The trick would be to NOT require the player to do ridiculous amounts of micromanagement. Many mistborn powers could be passive with a flashy sound or visual cue when they trigger. No need to target individual bullets, just have some bullets get pulled into your heavily-armored chestplate for a duration if you're burning iron, as a passive effect. If you flare it, an on-demand effect, it would increase the percentage of bullets pulled in but also deplete your reserves. I think the emotional allomancy could be the most fun. Not only could you influence others' dialogue, but you could be influenced, with more extreme options showing up whenever. Maybe if you rank up Zinc enough you'd get a new option that lets you notice there's a Rioter nearby or something.

The proper way to do a Mistborn video game is to set it ~200 years before the Mistborn books. Set it during a house war. That way you have a lot of reasons to use your powers and kill people in Luthadel. In the end, the Lord Ruler shows up like Darth Vader and kills you.

(I've played it, it's fun) And yea, I would trust Arkane to make a good Mistborn game but that's probably one of the few studios I think could do something well.

Make it a story rich side scroller/metroidvania with different prota's, each with their own combination of allomancy and ferulchemy. 3d won't work, but 2d should be fine.

Make it a Bioware-like group RPG where everyone on your team is a misting.

Rougelike where your powers are random. If you luck into a Mistborn the game is on easy mode.

While it would be pretty much bullshit, it would be hilarious if you spent 70 hours playing as some awesome Mistborn, destroying other houses and such, and then at the end (since the Lord Ruler is, you know, God), you actually switch to the Lord Ruler and the final section is showing how absolutely NOTHING a mistborn is against the LR. That said, I would pay cash money for a Mistborn open world game set in Luthadel before Kelsier and co. are even born. gently caress being a member of one of the houses, let me be another skaa mistborn so I can go on a rampage against obligators and steel inquisitors.

I would play any and all of these hypothetical Mistborn/Cosmere video games. The House War card game looks extremely fun for when people are sick of playing Catan.

Oh I'd play them too, I'm just not confident they'd be very good Same with the movies - I'll go see them, but if DMG actually makes anything I'm not confident they'll be very good either.

I actually asked him about video games at a con once, he said Kingdoms of Amalur crashed so hard many publishers balk at him asking, this was a few years back but he definitely wants to do one.

My point is that saying things like, "needs to be animated there's no other way it can possibly work." and "Absolutely zero way that (live action) could be any fraction as satisfying as the books." is just nonsense to me because there is clearly a way. It might be expensive, but it's not impossible. Amazon or HBO or any other deep pocketed network could do a tremendous job with live action/CGI. Just don't out-pace the source material lol.

Y’all realize Mistborn has been optioned and Brandon is writing the screenplay right? And most of his other stuff has been optioned as well. Something will get made into a tv show or movie at some point and I doubt it will be animated.

depends very heavily on how Wheel of Time does, I think if that show pays off, someone will throw money at one of Sanderson's properties, since it'll be proof you can do high-magic live action with a large-but-not-insane budget and that there's demand for fantasy that isn't purely GoT/Witcher dark/gritty stuff brandon basically said this in some interview, iirc -- people have bought options for his stuff for years now, but hollywood needs a proof of concept that this kind of thing can work eke out fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Jan 20, 2021 |

Yea I mentioned DMG in a previous post - https://www.dmg-entertainment.com/films/way-of-kings/ https://www.dmg-entertainment.com/films/mistborn/ https://www.dmg-entertainment.com/ip-universes/cosmere-universe/ Last I heard they had like the writers from xXx (the Vin Diesel movies) and like Saw 5 or something. Not exactly giving me hope. I hope Amazon's WoT is great. Too bad Covid has hosed up filming. Actually I guess with vaccinations available now maybe they'll be able to get back to work sooner than later? Hmm...

Something will get made into a tv show or movie at some point and I doubt it will be animated. Have the rights actually be sold, or is it merely "optioned"? Optioning is a cheap investment for companies interested in acquiring IP to limit potential future costs if a property takes off and becomes worth something in the future. Basically almost everything beyond a certain minimum level gets optioned because it's cheap. That doesn't mean that it's going to be made, or that if it is made, that the author necessarily has any input into the process or say over the final product. Being "optioned" isn't a big deal unless the option is actually exercised; until then it's just a little extra cash for the author. Options for film rights to books come cheap, too, and there's no guarantee that the author gets paid even if the option is exercised - and there's a bunch of steps that a production company will take between an IP being optioned and the option being formally exercised where the production company might just decide that it's not worth pursuing - getting a screenplay written is a very early step in the process and says almost nothing about whether or not something eventually gets made.

With Mistborn, Brandon owns the rights again. DMG owns Stormlight, Cineflex owns Legion, Universal owns Skyward, and Stuart Beatie is working on an animated series for Alcatraz.
