frick off with this Ganker shit
The frick would make a doctor who game fun? Dude tries to solve everything without violence and is quirky. How does any of that translate to a fun game?
Make someone else the protagonist instead of the Doctor. Them they could make an fps game with classic Doctor Who monsters.
You could make a UNIT or Torchwood game and shoehorn a Third or first person shooter into that, However that would be a complete waste of the ip.
Torchwood TellTale game where you play as Harkness and seduce aliens.
RTS game with Daleks, Sontarans, Cybermen, etc...
point and click mystery game boom
Make it something like Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
That's literally Professor Layton and those games are great. Okay sometimes Layton uses violence but so does the Doctor.
Third and Sixth dictors used violence all the time.
>Dude tries to solve everything without violence
Sure, right up until he either:
>convinces someone to kill the current evil
>convinces the current evil to kill itself
>imprisons the evil to eternal torment or torture
etc.
>kills/maims the evil himself
The Doctor has consigned more living things to death and suffering than most videogame settings.
I think that a Doctor Who game where you try to settle things peacefully first could work.
I'm thinking of something like the way GriftLands has gameplay for trying to convince someone or arguing against them.
A Doc game would not work, unless its some on the rails cinematic adventure, but at this point why not just watch a movie, but then again, moviegames exist so frick this industry.
If we are talking about an actual Doctor Who game, it would have to be some sort of in-universe survival type game, where you go to <whatever this is>, figure out <what is going on> and then try to <solve the issue>.
Like <strange planet where a space cruise liner crashed>, where we are <trying to save shipwrecked survivors> and the zone is full of <weeping fricking angels trying to eat our ass>.
Or we are in <london> (because ofcourse we are), and <fricking mannequins are attacking people> so we need to <find the nestene conscious and thwart it>.
It would be some sort of co-op game (or something), along the lines of Deep Rock Galactic and similar things.
To clarify:
A Doc game where you play AS Doc, would not work.
A Doc game where we are just some Torchwood/UNIT Dildos or whatever, would.
I'd say that you should play as a white male cop or who's ex-military. He's in over his head while dealing with [pick Dr Who villain/race here]. The idea is that he has no clue what he's dealing while someone from Torchwood has an inkling of what's going. The Docter is there to weave exposition into the narrative.

It really doesn't work that well for vidya adaptations unless you want to do make point and click-esque games
Lego Dimensions level was peak.

>utterly ruined in two seasons of quota hires running and acting the show
>so utterly fricking awful they had to bring a previous doctor back
>still couldn't resist flinging shit at the fans even as they retconned the new doctor out of existence
Woof.

Straight up a lie, Doctor has some very low lows, still it didn't deserve the humiliation it's been receiving.
Outside of the last few years of constant batshit dumpsterfire, what would you consider the lowest low?
The Twin Dilemma and Time-Flight stand out as pretty wretched lows of the classic era. Leisure Hive was pretty bad. Horns of Nimon stands out as a terrible Tom Baker episode with a bunch of production errors left in the final print. Love and Monsters was awful. Fear Her. Rings of Akhaten with the fricking singing. Smith's first season is hard to re-watch with the whimsical scripts and overuse of humor, aside from the two part finale.
Wilderness years and missing episodes aside, there's always been some very below par content here and there, people always remember the good stories but never shit like Edge of Destruction or Web Planet. Don't get me wrong, the timeless highly praised content is there, but it's not always been that.
They don't care. They know that no matter how shitty the show is, no matter how poorly they treat the audience they will still get full funding from the BBC. Dr Who is the nepo-baby dream scenario.
They didn't though, if that was true she'd still be the current doctor and they wouldn't have had to bring back old ones to try to stymie the hemorrhaging.
Lot of good that brief bump in ratings did. I still think the BBC doesn't give two fricks if the property is profitable.
>Make the new Doctor a literal gay Black person from outer space
>Keep Tennant around as a backup to show up for the finale ratings boost/UNIT spinoff
>>60 years of timeless, highly praised content
wew lad, are we watching the same show?
I kinda lost interest during the run with the guy with the curly hair, Capaldi I think? I don't really remember why. Can I get a QRD on what the frick they did afterwards?
Next Doctor was a chick that they made gay and lame. Frick, the new special took everything away that was cool about Davros. Including the paraplegic representation.

Watching someone piss around in a Welsh quarry is not good television.
Doctor Who immersive sim is in my dream games list.
Same here.
>Dialogue choices that can make our Doctor an butthole, comedic, smug, or knowledgeable
>Choices matter that can affect the present world when doing missions in the past
>Upgradeable sonic screwdriver (increase range, reduce lockpick difficulty, emp, hacking, burning, detonating, etc)
>Tardis as our base
>Random encounters when travelling worlds
>A lot of running, parkouring, stealth, puzzle solving
The list is endless, but it would be a niche game.
This guy gives a brief review of every single Doctor Who video game.
They all range from shit to mediocre with rare exceptions like Edge of Time, but that's a VR exclusive
Literally Who

Rich has never been a healthy man, but why are his teeth so yellow?
He smokes like a chimney
>Dr homosexual told off by strong women
>you're supposed to get angry!?
>the wut
check this out. Who gives a flying frick how you plug the game?
The original run of the series (63-89) came out when the British games industry was stuckk making shitty Spectrum games and Amiga ports that never left Europe, and the series wasn't popular enough globally for a bigger dev to care. NuWho (2005-current) is a soap opera for women and homosexuals who don't play video games.
>Celestial Toymaker has godlike powers and can appear in multiple places at once.
>Somehow can't catch a ball
Can't believe people were excited for RTD to come back
I cant believe I used to like doctor who. I went and rewatched some of the more iconic episodes and just cringed inside with the acting and storytelling
>I went and rewatched some of the more iconic episodes
May I ask which ones?
You know I'm fine with what they did with the 14th doctor, Big Finish now has an excuse to why there are so many David Tennant stories despite.
So now we're 3/2 times more likely that we'll get this kino to actually happen.
Lel, he said that Fallout 1 is not a good game
>No one has posted those webms yet
>Watching Dr. Who beyond Eccleston
What the FRICK is wrong with you?
>Watching NuWho at all
First season still had too much homosexual shit.
There wasn't any actual homosexual shit for a long time. That's part of the reason why the fujos on tumblr flocked to the series.
Closest they came to it that I remember before Capaldi came around was Captain Jack being an animal fricker/child molester.
Do you not remember how many dykes and gays RTD stuffed into the first season?
Nope! Please, enlighten me
Do I need to? It was a running joke for years how many queers were in the show.
You ain't got anything else besides Captain Jack the dogfricker.
John Barrowman was so much of a homosexual that he's a major reason why Eccleston left the show
Dr Who is a shit franchise and the TV series is peak goyslop for bongs with missing teeth. The Black personworship in the new series doesn't do it any favors. Never ever post this shitheap on Ganker again. I have never seen such an awful thread image in my life.
