do such a good job, and through a series of unfortunate events you work your way up to second in command under Mr. Soprano himself. After a few years of earning Mr. Soprano a great deal of money Mr. Soprano has a heart attack and dies. You are passed up for promotion to become head of the family, instead that position goes to Mr. Soprano’s son, who you think is worthless, but you cannot question majority rule of the captains. Upset with this decision you decide to leave The Soprano crew and start your very own rival gang. This is where the game picks up, you are just starting to build your crew. The beginning missions will focus on recruiting people to join you. As the game progresses your crew gets bigger and bigger till finally you are forced to deal with The Sopranos this final conflict will be the last and hardest mission. The last mission will be to kill all of the 7 heavily guarded captains of The Soprano crew without dying. Each captain will make you use a skill previously learned in earlier parts of the game. Once the game is beaten there will be an option for free play where you can roam free and create chaos just like in a Grand Theft Auto game.
