But it’s a classic story, among the likes of the Odyssey or the Iliad. I’m surprised how little literature gets vidya adaptations in general (and when it does it’s always slavic stuff like the Witcher or Metro).
except beowulf sucks ass. it reads like a twelve year old's OC fanfic >BEOWULF COULD SWIM FOREVER AND HOLD HIS BREATH FOREVER >HE COULD ALSO EAT EVERYTHING AND SCREW EVERYTHING >HE BEAT BAD GUY >HE ALSO BEAT BAD GUY MOM >BUT THEN HE DIED FRIED MOM POISON AND WAS LOVED AND REMEMBERED FOREVER RIP
Beowulf transcribed as a video game wouldn't be what you think it would be, it would turn into a bastardization of cape-shit and overly designed characters with exaggerated personalities to get normos s0iing.
And unfortunately, how it should be represented no longer appeals to the current homosexuals permeating the fanbase. Long are the day of Sword and Sorcery kino.
Because its basic as a premise for anything. Gamers have been things much more expansive, fantastical, outlandish or more thought out than it despite it being an influence for most modern forms of fantasy small or large. Its like asking why people don't start fires with sticks and stones anymore when you have a lighter or matches.

bad comparison
beowulf is no mere tool, but a form of high art built into the fabric of western civilization; it's not "out of date" in the same way that analog fire-starting tools are
>beowulf is no mere tool, but a form of high art built into the fabric of western civilization
So is starting fires or the wheel, the methods just got easier, more expansive, more pragmatic, more interesting. Beowulf does nothing that people haven't seen already in a million other ways. I would play a Beowulf game but it wouldn't sell.
Because it would be seen as generic. It has the Seinfeld problem, because it's the originator of all these tropes modern audiences when they play it will think it's cliche even if it technically started it all
Normal people don't actually like stuff like Beowulf, its why the northman flopped.

>no rpg where you play through the Odyssey, experiencing all of Odysseus' trials and tribulations
We did get a musou of the Iliad. Called Warriors: Legends of Troy. On 360 (but only in europe) and PS3. Not very good.

well it's written by a brit
Wouldn’t sell a single copy
then why is god of war so popular?
Because of the god of war name, which was about greek mythology
>fight two monsters
Great game

beowulf but we would need it to be more modern if you know what I'm saying
I hear ya. Beowulf will be gender swapped, and grendels mother will be a black man.

He was fricking Holly the same way woodie was with Lilly right?
Me and my friend played through this and picked all the worse options and the only thing I can sort of remember is burning some old b***hes tree
This stupid game is a manlet fantasy since you are 5'8" and you are literally ripping limbs off a 6'5" man.
