Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn | Official Gameplay Trailer
Skv@lemmy.world 1 day agoThat’s when you start completely fresh and use only one or two iconic elements that define a universe, which were sabers and mandos. Expanse is pretty grounded and honestly doesn’t really have much oomph (besides the immortals) in a way to avoid using main cast, so it kinda doesn’t work here yet.

I would imagine one could gin up a political conflict in that setting either before or after the main story, but I’ve only barely dipped my toe in. Either way, I’d be surprised if they were just retreading the main story.

If its just a “movie” or book game like Witcher - that would be perfect. Fans want to immerse and interact with the main story than see something entirely friggin unrelated.

I don’t follow you. The Witcher games take place after the books for exactly the same reason, and they’re highly acclaimed.

But Expanse didn’t finish showing us the rest of the books, so either there will be a mad gap from what most people saw in the show or who knows what. Either way, TIL that a game is being made and I wanna see what comes from it.
