John Carpenters "The Thing"

[BaconIsGood4You]

Anybody else really want a The Thing mod (or similar style, doesn't have to be the movie). It would work amazingly on Source because of the expressions, you would really have to watch to see if the characters change and their emotions. The Thing would also be a great multi-player mod were one or two players are initially it.

Crips, now I'm giddy for a The Thing mod...Some make it or me get mad!

 

[PoeticRocker]

This be cool, if done right, it can be really great. I support this idea!

Unfortunately Mr Carpenter probably wouldn't support it, neither would the film studio who made the film. So you would have to call it The Entity and hope no-one notices.....

Anyone who played The Thing knows that game had some serious potential. I played through the entire game, and loved it (it really suprised me how good it was), but there were a few aspects where it felt short,. the main one was it was just too hard to get your squadmates to go insane! You had to leave them in a really gory room, something that would never happy unless you really wanted it to.

Encorperating a sanity meter for squadmates with a mind of their own in a grim dark would would be a great addition for any mod. It doesnt have to be based on The Thing at all.

They wont let you do it, it's a violation of intellectual rights

The Entity is also the title of a film...

The Thing was a great game - which really surprised me too
A mod for HL2 could be very good actually, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

And just out of interest - IS it a violation of intellectual rights? There are Star Wars based mods all the time...

The Thing was the best Sci-Fi I've ever seen, I mean I watch this movie about 6 times in 3 days it was that good. A mod would be so much fun. They should let people make a mod of The Thing because its not like their going to make money off it or anything.

 

[Asknoone]

When i bought the thing, i wasn't expecting much from it other than "Oh, its an another movie cash in."

Wrong. The game is really, really good, and has a ton of potential. The only problem i found, was not your tream mates going insane, but the fact that it was mostly scripted when they did turn.

 

[Milkman]

The Thing the game has alot of potential. A mod based off Hl2 would be awsome.

It probably IS a violation of intellectual rights, but sometimes the holders of the rights choose not to bother. In the case of Star Wars, they probably just figure it's more beneficial to let the mods be created, thus maintaining a more robust and happy Star Wars community, than to clamp down on every mod and piss people off.
