Visceral thinking about making a 'Macbeth' game

[KnackChap]

IG: So is there anything else in your classical studies that you'd like to realize in game form?

 

JK: Macbeth the game is something I've been thinking about for years, but now, I think the emotional quality that games are achieving and the value level of the acting and the sound work makes it possible. The thing is, the unique quality of games is being interactive; it's about action and killing things and pursuing those mechanics is tricky when bringing in classic media; Dante's is more of a violent interpretation of the poem for example. Macbeth would be great, though; there are witches and a supernatural experience along with plenty of intrigue and murder.

merchant of venice or Othello are my fav 2 classic literature. but the former doesnt not translate well in a game. Macbeth however can be make-able.

 

but damn.. are Visceral on a roll or what

So an Assassins creed rip off this time?

These guys are good, so whatever they choose to make, I wouldn't write it off. Plus, you've gotta appreciate studios like Visceral and Blackrock, who can churn out two good new IP in the space of two years, when they could easily have made sequels instead.

Macbeth - oooh! It could be a fantasy RPG

[sup bro?]

It would be a disaster. Please do not butcher any more classic pieces of literature.
